Cedar Gin & Fire in Liverpool

Late afternoon visit, wasn't planning to eat, just have a drink but the look and smell of food was too much to resist. Order beef roast - couldn't have eaten any faster - was delish!

Nos alojamos en el lugar, así que nos ofrecieron un descuento del 10% en la factura.

He visitado muchas veces en el último año, grupo de cuatro se negó porque estaba demasiado ocupado. No hay cola, un montón de espacio en el bar, escaños vacíos.

The gin tonic menu was so good we had to get there again to try some more of their extraordinary combinations! Great service, great ambiance, fair prices. A total must for gin lovers!

Gin de cedro y fuego había sido recomendado y parece ser ligeramente cambiado. bar El personal era amable y eficiente, mientras que reconocer sus limitaciones. Este fue un cambio refrescante cuando habla acerca de gin. Elegimos 3 bebidas cada uno desde el menú Tabla, aunque tuvimos tiempo permitido, habríamos también han comprobado las extensa selección en el bar. Los cócteles son excelentes y la información corriente, sus re ginebras y mezcladoras de Botanicals había sugerido es extremadamente servicial. Sin duda un lugar al que volver.

Nos dejó en este bar (ahora rebautizado Gin & Fabula) último sábado por la noche y lo disfruté mucho. No comer, sólo quería probar el menú de gin. En £4. 95 para una sola medida cóctel gin, es un bar caro pero aún vale la pena visitar por uno o dos tragos como un lujo durante una noche en la ciudad. El bar en sí es preciosa y el ambiente relajado, con música de jazz y swing suave de fondo. Las ginebras que tuvimos fueron llamado Flor (con frambuesa y menta), Caballero Badger Endrinas grúa (con limón y arándanos), Martin Miller Gin (con el uso de la naranja y rosa) y Londres No 1 grúa (con manzana y madreselvas). Cada uno de estos cócteles eran servidos con fruta fresca y tónica, flora y bayas, que sabía fantástica y volveremos muy pronto a probar más de la carta de gin. Vale la pena señalar que otras bebidas aparte de ginebra están disponibles pero es mucho gin orientados - pruébalo!

James y el personal es de primera clase. Nos lo pasamos de maravilla, no hay ningún otro sitio tranquilo como especialmente para servicio te sientes como la persona más importante y James le pasar el tiempo creando una gran variedad de combinaciones de gin. Y la música es sensacional. Mejor de las suertes para el futuro. Una amplia selección de ginebras y tónica.

We just stumbled across this place & thought we'd try it out. Gin menu is great, loved the ginger beer mixer- it worked so well! Staff were lovely & friendly. Great atmosphere- we will be back!

Fuimos allí para mi marido 40 para una sesión de cata de gin. 4 ginebras había sido elegido para nosotros con todas las guarniciones variadas necesarias. Max era nuestro barman personal para las 2 horas que estuvimos allí y lo que él no sabía sobre la ginebra no era la pena conocer! Ni siquiera me gusta el gin, pero bien podría haber sido convertido. El bar en sí es rústico y acogedor y un poco peculiar. El personal es encantador realmente amable y atento. 10 / 10 a Max.

Lots of different gins to choose from. Bartender totally clued up on all the gins & the food was lovely. Looking forward to a return visit 😉

Stumbled over here on Saturday night after finding that Filter + Fox across the road was closing up. Any gin fan will be pleased with the extensive range! I went for a concoction complete with chillies and it had a real kick. Really chilled place and the service was excellent.There are some great places down this end of Duke Street (Filter, Brunch Club etc), but for a Saturday night it was pretty dead. It would be great to get their profiles up and get more people visiting these amazing bars!

So many gins to choose from each expertly poured by a gin loving bartender. We will definitely be going back. Didn't eat but may do next time.

As a big lover of gin this place doesn't disappoint. Lovely Bar, quirky decor and excellent knowledge and recommendations of gins and cocktails from the bar staff! Definitely return!

I visited here with friends in January 2016 and the food, drink, everything was fabulous.So, for my friends hen party, I decided to book here again for a large party of 30 ladies. I had provisionally booked this with the manager and agreed that I would get back to him with final numbers.Once I had the final numbers I contacted the manager via email and did not get a response. When I rang I was told that the manager had left and I was talking to his replacement. I went through the booking with him and he said he would send me a set menu.I collected 30 menu choices, emailed it to the new manager. No response.I rang the manager to pay deposit - said would call me back. Didn't call me back.Another 2 weeks passed and still no response/call. So I emailed him to cancel the booking. Still no response/acknowledgement.Terrible customer service.

after having dined here earlier in the year we returned with some friends for a quick drink at the weekend. It was the perfect place to go, we all sampled different gins & the bar staff were fantastic with their knowledge & recommendations. will definitely return again & like the sound of the gin tasting with tapas that they offer for £25.

