There were a few things though, I have respiratory problems and the stairs were a struggle and I'm not sure there was a disabled access, if there was I didn't see it. Also drinks were served in plastic tumblers and staff were seen piling the empties into buckets and dragged along the ground which for me didn't seem very classy but I don't think it's meant to be a classy place just a good place for a few drinks and some live music.

Well, the reason I went inside and ordered a beer was simply because I thought the name was pretty cool, until I realised that it was because there used to be a slaughterhouse in the area. Yeah, it isn't too bad a pub, but it didn't really jump out at me as some of them have. Yeah, it's nice, but there are no doubt much better ones in the area.

You see, I wanted to go and have a beer at the Cavern Club, and discovered that I had ended up walking into the Cavern Pub, which is the sister pub, but not quite the same one (though I believe that the original one is no longer there). Still, this place isn't bad, and you don't have to pay to go inside, which is cool. They also have regular bands, though these bands pretty much play Beatles covers. Oh, and you aren't out of place if you happen to be wearing a Beatles t-shirt (as I happened to be doing at the time).

They are well known for their bizarre themed nights that they put on either once a month or once every six weeks. These nights are so popular they often sell out within a day and are they hype of the week as they approach. They often have live bands and a great fancy dress theme, and it's a well known fact that people really make a big effort and go all out for these occasions. Other than these nights, the best promoters in the city seem to bring quirky bands from all over the world to play this fairly small venue as it has a great atmosphere that a lot of the bigger venues don't have!

The Kazimier is easily Liverpool's top venue for gigs and events. I have been coming here since it…read moreopened and have always had a great time. You get a varied mixture of bands playing here, from local legends and newbies all the way up to reknowed international acts. Most recently the Liverpool label Antipop put on their birthday event and it was the best night out in... forever. The old montly Psycho Motel night that was on here in the past is now a part of legend. There is a decent variety of drinks to choose from and while it's not the cheapest, it's not ridiculous either. Perfectly resonable! For you lot who smoke (poor you) there's an outdoor area with seating for you to puff away. It's good for non-smokers too to be honest, if you just want to get some air. The Kazimier, along with Mello Mello, is the musical hub of Liverpool and somewhere you should be spending the majority of your time. Absolutely essential venue that you CANNOT miss out on.

The Zanzibar is one of my favourite small venues in Liverpool. It is one of the few venues that…read moredoes not over charge for drinks at the bar. The Zanzibar is air conditioned, which is great during summer. It is a small venue but has plenty of room for standing to watch a gig, with large tables for resting your drinks on. It also has a raised seating area with lots of comfy seats, tables and stools where you can hang out to watch the bands. The sound always seems to be excellent in the Zanzibar. So often at venues the sound can take a few songs to get right, but the sound technicians here really do give the impression that they pay attention in sound checks and they get it right. The lighting is good but fairly basic, but as this is only a small venue too much would be inappropriate. The stage area is small and is on ground level rather than being raised, but it sort of gives the impression of a more intimate environment for a gig. The toilets are not the nicest. They are pretty basic and in need of a refurb, but I've seen a hell of a lot worse. The bar staff are very friendly and once you have been to the bar a couple of times they remember what you have been ordering and ask if that's what you want again. They make you feel very welcome. This is an excellent inexpensive venue.

How times have changed. By that I don't mean I've matured, I just mean I hardly go there anymore, which is a shame. The Zanzibar is the ideal place to crawl into to get your fix of forgettable support bands and chord-striking gems. Grimy and tattered inside, the venue is cripplingly dark for two reasons- atmosphere and hiding the state of the place. God knows what the walls look like but despite this, I think history will look back on this place fondly, and not just for those UV lights.

Throw in a good selection of lagers, ales and guests like Ilkley brewery this place ticked all the boxes for me :-) Supposedly the DJ's they have in here regularly are pretty good too!

Anyone who is familiar with the excellent Bungalows and Bears of Sheffield will not be surprised with The Shipping Forecast as the same group has brought their stripped down ethos of good beer, good music and comfy surroundings to Liverpool. The music is as eclectic as the shabby chic interior and can give Mello Mello a run for its money. The guys here have torn away any reminder of the venues Flares past to reveal lovely bare brick walls and wooden floors giving the place a very natural feel. Ale drinkers will be pleased too - which might come in handy situated on Slater Street - as there is a good selection of beers on draught. Me and me mate got some food here too, and while I do not wish to say anything bad about somewhere so new, when I order Fish n Chips, I expect chips not fries - it's just not cricket. Danny on the other hand was very pleased with his steak and ale pie - once he battled through the crust. It's good pub grub, with a good choice of burgers and sandwiches all reasonably priced under 7 with chips. It could be a very brave move to set up camp on Slater Street but hopefully it is a sign of things to come. With Santa Chupito and Mello down the road we could be seeing a new scene emerging but first TSF must hold its own against Slater's more traditional elements.
