Petit Café Du Coin

You walk down Berry Street and suddenly there's this sliver of Paris wedged between Liverpool's Georgian buildings. The kind of place where you pop in for one glass of wine and somehow end up three cocktails deep, debating whether that cheese board counts as dinner (it does). The bartenders here know their stuff – none of that showy nonsense, just well-made drinks in a room that feels like it's been lifted straight from Montmartre. Those afternoon starts are dangerous territory, especially when the weekend crowd rolls in and the whole place buzzes with that perfect pre-dinner energy. The cheese boards aren't an afterthought either; they're doing proper French selections that pair beautifully with whatever's in your glass.