Really cute little bar down some stairs. Not to be missed! Good selection of drinks and will make something up for you if you don't know what you want. Good prices and fab service.

what a fab night , staff very attentive excellent food great service I would recommend this place to everyone,thank you for making my night special ,many thanks to ste and his partner , gin amazing too regards jan and mike nickson

It would be easy to walk past - don't! An amazing gin selection of which we tried a few! Bar tender was knowledgable and friendly. Great background music, nice decor. It was quiet and I can't understand why, lovely place.

As a gin bar, this place is pretty great.As a restaurant it's overpriced and average.Great secluded subterranean venue - cool room, cool beats and a subtle hit of woodsmoke hits you as you enter.Very friendly staff, with the manager spending a lot of time with us choosing us one of 200 gins and several tonics combinations on offer.Could have spent hours doing that, but we had to eat. The food was average at best. Which is a shame, because the venue promotes itself on the INKA charcoal oven in the centre of the kitchen. But the charcoal flavour wasn't really imparted on the food.Salt fish croquettes and chicken croquettes to start - decent. Rump steak to follow - average. Only average. But, we will definitely be back to spend a few hours in the gin bar - one the city's hidden gems.

We went here recently with friends and were bowled over by the gin-based drinks on offer. The food was good, and very reasonably priced. But, as others have pointed out, it really needs a few more tables occupied to get the place going.Would definitely recommend it, though, and we will happily go back.

First visit so was bowled over by the beautifully carved doors, turns out they were saved by the owner from a church that was being demolished in Toxteth. Large select od different gins, we had cocktails with elderflower . Fab. We then moved on because the place was empty, no atmosphere. But we will be back.

The carved doors are stunning we asked if they were original and the reply was that they were recovered from a church in Toxteth that was being demolished. Huge selection of gins which we sampled in cocktails. We moved on because the place was rather empty so not atmosphere. But we will return.

I've visited here a few times in the last 12 months or so. The gin selection is really impressive and reasonably-priced for a bar in the city centre. The bar is located underground which is both unusual and quirky.Although I've not tried eating here I'd return based on the service and layout of the bar. It's a nice space to chill out and relax earlier on in the night or for a few more drinks later on.

I was planning a hen do for up to 15 ladies, called and spoke to Tony who advised me they could accommodate and would email me drinks packages the following day (Monday). Monday night arrived and nothing so I rang and left a voice mail asking for the email. Tuesday 1pm I called and spoke to Stephen and he confirmed that my booking was in the book and apologised and assured me he would get Tony to call after 6pm that day, I said that's great that we're in the book as I had not had confirmation from Tony that the table was booked. I said at least we have the tab booked but if Tony could email drinks packages though that would be great. 10pm and no call so I called again and got answerphone so left a message. Wednesday 1pm I call again and yet again Tony not available but was again told they would get Tony to email. Wednesday at 17:20 received email and so posted it on my events page on FB and the girls were happy to go with it. I replied to Tony's email on the Friday lunch confirming and that we would be there from about 10:30 and that we were only a few doors away so not far to come.Turned up just before 11pm and was told sorry no tables available, I said it's okay as I have booked through the manager Tony. The guy said I am Tony are you Caroline and I said yes, he said we have no table as you didn't confirm, to which I replied I not only replied to his email but that on Tuesday Stephen confirmed my booking was in the diary. Tony merely shrugged and said he didn't get my email. Absolutely disgusting in light of all the ringing I had done and even though not one but two of his staff had confirmed my booking was in the diary and he had NOT ONCE returned any of my calls. Neither me nor any of my party will 'attempt' to visit this place again. Luckily another bar had just had a table become available, as I am sure you will agree not easy to get somewhere last minute when there are a large group of you, and we had a fab evening. Tony at cedar Gin and Fire I suggest you re consider your customer service skills as they clearly were nowhere to be seen during my contact with you. 0 rating.

We stumbled on this bar. It's a great find. The selection of gins is unbelievably and they know them all. What works with what. Very impressive. There whisky and bourbon selection was great too. Definitely worth a walk up to.

