njoying a drink on a rooftop bar is one of the little pleasures in life, especially when there is the bonus of beautiful city views and Liverpool has plenty of those. When April 12 rolls around there will finally be nothing to stop us enjoying a cocktail, or three, if we remain outdoors in the British sun. Here are some of the best rooftop bars you need to visit with your friends and family. 1. Garden of Eden The top floor of the Shankly Hotel is branded as ‘Liverpool’s premier rooftop wedding and events venue’. The spacious rooftop beer garden is said to ‘make dreams come true’ on a sunny day. When the terrace is not reserved, it is open to allow customers to get a 360 view of the city’s skyline. They often host live gigs and rooftop cinema nights as well as offering a daily cocktail menu.
