Futurist

You'll walk into Futurist and immediately clock the obsessive attention to detail—this isn't some half-hearted renovation job. The 1920s art deco bones are all there: the tiled floors, the ornate plasterwork, the sense that you've stepped into Liverpool's golden age. It's the kind of place that makes you actually look up from your phone. The crowd's mixed—locals propping up the bar, groups gathering for birthday drinks, couples tucking into booths. Food-wise, it's classic pub fare done right, not trying to be something it's not. The drinks list leans into proper ales and spirits, and staff clearly know what they're doing.