Very nice place for catching up with friends.Lovely drinks. Even non alcoholic drinks are so tasty.I haven't tried the food there at this occasion hence 4 stars... until the next time. My friend said that her gin cocktail was delicious.I had a virgin strawberry Mohito and it was so good.

This place is great. The staff are very friendly without being over the top, the selection of gin and tonics and gin cocktails are fabulous and reasonably priced... but the FOOD is top stuff too. We (party of two) each had a starter and a main that was excellently presented, tasty and cost just £16.50. That's astonishing value for what we got. The meat was excellently cooked and perfectly seasoned. Fine dining for the cost of mid-range. Kudos to the chef and the management

This place is amazing! The gin options are endless and amazing (recommend the gin with ginger ale) and the food was superb! Service was also outstanding!

We thought this may be a good destination for some pre-dinner cocktails. Gin being an enduring favourite. The bar staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and the drinks are delicious. We had not planned to eat here due to the variance of food reviews. The meals being served did look great, although can't comment directly. Probably would try the food next time.

Stumbled across cedar tonight. Excellent service excellent drink selection. Friendly staff. Cool ambience. Really wanted to try the interesting looking food menu but had a table booked elsewhere. Definitely will be returning though

This place is great unless you're ordering food. I ordered some bar food because I as a bit peckish and was told an hour later that the new staff had forgotten to put it through. The curried hake I'd ordered (which was delicious I will admit) arrived 90 mins after I'd ordered it and there was no attempt or offer to take it off our £125 bar Bill. We did, however, get free snacks so all in all a good experience

We arrived and were seated quickly, however we were not given any drinks menus or seen to for about 7 minutes. Then we were given a menu but then had to wait another 5 minutes to be asked what we wanted. We got one drink but had no sign of another. At the same time a table of people was seated next to us and they received complimentary bar food and all of their drinks before our second drink arrived. This was the final straw and we left without drinking anything.

Booked for early evening only diners. Food took 1hr45min. Starters took 45mins, 1 starter was ready before the other disappeared presumably to be reheated . Asked for bread, a reasonable request! Member of staff nipped to Tesco express for tiger bread. Presentation nice but food was so bland and tasteless. Disappointed to say the least.

Great find on Duke Street. The food, drinks and service were all impressive and we will definitely be back again. Compliments to the chef!

If you like gin you'll love this place! They have about 50 different types of gin and have some amazing pairings with aromatics. The bar man was very helpful and on hand to give us advice about the different kinds of gin. Although we didn't eat the menu looked very interesting and I would definitely give it a try. If you fancy a change of scenery from a normal pub then this is the place for you.

We popped in for a quick drink and ended up trying 3/4 gin and tonics which were all gorgeous ... Staff were helpful and made some good recommendations too. We'll be back!!!

A great find. Well designed and laid out. Service was very good - especially the bar staff and the meat was cooked extremely well with just the right amount of finesse added to the dishes without any unnecessary fussiness. The drinks are excellent - by which i mean the gin. The bar staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The only reason 5 stars haven't been obtained is that a large hen party came for dinner and whilst not overtly raucous they were very noisy - as any group of 16 friends would be. For perfection, had the restaurant let me know this was on the cards prior to attending perhaps we would have come in a little earlier and would have vacated the restaurant by their arrival or even perhaps on another day; meaning they could have had the restaurant area entirely to themselves (bar one other couple dining like us).

Went for drinks with a group of friends on Saturday night and was very impressed. We had a variety of gin cocktails which all were excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the crowd was of a higher calibre than in other establishment near by! Would very much recommend this place and hope to try the restaurant area very soon!

Interesting venue, as the entrance down a set of stairs could easily be missed. Welcoming atmosphere with friendly bar staff, waiters and waitresses. Our party had mixed reviews of the food. Lamb was a definite hit, steak 1 was perfect the other fatty! Most disappointing was the fish, muscles were ' gritty' and wouldn't have them again. Need to sort out the extractor fan in kitchen, as smoke tended to be rather intense. No desert menu, no coffees offered. I would go back for drinks but sadly not food.

Went in for a quick drink with a friend on a monday evening, the barman was very friendly and gave us a warm greeting! He gave us a drinks menu and gave us some time to look over the extensive list of gins! He gave both of us some really great recommendations and encouraged us to both try something new and the drinks didn't disappoint.

