مطعم ومقهى الريم Reem Lounge

You'll find yourself on Madison Square in the city centre, walking into something that feels like a proper escape from the Liverpool drizzle. Reem Lounge does that thing brilliantly—it's a place where you can nurse a coffee during the day or come evening, sink into one of those low seats with mates and a shisha, watching the smoke curl up while decent Arabic food arrives at your table. The vibe here is genuinely relaxed; locals come back because it doesn't feel like a tourist trap trying too hard, just a solid neighbourhood spot that happens to be smack in the middle of town.
