Dog & Collar on Hope Street

The amazing decorations alone outside this Hope Street venue will get you feeling all festive, with Santa surrounded by a twinkling garland fest and cascade of beautifully wrapped pressies. It’s sparkling just as much with fabulous decorations inside, it’s got drink and food options galore – the Christmas menu is fab – for its private dining room and tavern, and the taproom’s even open on Christmas Day for drinks.

The Pen Factory

Further along Hope Street, if Fiona and Dominic’s warm welcome isn’t enough to get the seasonal spirit cracking, the dazzling deccies and the festive menu will. Starters include chilli and ginger king prawns and honey and cider chorizo, while mains to get your mouth watering feature Cornish hake, smoked chicken supreme and spiced 8oz lamb rump – and loads of delish desserts.

Bar Hutte in Liverpool ONE

We all love celebrating Après Ski Style at Bar Hütte in Chavasse Park and it’s there until December 31. Cosying up in Liverpool ONE’s alpine haven means enjoying its Karaoke Huttes and Party Lodges where you can join friends and family to belt out those festive favourites while sipping on Gluhwein and the mountain classic, Bombardino; there are wreath-making classes, special visits from Santa Claus, and an after-school club – and for your furry pal there’s Bark Hutte with complimentary dog treats.
