Detailed itinerary

With a Local Host, on a personalized experience, embark on a feast around Liverpool, eating and drinking like the locals do as you sip craft beer or maybe a cocktail or two, and try the dishes which have been the city’s favorites for decades as well as more recent additions to Liverpool’s food scene. The experience will be totally tailored to you, but here are a few of our suggestions!

Explore the historic Georgian Quarter, where you’ll find beautiful Georgian terraces and a unique watering hole on every street. With some of the oldest pubs in the city, this neighborhood is packed with charming courtyards and beer gardens, sophisticated bars in Georgian townhouses, some very eccentric watering holes with quirky decor, and homey pubs where you’ll find traditional food and real ales.

Take your pick from the welcoming watering holes in the Georgian Quarter, or let your Local Host recommend a spot that will suit your tastes. Along with your beer, enjoy a plate of classic British pub snacks, or indulge in a traditional local dish called Scouse, a hearty stew which goes brilliantly with a pint of real ale! Or you could stop by the Cali, a traditional pub which is something of an institution and community hub, but one which has updated its menu to be completely vegan!

Explore the pubs and night lights along the waterfront.
