Be At One Liverpool Victoria

You'll find this spot tucked on N John Street doing what the Be At One chain does best – serving cocktails that taste like they cost twice the price in a space that buzzes without trying too hard. The bartenders know their stuff, whether you're after a perfectly balanced whiskey sour or something sweet enough to mask the fact you're three drinks deep on a Tuesday. The mixing masterclasses are genuinely worth your time if you're into that sort of thing, and the weekend crowds prove this place has found its groove in Liverpool's drinking scene. It's reliably good rather than groundbreaking, which is exactly what you want when you're meeting mates after work or need somewhere that won't judge your cocktail choices.