This was our second visit - having enjoyed fantastic duck last time we were here, this time the lamb rump and shoulder blew us away - possibly the tastiest lamb we've ever eaten. Clearly this is becoming a popular destination for general grill and steaks, but the main menu is full of fabulous, adventurous dishes of extremely high quality. Drinks (gin and wine) also excellent. And it should also be said that there is a terrific sense of personal investment in the business from all involved - great service and genuine enthusiasm for what is going on. Desserts were off again on Saturday, but the cheese board was so good that there were no complaints from us. Great, unique venue - wonderful for the city.

Got this place via opentable. Was quite quiet and the entrance down a set of stairs is perhaps slightly off-putting. Once inside though it is a very nice bar/restaurant. The menu was slightly short on choice but all food was very good and well presented. The menu was a 2- course offering with a decent drinks selection and a huge gin selection. After the main course we asked about a dessert. We were offered a choice of 2 (cheese or trifle). We had one of each and we're both very tasty. Only point was there as no biscuits with the cheese but there was enough apple and grapes to make it not a big deal. We were told there would be a delay of about 15 mins for the dessert and we said that was ok since we weren't in a hurry. Staff kept us up to date at all times and after the dessert we were told they were comping the dessert since we had to wait. We argued with them that it was ok as we weren't in a hurry but they insisted. Staff were fantastic and friendly at all times. With the desserts knocked off we had a 3-course evening meal with a couple of drinks for £45. No, that isn't a typo!We will definitely return to this restaurant and would thoroughly recommend to others

I thoroughly enjoyed our family celebratory dinner at Cedar Gin & Fire - on Grand National Day. After extremely well assembled and delicious gin-based cocktails (very reasonably priced) we sat down and selected from an intriguing and imaginative menu. We first enjoyed a toasted appetiser with lamb butter which was amazing. My grilled Herdwick lamb rump was not 'baa ad' - absolutely exquisite taste and beautifully presented. Chips to die for! My wife had PHOM Tea smoked mackerel as a starter which she declared to be the best starter she had had for many years. Our son had the Old Gloucester pork dish which he clearly also really enjoyed. I can go on with the superlatives. We were so full that we shared a portion of trifle rather than go without pudding - again absolutely delicious. Throughout our visit the staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable - just right - and the chefs obviously took enormous pride in what they were putting on our plates. We shall return next time that we are in Liverpool. Five star rating for food, beverages, service, value for money and ambience. Well done the team at Cedar Gin and Fire.

Lovely place for a few quiet drinks! Such a vast selection of both gin and mixers. Slightly higher price shouldn't put you off as the ambience and service are worth it. Will sip gin again here.

awesome fungreat bar staff - friendly waitress and hit on the Wednesday night special with the house wine dealGreat crab starter and really good mains of Hake (lovely crispy skin) and sumptuous lamb rumpGreat Gin to start - but wired how no local beer?Other than that - what a find - staff told me me really great vibe at weekend - so will add this to regular haunts in Liverpool City Centre -Surprisingly good evening visit!Cheers

Had Sunday lunch today, Easter Sunday. Really fabulous food; great attentive and dedicated staff and lovely wine. We will definitely back. The place should be packed out!!

Visited here for a friends Birthday meal, the food was delicious, I would agree with other reviews in regard to the portion sizes are a little small, that being said the quality and presentation makes up for it, the delivery of the food was efficient, the selection on the menu is limited, although for the size of the place itself it is enough, the restaurant itself has a feel of a Gothic corridor with big dividing doors, the decor and mood is really charming, the staff could not be helpful enough, the gins on offer sampled were just a delight.The only small points for me are the position of the hand dryer in the mens toilets needs to be repositioned away from the door, the menu as indicated is enough although slightly I feel a little expensive for the portion sizes, these are minor though I could not fault anything else here would really happily return to try out more gin, more food in this below ground marvel.

Went a few weeks ago after finding it on Open Table.Down flight of stairs which was not inviting. Once inside though room was very nice and inviting. Guy on duty was very warm and friendly. we were the only diners in at the time, think location is a bit off the track. Had roast beef which I can recommend, we go out every Sunday and this is the best in Liverpool.

