 1. Explore Liverpool City Centre

Stroll down Bold Street, one of our favourite areas for quirky cafés, vintage shops, and independent stores. Grab a specialty coffee from Bold Street Coffee, pop into Utility for unique homeware and gifts, or grab a bite at Maray, a Kabannas go-to for small plates and cocktails.


For a more mainstream shopping fix, head to Liverpool ONE, the city’s sprawling open-air shopping district with over 170 stores, bars, and restaurants. Whether you’re after a new outfit for the night or just fancy browsing in the sunshine, it’s a must for weekend wanderers.


And when you're ready for a break? Chill out with a pint at The Shipping Forecast or catch some fresh air in Chavasse Park, both just a short walk from Kabannas.

3. Enjoy Live Music Venues


Experience Liverpool's vibrant music scene—it’s one of the city’s proudest claims to fame and still thriving today. Start your musical journey at the world-famous Cavern Club, where the spirit of The Beatles lives on through live performances nearly every night of the week. It’s not just a tourist stop—it’s a living, breathing venue with real atmosphere.


For something a little grittier, head over to Jacaranda, a beloved indie spot that’s been supporting emerging talent since the '50s (and was actually founded by The Beatles' first manager). Enjoy live music downstairs and vinyl records upstairs—it’s a Kabannas favourite for a reason. If you’re into jazz, funk, or more experimental sounds, Kazimier Garden is your hidden gem. This open-air venue tucked behind Seel Street has serious summer vibes, craft drinks, and a lineup that’s always fresh and unexpected.


Whether you’re into rock, soul, or something underground, Liverpool’s music venues cater to every taste—and they’re all just a short stroll from Kabannas Liverpool.
