The best bars in Liverpool to visit during the Eras Tour

The Taylor Swift Eras Tour isn't far off now - and hasn't that come around quickly?! Liverpool is going to be full of girls gays n theys living their BEST lives, and I hope you all have a fantastic time. With that in mind I wanted to share some of the best bars in Liverpool to visit if you're coming from further afield for the Eras Tour Liverpool version - so you can better plan your trip to this incredible city.

Cocktail bars in Liverpool to visit during the Eras Tour

If cocktails are your jam, then you'll be spoilt for choice when choosing bars in Liverpool to visit during the Eras Tour. There's plenty, and I've personally been to a fair few of them!

๐Ÿน Slug & Lettuce, North John Street - 2 for 1 on matching cocktails (drink trees available)

๐Ÿน Revolucion de Cuba, Albert Dock - 2 for 1 cocktails during happy hour (3-7pm, Mon-Fri)

๐Ÿน Down the Hatch, Duke Street - 2 for £14 cocktails (completely veggie/vegan food & drink)

๐Ÿน Tonight Josephine, Hanover Street - 2 for 1 cocktails during happy hour (Sun-Fri 'til 8pm)

๐Ÿน La Finca Eivissa, Back Colquitt Street - 2 matching cocktails or gins for £15 (Sun-Thurs)

Pubs

Sometimes a traditional pub is more of what you need - quiet but still with some sort of atmosphere. Here are the ones I would highly recommend!

๐Ÿบ Ship & Mitre, Dale Street - beers from across the world, small but cosy, excellent food

๐Ÿบ Lady of Mann, Dale Street - standard pub, big outdoor space

๐Ÿบ The Vines/Big House, Lime Street - recently refurbished, really traditional pub

You can also do yourself a bit of a pub crawl, starting at the 'top of the hill' (Egerton Street) and making your way down to Bold Street where you hit the proper city centre. The pubs you can visit are, in order:

๐Ÿ“Peter Kavanagh's
๐Ÿ“The Blackburne Arms
๐Ÿ“The Caledonia
๐Ÿ“The Philharmonic Dining Rooms
๐Ÿ“Ye Cracke
๐Ÿ“The Pilgrim
๐Ÿ“The Fly in the Loaf
๐Ÿ“Roscoe Head
๐Ÿ“The Grapes
๐Ÿ“The Dispensary

All of these are really iconic Scouse pubs that can't be missed - for example, the Philharmonic is said to have the most stunning (mens') toilets ever, while Ye Cracke is where John Lennon used to drink. The more you know!

Themed bars in Liverpool to visit during the Eras Tour

I absolutely LOVE a themed bar, and Liverpool has a few good ones. Some are much quieter, while others will be absolutely bouncing!

๐Ÿ”จ Little Hardware, Cropper Street - DIY themed speakeasy, calm and cosy vibes

๐Ÿ’‹ Coyote Ugly Saloon, Bold Street - yes, they dance on the bar...

๐Ÿ˜† Only Fools Bar, Seel Street - Only Fools & Horses themed bar/pub with a large drinks menu and plenty of photo opportunities

๐Ÿช„ The Oracle, Duke Street - cocktails, magicians & more!

๐ŸŸ  Alcotraz, Seel St - fun prison themed bar, sneak your own alcohol in, can dress up

Karaoke bars in Liverpool to visit during the Eras Tour

The city is, of course, awash with karaoke bars. I know you'll be singing your heart our to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together but if that's not enough, here are some of the city's best bars in Liverpool to visit during the Eras Tour for karaoke!

๐ŸŽค Woody's Sports and Karaoke Bar - karaoke every night from 5pm, open til 4am daily

๐ŸŽค The Grapes, Matthew Street - karaoke every evening, £2 beers during happy hour 

๐ŸŽค Cooper's Townhouse, Cases Street - karaoke every day, and it gets VERY busy

๐ŸŽค Ava's Bar, Renshaw Street - karaoke at weekends, modern vibes

Outdoor/roof terraces

Hopefully Ms. Swift will bring the sunshine with her and the weather will be absolutely gorgeous around the time of the Eras Tour in Liverpool, so it makes sense for me to include some of the best roof terraces and outdoor bars in Liverpool!

๐ŸŒž 30 James St, James Street - right by the station, stunning views, lovely cocktails

๐ŸŒž Zenn, Victoria Street - Asian inspired menu, gorgeous atmosphere

๐ŸŒž Libertรฉ Sky Garden, Brunswick Street - voted in the top 25 rooftops in Europe, breathtaking views

๐ŸŽณ PINS Social Club, Duke Street - bowling lanes, food, cocktails, games & more

๐Ÿธ Liverpool Gin Distillery, Castle Street - really classy, huge range of gin (I have been here and can confirm it's lovely)
