Pub · Liverpool
A Beatles-themed spot on Mathew Street where statues of the band greet you at the door — enough of a novelty that children usually stop to look before you've found a table. The room is big and modern with real space between tables, so a pram isn't a problem, and there are high chairs and a kids' menu if you need them. Daytime is the window to come: live music runs through the afternoon, and drinks are fair for the city centre — one group counted two Coronas, a Guinness and a cider for £16.50. By evening it turns firmly into a night-out pub, loud and busy, with prices that climb later on and a door policy on trainers and joggers that isn't clearly signposted. Outdoor seating helps if the noise gets much.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
