Wildwood Liverpool

Celebrate your birthday in the heart of the city centre at Wildwood. Whether you're looking to gather the whole family in the private hire dining room or fancy eating Italian fare and quaffing wine with pals, this venue is a real winner for all-important events.

Dorothy's Diner Liverpool

Dorothy's Diner on Victoria Street is an absolute hoot when it comes to feasting and drinking - it even turns into a disco extravaganza after 8pm. Pretty and pink, its aesthetic is of an American-style diner injected with Barbie magic. Visit for delicious fare like chilli dog cheese fries and slutty brownie desserts and sip on quirky cocktails like the gin-based On Wednesday's We Wear Pink! It's the ultimate spot to celebrate a birthday, with its VIP room available to book for up to 20 friends and plenty of opportunities to brunch. 

Manolo

In need of those all-important birthday plans? Manolo has got you sorted. Not only is this Slater Street speakeasy touting sultry vibes and plenty of space for those celebrations, but it also has a fabulous drinks list inspired by some tropical Caribbean flavours.

Masons

Whether you're in the market for a birthday bottomless brunch or an evening meal, Mason's Kitchen and Bar is the Seel Street spot that has your back in the fun department. Fill up on the likes of katsu curry and miso cod, all while swilling down cocktails or listening to the Friday night saxophonists.

PanAm

Sitting pretty in the Britannia Pavilion in the Albert Dock, PanAm is a gorgeous destination for your birthday bonanza. In the daytime the warehouse venue is flooded with light from its floor-to-ceiling windows, becoming a cosy and intimate space as dusk falls. Kick off the evening with one of their delicious signature grill dishes before getting lost in their extensive cocktail menu.

Salt House Tapas

Salt House Tapas are known for their Spanish-style small plates - perfect for sharing amongst friends. This Hanover Street restaurant has a buzzing atmosphere over the weekends when jugs of sangria flow and large groups tuck into family-style banquets made from the freshest local ingredients. 

Panoramic 34

Located on the 34th floor of the glistening West Tower, Panoramic 34 offers a unique dining experience. If you're not the one footing the bill then we suggest you opt for the luxurious eight-course tasting menu, or if you're after something lighter, go for their afternoon tea option, all whilst enjoying stunning views over Liverpool's skyline.

Dash

Pretty in pink and with glittering lights, Dash is one of Liverpool's most beautiful restaurants. Expect Pan-Asian delights, from sushi rolls and bao buns to wagyu burgers. Finish your night by taking to the tiles at neighbouring XOXO - all documented on the 'gram of course, this place is too pretty to not.

Pilgrim

This Duke Street Market spot is a tribute to the ancient pilgrimage to Galicia's Santiago de Compostela and the dishes are inspired by various regions in France, Spain and Portugal. The contemporary space features a mezzanine bar and open kitchen, perfect for peeking at the chefs at work.
