I'm not sure whether to go as far as calling this one of those hip cafes, but then again I am in…read moreEngland, and what I get here isn't necessarily going to be the same as what I would get in Australia. However, this place wasn't all that bad, though it is more like one of those cafes that you tend to find in the city than elsewhere (though you do find some pretty good ones in the city). However, I did really like this place, the service was pretty good, as was the pot of tea I got. The only thing that disappointed me was that they used ham for the eggs benedict as opposed to bacon.

Popped in here on Saturday whilst out shopping with my Mum and was very surprised to see how busy…read moreit was...and how much it's grown since last time I visited there a number of years back! It was absolutely chock full of very happy looking customers and there was a whole lovely new back room that I'm pretty sure wasn't there last time I was. The service was speedy despite the long queue and the staff friendly despite how busy they clearly were. The decor is lovely, my favourite elements being the giant chandelier and the vintage piano. The atmosphere was really pleasant; the overall vibe of the place manages to convey cool classiness and warmth at the same time. Although the bread of the mozzarella and chorizo panino I ordered was a little floppy and the chorizo a bit a bit too chewy it was tasty nevertheless and the tea I ordered was just right (and with me being such a tea fan you don't often hear me say that!). The cakes looked delicious as well...wish I'd had room for a slice! Will definitely be saving space for the chocolate and Guiness next time! I'm very glad I've rediscovered this hidden gem above Lord Street and will definitely not be leaving so long till my next visit this time.

Whatever your choice of wine, this branch of Oddbins has a great selection of European, English and New World wines. Prices range from £7-£15 for a great bottle of red, white or rose but they usually have special offers on for around a fiver too. The staff are friendly and knowledgable and more than happy to recommend new wines if you're looking for something fruity, spicy, dry or sweet. They also have regular tastings on Saturday afternoons where you can sample new lines. The reason I've given it an extra star is simple: last time I popped in they were playing a classic Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra album. How many other off licenses offer customers sublime wine and sublime music? My point exactly!

They really do know everything about wine.. Inside out. I know nothing about wine, and this is obvious, but they never make you feel silly or patronised! Instead they put everything in layman's terms to help you find the right wine for your meal or occasion. They can even recommend a wine to suit whatever you're planning to cook for your dinner. They have a huge selection of different wines and their prices range from about £5.99 up to £50+ Well worth a look and getting a nice bottle or red for a treat, a present or a special occasion!

Swift Drinks offers 24 hr booze supply for those who just don't know when enough is enough and God bless them for it. The saviour of many a Saturday night/Sunday Morning when town just isn't enough for a good time! What can I say there is often a grizzled, goblin-like man in a glass booth despatching drink and fags to people with a menacing, bitter quality because, well they're trapped behind a glass booth and you're all partying til the early hours.

It's pretty much an all night off licence, fashioned a little bit like an Australian bottle shop! Keep your wits about you when you buy from here though as sometimes weird characters hang around this place in the middle of the night. A friend of mine almost got mugged walking away from this place with a crate of beer; luckily he managed to get to a black cab in good time! This place sells beers, cigarettes, wines, and spirits throughout the night and is very reasonable priced considering! They also sell condoms, if you're caught short on the way home from a club with someone you've picked up! They sell loads of snacks too! Crisps, chocolate, sweets etc! Great for those with the munchies in the middle if the night! Your can get a can of Fosters for £1.10, and I think this is the cheapest beer they sell. Just look out for pissed people after a kick off in this area late at night!

The name Euro Wines makes it sound as though it would stock and sell a selection of fine alcoholic…read morebeverages from across Europe but this is really not the case if I am going to be honest. This place has nothing distinctive about it all so there is no real reason to go here as opposed to any other off licence or supermarket. The outside doesn't look particularly appealing and inside the place is fairly plain and I would be lying if I said there was anything inside which really caught my eye. Obviously as a student I have always been keen to look for cheap booze and as such I have visited a lot of off licences and this one did not really stick out in my mind at all. The name seems to suggest a lot more than the place actually delivers and as such I found this place to be a real let down.

Adjacent to Liverpool's China Town is this handy convenience store. Euro Wines not only stocks a…read morenice variety of booze and a good few groceries, because of its proximity to Merseyside's Oriental capital it has a few surprises too, such as Chinese ingredients, unusual vegetables and plenty of noodles. As well as wines you'll find a vast array of spirits here and beers too, and the staff have always been friendly and pleasant when I've popped in. All in all it gives weight to the term 'convenience' with its handy location for a lot of nearby urban dwellers and those potentially heading into China Town.

Wine Cross is your average off licence but with less friendly customer care and service. There are…read morenot really any deals in this place which would drag you away from the supermarket and the actual variety of booze is nothing special either. The staff here don't seem to bothered about the customers and any requests are normally dealt with at a snail's pace followed by the rude questioning of how old you are. The decor is a bit tacky and I have never really felt comfortable inside the store and this is not good at all when you are attempting to peruse the stock. There are thousands of off licences you could visit so to compete you have to stand out and this establishment simply does not at all. On the whole a below par store with poor customer service and a limited range of alcoholic beverages so if I were you I'd pop to bargain booze instead.
