The Florist Liverpool

Housed in a former Grade-II listed building, The Florist is a restaurant and bar brought to you by the New World Trading Company. With a grand entrance hall, walls adorned with flowers and commissioned wall art, this is the ultimate spot if you're looking to impress. Choose your gin-based cocktails from the menu that's divided into three: English Summer Garden, Ikebana and Modern Contemporary, and made with herbs picked fresh from the garden.

Ex-Directory

Crack the code at Ex-Directory and get your fill of some of the best gin cocktails in Liverpool. Follow the clues on their website to discover their phone number, and snap up a table quickly as they tend to go fast. Head to the red telephone box and find this hidden hideaway for an boozy afternoon tea or a gin-fuelled evening. Drink your way through the sharers - most of which are gin-based. The Shiny Disco Ball pairs gin with creme de mure, cassis, elderflower, berry liqeurs and a choice of fizz.

 

Berry and Rye

Look no further for the one of the best gin bars in Liverpool. Taking it's name from Berry Street is this clandestine cocktail haven. The mystery begins early, as you head for an unassuming black door. The puzzle doesn't end there as you must find the menu hidden within the pages of a book. If you have a penchant for classic gin cocktails, then you've come to the right place. Whether it's a Martinez or Martini you're after, Berry and Rye can do it all.

Jenever

As the name suggests, this contemporary bar is dedicated to all things gin and jenever. With over 120 varieties of gin to choose from and a strong cocktail selection, it shouldn't be difficult to find something to suit your botanical needs. Find this gem on Hope Street - the only street in the world with a cathedral at either end.

NYL Restaurant and Bar

With a gin-centred brunch that pairs delicious G&Ts with classic eggy staples, NYL Restaurant and Bar's juniper game is on point. Think Valencian orange gin paired with basil tonic, rose petal gin paired with hibiscus and much more.