We booked for my partners 50th , the staff couldn't have been more helpful, very friendly , well educated on the gin and food .. I'm disappointment was with the length of time in between courses and the portion sizes .. We where all a little hungry when we left .. I had asked for a special pudding to have been made for my partner , which they did , it took for ages and when it arrived was a small bowl with 4 spoons ... The food itself was amazing you couldn't fault the taste , I just think the potion sizes need to be bigger and the service faster ... Lovely location , very quirky ...

Great place if you love gin and food. The bar staff really understand their gins and how to put the drink together. Stumbled across this place but we will make it back on a regular basis. Thanks for the experience.

Had heard great things about his place and was really looking forward to my visit. Upon arrival at 8pm on Saturday night, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet. Only one other table was occupied. Our waitress allowed us to choose where sat. When the menus arrived, we were again surprised at the lack of choice. Only four starters and five mains. Of the five mains, the lamb was unavailable. Our waitresses were very pleasant and gave some good advice on which gin and tonics to choose. We waited ages for our starters to arrive. When they did finally arrive, the food was nice, but nothing spectacular and the portions were disappointingly small. The mains also took an annoyingly long time to arrive, especially considering only two tables were in the restaurant. Despite this, the main courses were delicious. Again, however, the portions were very small and we were still hungry after having finished, We were not offered a dessert menu. When the bill arrived, we felt it was expensive for what we had had. In summary, venue was nice, atmosphere was quiet, waitresses were very pleasant and knowledgeable. Food was good, but portions were far too meagre and the service was too slow. It was also expensive. As I wrote in the title of this review, there were some good aspects, but our evening was ultimately rather disappointing.

This weekend has been our first time in Liverpool and my husband and I came here both nights! We just happened up on it on the way to somewhere else and ended up staying all night! The gin selection is out of this world, this place is a real must for any connoisseur. Max is an outstanding host, really charming and he seems to know everything there is to know about gin! We sat at the bar and were really looked after! No the drinks aren't cheap but you're getting premium gins and tonics plus all the lovely botanicals. Go here if you wanna drink great gins and be surrounded by like minded people :-)

Ten of us visited last Saturday evening,8 pm.The menu was quite limited and then we were told that the lamb was unavailable.I didn't order a starter,decided to have dessert instead,but by the time we got the mains it was after 9 20.One main,the duck,had to be sent back because it was cold and I really should have sent mine back as it wasn't really hot,but as I d not had a starter and had waited so long for my main I was starving!Then we were told that there was only a choice of two desserts,strawberry brulee and bread and butter pudding.I can understand them running out of food choices later in the evening,but to do so at 8 o clock on a Saturday night is not good enough.We all said it was a beautiful place but due to the limited menu and some choices being unavailable we wouldn't go back again.I emailed the restaurant last week via Tripadvisor but haven't had a reply.

We ate here a couple of times in August last year.The venue itself is really cool, with a nice chilled out atmosphere.The food is superb and exudes the passion the team clearly have for delivering a great experience - really good, tasty, and innovative, Also great value.Most impressive of all is the team who run the place, they pulled out all the stops for my wife's birthday and made us and our friends feel really valued as customers.Give this place a go - you wont be disappointed!

This was our second visit to cedar and yet again the food was amazing. This is honestly the nicest meal we have had. The staff are amazing so attentive and their knowledge of gin is superb. This is the only place I have ever drank gin and probably the only place I will! Beautiful place and a must to visit - you will not be disappointed. Special thanks to Max who attended to us lovely gentleman.

Lovely him bar hidden away in Liverpool. The guy behind the bar was very knowledgeable and he served us two different gins complemented with fruit and herbs. The drinks were really good and well presented and good value too. Would recommend to anyone.

This is bar that you might find hard find. It is located below street level and has a small sign that just reads "Cedar" however they also have a gas flame burning out the front. The bar looks great and has been decked out with a mix of reclaimed materials and modern style. They really know their gins and have a large selection from around the world. If you are unsure what you want to drink then just ask and they will make you something you will like. I cannot comment on the food.

A really great place to visit. The food is sensational.....excellent menu and wonderfully prepared by a great chef. The bar has a great selection of gins (and other drinks) with knowledgeable bar staff who are enthusiastic to help. We had a great time here. The environment is perfect for a relaxed evening of eating, drinking and good conversation. Highly recommended :-)

Excellent find. First time there today, and as a gin lover, I can honestly say the gin selection is amazing. The food was superb and the "Tom Collins" was to die for. Great little place, will be returning soon.

