Duke St Food And Drink Market, Liverpool

Food hall with bars that is split over a couple of levels. With the local schools off for half term, I suppose it wasn't so surprising that the place was packed with on a midweek mid-afternoon visit. Food stalls offering different cuisines line the left-hand side of the building, with what looks like a more formal (and less popular) restaurant on the upper level. The posh unisex toilets can also be found up here. There are a couple of bars in this space. At the front of the building, there is a wine bar, whilst the one selling beer is tucked away around a corner at the rear. The 2 craft beer offerings were Camden Pale & Goose Island Midway, whilst there is a more interesting range of canned beers from Glen Affric - Bevvie Across The Mersey, Medal of Mosaic, Horizon Light, Into The Forest, Rutting Stag & I Can't Believe It's Nutella. The craft beers are served as schooners. I supposed they're trying to be trendy (and perhaps rip-off merchants). I've had this down as a place to try for some time, but it's not my scene.

As noted below, this is mainly an eating place and there were large queues at the door by the time we were leaving. Set over two floors, the interior is nicely done but the customer is certainly paying for it, very expensive! The bar didn’t stock much draught beer of interest and everything is of course over £5 a pint.
