About the restaurant
Join us this December at Gaucho, where we’ll be serving up festive dishes and drinks with an Argentinian twist, perfect for corporate celebrations, Christmas parties and family gatherings!

Located in a stunning Grade II listed building that was once a bank, Gaucho Liverpool combines the charm of its original features—such as marble pillars and soaring high ceilings—with sophisticated interiors inspired by modern Argentina.

The restaurant also boasts a striking bar, complete with a stage for late-night entertainment. For those seeking a more intimate experience, there are two private dining rooms, each featuring unique touches like a marbled fireplace. Additionally, our exclusive Beef Bar offers a one-of-a-kind counter-dining experience, where guests can indulge in a multi-course beef tasting menu, prepared by their very own chef, and paired with exceptional wines.

Stanley’s Bar and Grill at the Titanic Hotel is the place you want to be! A place you want to meet with friends and family, a place for business or just to relax.

Open kitchens allow you to watch a team who just love preparing your food, however this is not pretentious dining In Stanley’s bar and Grill service is about a smile, whether family dining at the big table or time out on the terrace with a table for one you get to choose. This is the life we have created at Stanley’s and we invite you to join us.

Never felt so compelled to leave a positive review. Wow. Everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was pure perfection. The live music courtesy from Victoria Sharpe was brilliant as well. I did appreciate however that it didn’t start until about half way through our date so we could focus more on the food, drinks, and conversation. So only advice would be find out when the live music begins and arrange so you get there before. Still don’t miss it though because it really adds to the experience. Can’t wait it come back!

If your preferred date or time not available, please call us on 0151 832 4517 or email us on liverpoolskybar@ginorestaurants.com and one of our team will try everything possible to accommodate your preferred date and time.

Located on the 18th floor of INNSiDE by Meliá, Sky Bar and Sky Bar Terrace are two of Liverpool’s most coveted venues. Combining world-class cocktails with unrivalled views of the city’s skyline, the exclusive restaurant and bars deliver an unforgettable experience.

Soak up the sun along with the incredible scenery at the newly opened Sky Bar Terrace. Suspended over 270 feet above the ground, the contemporary terrace is the highest alfresco bar in Liverpool and unquestionably the chicest spot from which to watch the setting sun.
When the night draws in along with the weather, the drinks continue to flow at Sky Bar. Here guests can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Liverpool and beyond, with the venue’s resident DJs playing long into the night.

Real Italian food, as it should be!

It’s a beautiful modern open plan restaurant with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Old Hall Street. Talking of skylines, you have to visit 360 Sky Bar on the top floor, it’s a huge contemporary terrace which has unrivalled views over Liverpool and the River Mersey, I can’t wait for you to see it.

Serving real Italian food as it should be, the menu really does have something for everyone. Check out my new lounge bar as well, it serves one of the biggest selections of Prosecco, sparkling wine and Franciacorta in the UK, with over 30 varieties for you to choose from. Pop by for a drink after work or enjoy one or two while you dine, the choice is yours.

Buon Appetito.
