One of the most interesting restaurant bars in Liverpool, The Shipping Forecast doesn't only boast a myriad of spaces - there's craft beer, boss food, live music and sports to boot.
A beaming venue of industrial interiors, bare-brick walls, low hanging steel lamps and re-purposed vintage signage, The Shipping Forecast certainly isn't shipping themed, but it does have a raw and rustic edge. Adding to the main floor that it has, The Shipping Forecast also has a mezzanine 'Top Deck' level which is regularly hired out for private functions, art exhibitions, corporate events and a wide variety of TV screenings as well as a basement space, 'The Hold', for live music, club-nights, private events and more.
Get your regular host of craft beer and draught favourites at The Shipping Forecast alongside a selection of belter burgers - of which come in at 2-4-1 on Tuesdays - and fried chicken, a large range of vegan and vegetarian choices plus creative twists on classic pub meals. Roasts have also made a glorious return each Sunday - book in early to ensure you get a table - and there are lunch and drink offers aplenty throughout the week.
