The best way to really get to know a city is through its food and drink, so join a local to discover Liverpool, it’s craft beer and incredible food! The city’s craft beer scene is booming, you’re never short of places to find a pint and the locals are anything but shy when it comes to enjoying a drink. Throw in some classic British pub snacks and maybe even try the classic local dish of Scouse and you’ve got the recipe for a delicious experience in Liverpool!

    What you'll see and do

    1. Liverpool

      With a Local Host, on a personalized experience, embark on a feast around Liverpool, eating and drinking like the locals do as you sip craft beer or maybe a cocktail or two, and try the dishes which have been the city’s favorites for decades as well as more recent additions to Liverpool’s food scene. The experience will be totally tailored to you, but here are a few of our suggestions!

      Pass by without stopping

    2. Georgian Quarter

      Explore the historic Georgian Quarter, where you’ll find beautiful Georgian terraces and a unique watering hole on every street. With some of the oldest pubs in the city, this neighborhood is packed with charming courtyards and beer gardens, sophisticated bars in Georgian townhouses, some very eccentric watering holes with quirky decor, and homey pubs where you’ll find traditional food and real ales.

      Pass by without stopping

    3. Take your pick from the welcoming watering holes in the Georgian Quarter, or let your Local Host recommend a spot that will suit your tastes. Along with your beer, enjoy a plate of classic British pub snacks, or indulge in a traditional local dish called Scouse, a hearty stew which goes brilliantly with a pint of real ale! Or you could stop by the Cali, a traditional pub which is something of an institution and community hub, but one which has updated its menu to be completely vegan!

      Pass by without stopping

    4. Explore the pubs and night lights along the waterfront.

    Disappointing

    Not what we signed up for. This ended up being a walking tour of Liverpool. Wrong type of guide ...wrong event. He was not someone I would consider a local .... he's only lived in Liverpool for four years The guide had a poor command of English so he was difficult to understand. He was very quiet so we couldn't hear him. There were only three of us so that should not have been an issue. It was supposed to be basically a pub crawl around Liverpool and we went to one restaurant with a craft brewery. We had one drink. The guide didn't drink so had no knowledge of craft brews or anything related to it. We asked for recommendations. None given. He should be guiding Chinese tourist around Liverpool and keeping to his specialty not English speaking tourists. And honestly, he wasn't that knowledgeable. We knew more about certain things than he did already. It was disappointing. I feel bad for the guide. He was uncomfortable. We requested a partial refund. We have done many Viator tours and they have all been fantastic until now.

    Response from the operator: Hello Elizabeth, We're sorry to hear that the experience wasn't the right fit for what you were hoping to enjoy. We understand that every guest has different expectations, and feedback like yours is valuable in helping us review how our experiences are delivered and how they're described. We’ve taken internal action, and our Global Host Manager has addressed this issue to prevent it from happening again. Our team would love another opportunity to make things right and deliver the exceptional experience you deserve. Warm regards, Sheenah and the City Unscripted team.

    It's a very personalized...

    It's a very personalized experience. Our guide , Coddy, took us to the things we wanted to see. In our case? Historic pubs ,city landmarks and the best fish and chips. It was more like sharing food , beers and stories with a local friend! Great time

    Response from the operator: That sounds like such a fun and personal experience — we're so glad Coddy made it feel like a day out with a local friend, complete with great sights, stories, and fish and chips!

    It was a very pleasant...

    It was a very pleasant afternoon with our guide. He really wanted to make sure we saw and learned about our interests, not jus the typical things to do. He was very flexible and it felt like we were visiting with a friend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review and feedback. We're so pleased to hear that your host made the afternoon special by tailoring the experience to your interests. It's wonderful to know it felt like spending time with a friend – that's exactly the kind of connection we aim to create.

    Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Liverpool.

    How much does Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized cost?

    +

    Prices start at $221 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Liverpool usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Liverpool is not rushed.

    Is Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Liverpool, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Liverpool can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Liverpool and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Liverpool within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Liverpool?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Liverpool experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Liverpool: "Blue Route" - City & Beatles Tour, Liverpool Ghost Walking Tour, Downtown Liverpool Walking Tour - In Spanish. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Liverpool?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Liverpool?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Liverpool's Best Craft Drinks & Pub Food With A Local: Private & Personalized?

    +

    Included: 3 hour walking tour, exploring highlights and hidden gems; 2 different pints of beer, or wine or soft drinks as well as 3-4 food samples; Private and personalized walking tour; and Hotel meet-up (available for central locations).
