Best Bars And Lounges in Thornton Hough

This was the first time but definitely not the last time I will be going to the Puffin Rooms in Liverpool. I booked this for a friends 50th as I know he loves whiskey with the tag line that we would both try some different whiskeys we had not tried before (which for me is most of them) and the Puffin Rooms absolutely did not disappoint. I arrive first to a warm and friendly greeting , a cold beer and a lovely chat with the chap behind the bar. When my friend arrived we were shown to some very nice comfy seats for our evening. Food and drink menus were summarily provided and after a couple of mins we were greeted by our whiskey sommelier ( whiskey smith ) . . an incredibly knowledgeable young chap half our age who knows more about whiskey than I could hope to know ( I think his name was Sonny , I apologise if I have goth this wrong ) My full respect and admiration to this young chap, as this was our first time at the Puffin Rooms we put ourselves in his hands and with minimal guidance he picked out one after another after another amazing whiskeys that we have never even heard of each outstanding in its own way. We started light and worked our way up as very respectable ladder of superb whiskeys after the first 3 we ordered a little bit of food from the menu which was provided promptly. Hereafter our tastes diverged and our whiskey smith kept track and continued to provide excellent advice and commentary on separate (very different) whiskeys for us both. We were offered a cigar to go with our drinks at that time and accepted each of us being offered a different type of cigar paired with our chosen whiskey taste path. After a couple more fantastic whiskeys it was time to head home I settles a very acceptable tab, handed our whiskey smith a well deserved tip and bid him a good evening, vowing to return for another such evening in the coming months. My heartfelt thanks to all at the the Puffin Rooms - Liverpool for a fabulous evening

Cressida has done a phenomenal job with Ego Death. The journey down to the bar is a bit of fun and when you enter the bar properly it really feels like you’ve been transported to an intimate and impeccably designed speak easy. You can forget the world you’ve left outside. The team are friendly, inviting and knowledgable. Really impressive. Elliot especially was absolutely fantastic and was happy to chat with us, talk us through the menu and various drinks. The drinks were very well priced and some of the best cocktails my husband and I have ever had. We only meant to stay for one maybe two drinks - we ended up staying for hours. We would highly recommend visiting and we will absolutely be back!
