    Korova

    Posted by roboo 8 January 2008

    A music venue in the popular drinking area that is Concert Square. Go past all the awful chain bars and two-for-one drinking venues and escape to Korova just up Fleet Street. Wicked venue, illustrations and graphics cover the walls and there are booths in the bar to relax in. During the day there's good food and drink, of an evening you can catch a band or go to one of the club nights. Usually has something going on most evenings.

    Holiday flats Berlin

    Posted by roboo 11 October 2007

    Great apartments - all of them in Wilheminian-style houses. The flats are in the heart of the city and you feel like a real Berliner when staying in them.

    Really cheap and comfortable, these apartments are a must if you are visiting Berlin. Also very easy to book and very friendly to deal with.

    Excellent ice creams in the seaside village of Parkgate on the Wirral. The strange thing is the sea has now gone, it's no longer a busy port and due to the Dee tides it only comes up to the sea wall a couple of times a year. Excellent views to the mountains of north Wales.

    On the Parade, in the centre of town, just on the edge of the Wirral.

    Korova

    Posted by roboo 1 December 2006

    Bar, eating and then a club. Brilliant live music most nights of the week and a great venue with graphics and art all over the walls. This place looks a bit odd opposite some scally pub but don't be put off that they built this is the wrong part of town.

    39-41 Fleet Street, Liverpool City Centre. Next to Concert Square. 5 mins walk from Central Station
