Alright mate,

I'm from Dublin but have been living in Liverpool for the last seven years. It’s a great city to go out in and it’s constantly changing in terms of new bars and restaurants. The pubs haven't changed in the seven years I've been here though which is great as there are some cracking boozers.

In terms of telling you where to go, it depends on what you’re looking for. The first thing I would say is unless you're looking for a dodgy night out, singing karaoke and pulling an auld one, then don't go to Mathew street. It’s rough, full of tacky bars and no-one from Liverpool goes out there. I think I've been there about 3 times in the time I've been here. The same goes for Concert square, it's generally a rough night out as well, but if you're looking for something similar to a lads canaries islands holiday, then it could be a good spot to head to.

The best bars to go to on a night out are about a 2 minute walk from Concert square. Seel street has a load of great bars; Saltdog Slims, Alma de Cuba, the Peacock, Empire, Heebie Jeebies, and there are a few decent bars on the adjacent streets. Mojo is fairly popular too just off Seel Street. If you’re looking for something different, Santa chupitos and El Bandito on Slater Street are cool places to go if you’ll drink cocktails. I’d recommend Kazimier gardens on the lower end of Seel Street for a few beers in the evening, brilliant little beer garden, fairly quirky.
The best boozers in town in town are Ship and Mitre on Dale street, The Philharmonic pub on Hope street, Peter Kavanaghs on Egerton street, Ye cracke on Rice street and the Grapes on Roscoe street. Pogue Mahones is decent too if you fancy a genuine Irish pub. Those pubs are fairly fair apart but if you stick to either Dale Street or Hardman Street you won’t be struggling for good pubs. There’s a load of other pubs but can’t name them all so had to condense them to this. If you need to know anything else, let me know and I’ll try to help. Hope you have a good weekend.

+1 for The Ship and Mitre, myself and the other half went there last Monday night, great range of ales and a nice local atmosphere. Bier just off Bold St is nice but a lot more hipster-y.

Is there any truth in the rumours that you can get a 'warm pocket' in certain Liverpool pubs if they get a bit crowded and there are large queues for the lavatories ?
