The best places to stay til 2 or stop on your travels.
Cava:-

We
love this place, it is a required destination on every visit
to town (even when we’re just shopping). It’s a
small duplex that has great music and a wide array of tequila
to encourage late night toilet hugging. In particular, go here
on a Thursday night for the Open Mic night known as Mixamacoustic
it is the best around provided by some cheeky chappies and often
a very talented female guest artiste who’s name escapes
me. My favourite bar.
Tipple:-
Tequila with a worm in it. Fazza’s done it, everyone else
has shit out so far. For Neil I should mention they have Jagermeister.
Bar
Hannah:-

This
is one of two Bar Hannah’s and the other one is in New
York so if you live in England it’s cheaper to go to this
one. The place is laid back and full of the cool folk, plus
the female bar staff are a joy to watch and friendly to boot.
There’s a heated and covered patio area to the side of
it which we like, and few places have a more diverse array of
live music. I have walked in here at one in the morning on a
Wednesday to be greeted by a five piece Jazz band and me and
Fazza have sat drinking (Ahem) Shandy’s on a Sunday afternoon
while two MC’s freestyled for half an hour before leaving
the DJ to scratch it up nicely for a bit. They also have plenty
of live music upstairs but we haven’t got that far yet,
we like it downstairs and we’re set in our ways. Bar Hannah
is cool as fuck. Its on Hardman Street by the Bombed Out Church.
Tipple:-
Look we were hung over, the shandy’s helped us get through
another day of drinking.
Modo:-

The
review sh*ts you not, this place is super cool. We frequent
it happily and this is not just because of the attractive female
clientele. It has gone downhill a tiny bit from its origins
but don’t be deterred. Many a drunken night spent here
and the music is soul. Sit outside in Concert Square on a sunny
day and enjoy the view. Two for one cocktails on certain days.
We have seen impromptu break dancing comps here on more than
one occasion and that’s incentive enough to go. Did I
mention the women?
Tipple:-
Stella fella.
Baa Bar:-
http://www.worldsbestbars.com/city/Liverpool/BaaBar.asp
Mostly
cheesy music but we don’t mind a bit of that now and then.
The reasons to go to this place are the girls (who tend to be
where the cheese is) and the cheap cheap drinks. Get a bottle
and a shooter and get lots of change. This isn’t a place
to stay all night its strictly a stepping stone for us, but
if you enjoy the music then by all means stay til 2 its good
enough for a cheap and cheerful night. Unisex bogs.
Tipple:-
Shooters, about a million different ones and they are seriously
cheap.
Prohibition:-

This
place is great for meeting up with everyone, located right next
to Central Station. Since the Living Room folk took over it,
it has become a nice place to be again (Life Café sucked.)
but move on quickly unless you have a large Swiss bank reserve.
It’s a bit spendy.
Tipple:-
Water if you stay too long.
Jacaranda:-

Ignore
the Beatles memorabilia if its not your thing, this place is
great. We love it the above reviewer thinks its ok, find out
for yourself. Each of the three floors has a juke box with brilliant
songs to choose from, although when its busy you might expect
to hear your tunes the next day (But that’s a good excuse
to go for an afternoon pint). Downstairs you will find live
music and Open Mic nights where I have heard some incredibly
talented unknowns play their heart out. Open til 2am.
Tipple:-
Beer is run of the mill but you should be drunk before midnight.