We booked Cedar last minute on a Saturday as we couldn't get in to any other restaurants and are so glad we did. It's such a nice little place. We had a wonderful meal and the atmosphere is really nice in there with a nice selection of music playing. The waitress that served us was very lovely and knowledgeable, helping me choose what gin and mixer I should have. I never drink gin normally but it was such a tasty drink! From when we arrived and ordered to getting each course was a bit slow but that's not a complaint as such. We were just enjoying sitting with our drinks and all new restaurants aren't prefect when they first start out. I would absolutely recommend this to my friends. It's almost like a secret gem in Liverpool. It makes such a change to go somewhere like this than the normal choice that you have.

The food is lovely , really tasty and refined. We all had something different and it was all faultless. The lamb was really tender and the service was friendly without being over powering . The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with a good selection of music that is just at the right volume . Excellent selection of gins . The only downside which is why I won't give it 5 stars is that it has quiet small portions and you have to pay extra for ur sides. We went on the living social deal so this was really good value but would have been a bit pricey if we paid full price .

went to this bar/restaurant to redeem a living social voucher and was very impressed. Just a few minor details that stopped me from giving it 5 out 5 but will definitely go back there again.good points - the waitress was fantastic, she was extremely knowledgeable about their products & service and an absolute credit to the company! the starters and mains were absolutely delicious, nice decor and comfortable surroundings, great selection of gin and fantastically presentedroom for improvement - portion sizes a little on the small size and veg is charged as extra (making the food pricey if not using a voucher), kitchen service very slow resulting in food not being as hot as could be, dessert menu needs some work, the venue does not particularly stand out and could be very easily missed when walking/driving pastoverall i would (& have already) recommend this place to friends and family for either food or simply a nice relaxed drink. i would also return as a customer myself. the company need to be careful not to price themselves out of the market foodwise tho given their edge of town location and competition.again special mention to the waitress on the night who worked extremely hard and was very professional, had it not been for her personality & work ethic the experience could have been soured by the slow service from the kitchen.

fabulous food, an amazing gin menu and very helpful staffI would highly recommend cedar gin & fire to any gin lovers !!

Had a lovely evening here. We had a living social voucher which included a gin & tonic & 2 course meal which was fantastic. Lovely food, atmosphere & of course, gin! Will defiantly be back.

I booked to go here on Saturday using a Living Social deal and I must say I was pleasantly surprised as it was very enjoyable. Enjoyable in respects of the service (our waitress Charlotte was quite delightful and friendly) the ambience was warm and inviting and the food quite delicious. We would definitely go again as it was a quite delightful meal and place and the gin that came with the deal was very nice too. I think Cedar Gin and Fire could have an excellent future in Liverpool with their warm service delicious food, interesting menu and welcoming milieu. I take my hat off to you Cedar Gin and Fire

Probably the best meal my husband and I have eaten out in ages! Deliciously cooked pheasant leg for starters followed by rump of Hereford beef that was cooked absolutely to perfection accompanied by a selection of vegetables and jus that complimented the meal perfectly. Ended the meal with a spiced apple crème brulee that was perfection itself! Add to this a good selection of gins that are served with a smile makes this a truly marvellous find!

Amazing food. Really tasty soup and the beef fat butter was amazing! Fillet beef was perfect. Croquettes get a thumbs up and was surprised at how nice the bread and butter pudding was. Considering everything was made from scratch, there wasn't a long wait for food and the waitress was brilliant. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. You must go to get through the gin list too!

We went to Cedar Gin and Fire using a Living Social voucher, we were warmly greeted and this friendly helpful attitude continued throughout the whole evening. The menu was a restricted one but the food was exceptionally good. To start three of us had the honey roasted parsnip soup and the other had partridge and pancetta, we all oohed and aahed over the flavours and quality of the cooking, for main courses two shared chateaubriand which was so tender and tasty and was accompanied with truffled chips, blue cheese fritters and charred tomato, one had half a pheasant which was moist and not overcooked as pheasant so often is and the other had a large plate of mushroom risotto. The full price would have been quite expensive but was on a par with, if not better than, many top end well established restaurants. Our waitress, Charlotte, was really friendly, chatty, helpful and efficient.All in all thius is a must place to visit

My wife loves her gin so I was really pleased to find this place close to our hotel and dinner reservation.First impression from the street was that the place might be a bit grubby as the steps (Cedar is a cellar bar) needed weeding and there was some rubbish outside. Our welcome was very warm and the place was nicely decorated. There was a large selection of gins and the barman was very helpful in explaining about each of them. He was also helpful when I asked about some of the lager they had. It was quite pricy but the experience we had was lovely so we didn't mind paying a bit extra. The food looked very nice and would go back and try them for dinner should we return to Liverpool.

