It’s quite easy to walk past Berry & Rye, which is hidden on Berry Street in Liverpool, but once you find it, you’ll discover a bar filled with jazz, blues and more gin cocktails than you can shake a stick at.
To get in, knock on the door – which is unnamed – and you’ll be shown through by a doorperson. There’s a restriction on the number of people allowed in, so don’t be too disheartened if you get turned away or are asked to wait. The bar, however, doesn’t take bookings, so it might be a good idea to turn up earlier than planned.
Inside, you’ll find a dim, yet classy, environment waiting in the bar area.
