Liverpool - steak-house, music-bar

There is no place in St Petersburg quite like the Liverpool Bar. Since its opening in the mid-90s, the Liverpool has become a mecca for musicians, music-lovers, and of course Beatlemania-sufferers at all stages of that glorious, lifelong affliction. Today, the Liverpool remains one of the city's finest music-bars, with live performances every single night from the ridiculously talented local bands which Russia's cultural capital is lucky enough to be able to draw on. Music may be the food of love (love, me do), but the Liverpool is more than happy to provide for your other, perhaps less romantic needs: a wide selection of beers and ales from near and far, and more wines and spirits than you can shake a drumstick at. And to soak up all that refreshment, dive straight into a bar menu that suits all tastes and appetites. Above all, for all its illustrious history and a guest list including some of the most famous music acts of the modern era (including Ringo Starr, since you're asking), the Liverpool is and will always be a pub: a place where you can just as easily drop in for a quick beer and a chat as carouse, dance and sing into the small hours. So if you're in central St Petersburg, pop in and say hello, no need to book unless you specifically want to sit at the same table that the Scorpions once occupied. Actually, we get quite busy in the evenings, so definitely book ahead.