For the past two weeks we have spent our Saturday evening at Cedar, having various Gins to relax us before the meal, and enjoying a totally different menu each night. In fact I'm disappointed I have a staff party on and can't go back tonight! We weren't in a rush and were able to chat to other friends in the restaurant who were also returning for a second and third visit. We have sampled the Gin cured salmon, home made black pudding (amazing), fabulous Hake and Halibut cooked to perfection, and a duck confit starter which I want to sample next time. Garlic samphire...amazing. My only disappointment was that we were too late to order the sirloin of beef with rillettes, as it looked delicious, and I hope it is on the menu again soon. The chef, Josh, has obviously experienced a broad range of culinary techniques in his training, and its great to see it all being created in front of you. For such high quality food the prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. Next Saturday maybe....

Fantastic customer service but not the best menu. Quality of the food was ok but main issue was the portion sizes, still hungry after ordering extra sides.

Having heard great things about this place I was really looking forward to my visit. We decided to go here prior to a gig at The Phil so booked a table for 5pm. First impressions were good as it's a really nice space. I ordered a beer and waited for my friends to arrive and checked out the menu. They arrived and ordered 3 large gins, then we waited and waited, I finished my beer and asked for a gin as well before being shown to our table. As soon as we sat down we noticed the table was wonky, the waitress tried to fix it but seeing as we were the only people in the restaurant we suggested we just move to another table. Eventually out drinks arrived, and just as we settled down to peruse the menu we were asked to move to another table. Despite nobody else being in the place we agreed and moved to our 3rd table of the evening. I ordered the rabbit confit to start and my friends all ordered the langoustine. When they finally arrived we were all totally underwhelmed. My rabbit was delicious but there was hardly any of it, maybe 4 mouthfuls but the langoustine dish had to be seen to be believed. One small pathetic looking prawn swimming in what my friend described as Pot Noodle gravy all for £8.50. These langoustine had obviously been on some sort of diet. Then we waited for our mains, and waited and waited. We ordered more drinks and the waitress recommend on particular gin that was served with an olive when it arrived I was told they had no olives but it would still be ok. If you're charging over ten pounds for a drink the least you can do is serve it correctly. As we had a gig to attend we were conscious that time was moving on and despite the fact that there were now only two other couples in the restaurant there was no sign of any haste in the kitchen. Eventually our mains arrived at twenty past six, one hour and twenty minutes after we'd been seated. I could understand this if they were busy but the place was empty. I ordered the halibut and again it was delicious but a very small portion my friends ordered the beef which again was a small portion but was stone cold. One friend sent theirs back the other two were so hungry they just ate it. Because of the delay in getting the food out our friend didn't have time to order anything else. The waitress offered to have the dish warmed up but we'd had enough by this time and asked for the bill. As expected the cost of one main course was deducted from our bill but it still came to a whopping £166. We knew that the drinks would be expensive but the food order of 4 starters 3 mains and two sides was £99 and all four of us were absolutely starving when we left. It was a terrible start to our evening I know all places can have good and bad days but this was truly appalling we all feel conned and ripped off by the extortionate prices for what was a very very poor dining experience. Another message to the management if someone tweets a negative comment about your establishment why don't you try engaging your customer instead of blocking them.

We bought a Living Social voucher for here and had never been before. When we arrived we were served a gin and tonic at the bar before being taken to our table. The menu was small but perfectly put together. The food was prepared fresh and was really delicious, my vegetarian main course was the best restaurant meal I have had in some time. The presentation of the food was lovely too. The waiter we had serving us was very attentive and helpful. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Have just returned from this little hide away from the Sam the barman to gaz the chef we wernt disappointed good was excellent especially the smoked pear crumble with rosemary custard which I would literally have on it's own..definitely returning.

I have recently held a baby shower here for my sister and have to say everything on the day was perfect! The venue was great and we were allocated a good area which comfortably fit around 25 of us plus food and drink. The food was delicious. As we were there at midday our guests had eggs benedict, gin cured salmon bagels with dill cream cheese, brie and bacon toasties with tomato chutney and pancakes with winter berries and lemon yoghurt. Every item was superb! The staff were very welcoming and made us feel at ease and no request before the actual shower or on the day was too much for them. Overall everything was great and I am looking forward to going back and trying the Sunday roast.

