Saturdays will be an all-day Disco Garden Party with DJs, live music, cocktails and small plates, Thursdays has classics from the icons in Discography and Fridays are Out of the Office and Into the Garden, with funk, soul and disco from 5pm.

Bridewell

The Bridewell was named CAMRA Pub of the Year for 2022 and it’s just been shortlisted for the Great British Pub Awards, which are like the pub Oscars, so it’s already been a very decent year for one of Liverpool’s most unique and friendly places. Find out for yourself and enjoy a great choice of craft and continental beers, gins and ciders in and around the front courtyard of the old Victoria prison. 

Alma De Cuba

Alma De Cuba is one of Liverpool’s most iconic venues and it’s just opened the doors to its brand new sun terrace over-looking sunny Seel Street. There’s a new Cuban-inspired food menu to tuck into and some very sexy looking cocktails being served up too. Music is on outside until 8pm and the good times will be flowing all summer long!

Roxy Ball Room terrace

Inside it’s all about the booze and ball games, made for dates and mates – pool, shuffleboard, beer pong and ping pong – but now the weather’s nice Roxy Hanover Street’s got a little gem of a roof terrace too with plenty of outdoor seating so you can sit in the sunshine and work your way through a menu of signature and classic cocktails – top tip, the Ping Star Martinis are the ones to go for.

Riva Blu

On the absolute sun trap corner of Castle Street and Dale Street, what was Gino’s is now Riva Blu and it’s the most gorgeous spot for drinks and food when it’s hot. Get out under the big black parasols and then it’s Aperol Spritzes and lovely Italian food, maybe some sharing boards, bruschetta and antipasti, all the way until sunset – plus it’s a great place if you love a bit of people watching.

Zenn

A new roof terrace to add to your list, Zenn on Victoria Street is a beautiful go-to for Pan Asian dishes, tempura and sushi, late night drinks and dancing. Over summer until 10pm its Zenn garden and rooftop bar is the place to go for iced coffees, cocktails, sake sharers and wine coolers plus tunes from resident DJs and an all-day BBQ menu which is perfect for filling up a table to share in the sunshine.

Aether, Liverpool ONE

If you’re doing some shopping or going out around Liverpool ONE then Chavasse Park is always going to be your best bet for a lovely outdoor space and Aether couldn’t be better placed, overlooking all that green which just screams sunbathing. There’s a dedicated spritz menu for the terrace including a caipirinha one if all these super-high temperatures have got you feeling a bit Rio carnival.

Madre, Albert Dock

There are so many fantastic places to eat and drink outside at the dock, but Madre is definitely right up there at the top for its lovely enclosed courtyard space with lots of umbrellas to you give you some shade when it’s a scorcher. Never mind drawing the curtains, we reckon margaritas, tacos, guac and chips and ice cold beers are the best way to keep your cool.

Hilton terrace

It feels like you’re watching the world go by with a drink in your hand when you’re sitting out under the trees on the pretty outdoor terrace at the Hilton in Liverpool ONE. The Hilton’s teamed up this summer with Love Lane Brewery and The Botanist Gin to create something special, including a dedicated gin cocktail list, a menu of bar bites to share and live music at weekends.

Nova Scotia on Mann Island

In a historic location celebrating the city’s maritime past, the latest venue from the team behind Ma Boyle’s and Tempest on Tithebarn, Nova Scotia on Mann Island is in a prime sun-soaked place right by the waterfront. Close to the Museum of Liverpool and the Three Graces, it’s got an all-day menu from breakfasts through to evening and a great selection of drinks and signature cocktails.

Papillon

On the Toxteth Riviera, next door to the equally gorgeous Quarter, you’ll find Papillon on the corner of Falkner Street and Hope Street.

PINS Social Club

If you want more than just drinks on a rooftop session then PINS on Duke Street is one to try.
