Liverpool Noob... live venues, where not to eat, etc?

[NickD]

So we're off to the Drum Show at the weekend (and I hear there's a show covering both flavours of guitar next door too).

 

I honestly don't think I've ever been to the City as an adult. We're heading up Friday evening, staying quite near the Cavern for a couple of nights, and would be interested in any local band type venues nearby, Jazz, Rock, Reggae, whatever, it's all good.

 

Any other advice on eating/drinking places, or must see things would be great too.

 

TIA

If you’re into Indian cuisine I can heartily recommend Mowgli Street Food. They have a place on Water Street not far from The Cavern ( and another restaurant in the city too ). Wonderful food and not overly expensive.

As it happens, I am... and 3 minutes walk from the Hotel!

Thanks a lot

If you get a  chance pop into the Cavern Bar ( down stairs) and you can catch the Amazing Kappa band on Saturday from 5 pm till 10 pm. 3 piece band covering music from the 50s to really modern stuff.

Paul Kappa is an absolute guitar Monster and Maria is mean bass player too.

The place is always rocking when their on.

It's just next to the John Lennon statue

Thanks!

We're just round the corner from the Cavern and had intended to visit, but a band recommendation makes it even better. We've booked for lunch at Mowgli, as recommended by @casapete... No chance of a dinner booking.

Tate modern is worth a visit. There’s a few eateries and coffee places around there too.

Definitely on the list if the shows are rubbish. 🤣

Make sure you have the Chat Bombs at Mowgli

Cheers!

 

I'd already made a mental note of them based on the description on the website.

Almost Famous do great burgers and fries.

Tidy, that's between the show and the hotel!

Maray looks cool, might have to have a look at that. Dinner bookings are already on a standby list though.
