Now a little one for those of you with a more refined taste, who want to avoid the potentially lary weekend crowd. The Pen Factory is Hope Streets relaxed Bistro and Bar, found next to the Everyman Theatre. That does mean its a frequent for the theatre crowd, but, when the suns out, this cosy place becomes host to a crowd of people who are after that more relaxed pint (one might say sophisticated). It's absolutely gorgeous and the food, served from its theatrical open kitchen, is divine, and well worth a visit for that alone.
Whilst this may not be the most traditional of Liverpool beer gardens, it certainly provides something that the others don't, and with an excellent range of cask ales, continental lagers and wines, what can go wrong?

Last, but certainly not least is The Kazimier Garden, a beautiful outdoor space belonging to the iconic Liverpudlian music venue the Kazimier. It's one of the most popular beer gardens once the sun starts shining, which means they operate a 'one-in-one-out' policy to make sure overcrowding never spoils the chilled, easy-going atmosphere. The beer garden itself is an inner-city slice of old times, with wooden everything and a sawdust floor, it can sometimes feel a bit like a western (just without the proper f****** shootouts).
Kazimier Garden just knows what's up, with a wide range of beer and a reputation for great live music, it should be on everyone's to-visit list, you don't know what you're missing out on (just make sure to get there early so you don't actually miss out.)
