Temperatures are on the up across Merseyside this weekend, cheers to that!

August bank holiday weekend’s don’t get much hotter than this! The mercury is rising across Merseyside and we’ve got an extra day off work. There’s only one thing to do, check out the best outdoor spaces, terraces and beer gardens in Liverpool.

Soaking up the rays with boss company and a nice chilled drink in your hand is what summers are all about, so we’ve put together a handy list of the best outdoor spaces and venues to check out while the sun’s still shining!

Here’s our top Liverpool venues for bevs in the sun…..

The Kaz Gardens, Seel Street

This is one of the city’s hidden gems in our opinion. The word ‘quirky’ is over used nowadays but that word sums up the The Kaz Gardens perfectly. With it’s relaxed atmosphere and unique food & drink menu this is the perfect place to chill in the sunshine. From ice cream floats to cask ales, frozen cocktails and Vietnamese coffees, you simply won’t find another bar menu like it in Liverpool. Add to that the charcoal grill, live music and hipster regulars this is one of the coolest spots in town. Info here.

Grab an outdoor table and dine/drink all day. More here.

The Sefton Arms, West Derby Village

Known locally as The Sefton, this stalwart of West Derby Village has seen some miraculous make overs in recent years, but its huge beer garden has remained one of the best in the city. Pint and the match down The Sefton, yeah go on then! More info here. 

Red Door Eden Rooftop Garden, Berry Street

Red Door Liverpool has firmly cemented itself in the ‘must go’ places on a night out in the city. Friendly and lively bar staff, a stunning cocktail menu and incredible  live music – this bar has added the cool factor to Bury Street.
