Liverpool independent businesses

Independently owned shops, cafés, pubs, bakeries and services across Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area. No chains, and nothing here has been paid for.

Every entry is one we have checked ourselves: the address, that the place is still trading, and the Food Standards Agency hygiene rating where there is one. We write each listing in our own words rather than running a press release.

Search by name or street below, or filter by what it is and which part of the city it is in. Just after the new ones? See what has opened and closed recently.

Independently owned

One-off places and small local groups. If it is a national chain, it is not in here.

Checked, not submitted

We confirm the address and that the place is trading before it goes up, and we take entries down when they close.

Nobody pays

There is no paid tier and no advertising deal behind any listing. What is here is what we rate.
