The Philharmonic Dining Rooms' ornate stone corner building on Hope Street, with gables, turrets and bay windows

Hope Street, Georgian Quarter

Address: 36 Hope Street, Liverpool L1 9BX

Why it's a good date: A drink somewhere this beautiful costs no more than anywhere else. It's across the road from the Philharmonic Hall, so it's the natural place to start a concert night.
