Things to do and see in Liverpool?

[sojourner]

I went to see the Gormley statues with an ex girfriend one freezing febuary day.

Her surname was Gormley as well. What are the chances of that?



Fond memories

I really, really wish I'd just happened upon them, without knowing they were there in the first place. They're great, but it would be been greaterererer to just be surprised

 

[dr.greenthumb]

I think it was christmas 2005 when I went to see them as well!



There is a lovely Art Gallery just off the big square at Lime Street.

One of my favourites in fact.

yeah thats the walker. the museum's right by that and queen's square where theres loads of nice bars n cafés

 

[Miss-Shelf]

even i heard of purple aki !

foamy i'm in liverpool over christmas - pm if you're there

go down lark lane - been a long time since i was there - sojourner is it still work a wander?

don't go to the beetles museum

cathedrals? pubs - always good. its small enough to walk around a lot together at top of bold street and all the back streets up to phil pub and china town

 

[machine cat]

As mentioned above the phil (phillamonic) pub is worth going to. It's on the corner of Hardman Street and Hope Street right inbetwen the two cathedrals.

Although i've never been, i've heard that the Williamson tunnels on Edge Lane are quite good

 

[Hi-ASL]

You could go and see purple aki for a cream tea.

we're staying at the crowne plaza (?!) 28th - 30th december.

Any recommendations of seriously fancy posh places to eat (any genre of food, we aint fussy!)

thanks all who've suggested stuff to do.
Sojourner - did you go to the tate yet?

Nah, not yet - got sidetracked. Am now thinking of going in Jan just before it finishes


I don't know any fancy posh places to eat btw

 

[ethel]

there's a new fancy bar/restaurant right beside the tate. it has a circus theme. can't remember the name though

Sapporo Teppanyaki is good.

 

[ethel]

As a general rule, don't eat in your Hotels restaurant.

 

[foamy]

will do! we're staying there as it was buy one night get one free so we went for that one over the Adelphi () we'll see if that was a wise choice

i have no idea! it's owned by the same people who own korovo (sp?)

 

[Miss-Shelf]

theres a posh place in hope street in between the cathedrals near to LIPA(Liverpool institute,,) building

its something to do with coach and horses - maybe royal carriage works
its where my sister goes when she wants to eat well

 

[miss direct]

teppenyaki place is a lot of fun, I went there and had lobster and cocktails.

Eddie Rockets is good too, it's an American 50s style diner.

 

[soulman]

Have a wander along Hope Street

[LM17]

For fancy eateries there's the London Carriage Works (Hope Street, near the Philharmonic) or Alma de Cuba (Seel St). Alma de Cuba has an amazing interior - it's in a converted church and you can sit on the altar having a pint but it does tend to fill up with posers later in the evenings

e2a: Only thing I've heard about Eddie Rocket's is that the music is good, food is crap!

 

[winterinmoscow]

Quinneys Caribbean restaurant in the middle of Liverpool is one of the best places I have ever eaten. It's really cheap. The people who run it are fantastic and the food is out of this world. City Centre, can't recommend highly enough

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but my question is the same - what is there to see & do in Liverpool but in 2017 rather than 2007! I'm here for the weekend

The curious Pyramidal tomb of William Mackenzie in Liverpool

Billy Fury remembered by Liverpool docks sculpture

In general, the former docks is pretty good - there's loads of museums and art galleries to take in, despite its touristness. It's a great walking city anywhere so I'd just head off and stroll where the fancy takes you.
