Botanical Haven by the Dockside

Perched within the historic Britannia Pavilion at Albert Dock, The Botanist transforms a prime waterfront spot into a lush oasis. Lush greenery drapes the interior, mingling with rustic wooden elements and garden-inspired decor that evokes a vibrant secret garden. Spanning two floors, the space captures the spirit of nature amid Liverpool's maritime heritage, with expansive windows framing views of the bustling dock and its cobbled quays. The bar area buzzes with energy, featuring a long wooden counter lined with botanical cocktails and draught beers. Upstairs, the restaurant unfolds as a wonderland of hanging plants and verdant accents, where diners settle into cozy nooks for meals crafted from seasonal produce.

Flavors from the Garden

The menu draws inspiration from nature's bounty, emphasizing fresh vegetables, fruits, spices, and herbs in every dish. Signature hanging kebabs arrive suspended dramatically, sizzling with flavors like marinated meats or vibrant vegan options such as the Forager's Feast Burger. Classic pub fare—sausages and mash, Sunday roasts with Yorkshire puddings—sits alongside inventive kids' meals complete with playful presentations. Cocktails steal the show, infused with floral and herbaceous twists: think Peppered Peach Mojito or bourbon-laced Plant Pots. An extensive gin selection and ales complement the food, encouraging leisurely sips amid the greenery.

Live Rhythms and Festive Vibes

Music pulses through the venue, with homegrown live performances every Friday and Saturday from 7pm, rooting the atmosphere in natural energy. The space hosts events like Musical Bingo, Happy Hour, and Botanista Brunch, turning evenings into lively gatherings. During holidays, it morphs into a winter wonderland, perfect for group celebrations.

Spaces for Every Occasion

The bar suits casual after-work drinks or pre-dinner cocktails with friends. The main restaurant area thrives for full meals, its botanical glamour enhancing shared plates. For privacy, the stylish Private Dining Room accommodates intimate dinners, business lunches, or bespoke events, all infused with the venue's unique plant-filled allure.

Dockside Allure and Heritage Blend

Albert Dock's UNESCO-listed warehouses provide a dramatic backdrop, their vaulted ceilings and maritime echoes harmonizing with The Botanist's modern botanical twist. Patio seating extends the experience outdoors when weather permits, offering direct waterfront access. This fusion of historic industrial charm and contemporary flair makes it a standout in Liverpool's vibrant scene.