We had a table on Saturday, arrived and were seated and attended to by very welcoming staff - first problem was they had nearly ran out of red wine - the manager was great about it and afterwards reduced our drinks bill to compensate. The bread and oil was lovely (from the Baltic Bakehouse), the starters were good - Lambs liver was good but not great, the goats cheese was similar. Mains - beef was rare (we were not asked how we wanted it cooking) but lovely. I had the Hake which wasn't hot enough - so by the time I was halfway through it really wasn't that appealing.The music was a bit 'clubby' the bill was very reasonable but the staff were excellent.Will I come back ? Not sure really.

The food on offer here is as good as any we have eaten anywhere - lambs liver for starter, and duck for main course cooked to perfection. Terrific cocktails, great service including an excellent wine recommendation. The only down sides were a rowdy table opposite - and the fact that desserts were off due to a fridge malfunction - though we got a delicious cheese board plus sloe gin to make up for this. And neither of these issues however affected the general sense that this a truly exceptional addition to Liverpool's food scene.

We visited this bar/restaurant when it first opened and we were intrigued to see what had happened to the once brillant LA BATEAU which used to be a haunt of our back in the day.The renovation of this place is amazing ,the basement bar just look's so cool,a modern bar,exposed brickwork ,clever use of lighting result's in an uber cool bar.We got a nice table and we got Staropramen beer served in perfect condition,iced cold and sparkling ,we just enjoyed our beer's and soaked up the atmosphere in here and the great surrounding's.Their drink's menu look's good,not a gin drinker myself,if you enjoy gin this place is for you with over 30 different gin's on offer and great cocktail's plus the meal's menu look's superb.I lot of people mourned the demise of LA BATEAU,me included but CEDER GIN & FIRE is a great replacement.The new owner's have done a wonderful job on this venue and i really believe this new bar/restaueant will be as popular as it's predecessor Very easy to locate on DUKE STREET in an area with some wonderful pub's ,bar's and restaurant's.Opening hour's are;Monday ,closed.Tuesday to Thursday,4pm till 11pm.Friday & Saturday,midday till 1am.Sunday,midday till 7pm.Fabulous bar and well worth a visit.

Hi Guys, we arrived at the Cedar Gin & Fire for a birthday meal only to find out they had a problem with the electricity and had to close the kitchen, they tried calling my Mrs but she didn't answer because she didn't recognise the number. Owner was fantastic and couldn't apologise enough, he offered to book another restaurant for us and gave us a few complimentary drinks. It's a great bar and the restaurant looks fantastic so we will definitely be making another booking in the near future! His knowledge of gin is fantastic and took his time to explain the various gins (a lot) and the best mixers to compliment the gin. My birthday night was definitely not spoilt by the temporary closer of the kitchen, I've decided it's just postponed until our next visit. Thanks again to Justin and staff ☺

We visited Cedar Gin ad Fire for the first time at the weekend, and it won't be the last. The place has a lovely atmosphere, and we were greeted by friendly staff and enjoyed a drink while our table was prepared. Our food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection, the the G&Ts were the best I have ever had, and the extremely talented singer/pianist topped the evening off. Highly recommended!

As the title says had an amazing g&t served with coriander (sounds crazy but works really well). Service was good, quick and friendly. Music and vibe I can imagine been pretty good. The only issue was that we came here on a Tuesday at 9pm and were the only people there.... Shame as would have been really special if a few more people were present to add to the atmosphere. Still worth a try though :-)

Arrived for our table a couple of minutes late but still had to wait nearly 25 minutes before our first drinks order arrived. The cocktails (007 by the book and The Box) were delicious and were taken off the bill due to the wait so can't complain too much. When the food arrived it was definitely worth the wait- Ox skirt tartare was delicate and tender (slightly overpowered by the strong mustard is my only gripe) but we couldn't fault the goats cheese starter. The mains (lamb rump and duck breast) were truly outstanding and cooked to perfection. Desserts rounded off the meal nicely- nice and light and well balanced.

This place blows me away!A hidden gem on Duke street. My friend had been before and knows how much of a foodie I am so took me.Steak dish was sublime. Melted in the mouth. Cooked perfectly. Seasoned spot on.The staff were fabulous. Enjoyed probably far too many gins but hey you're only young once!I loved it. Decor is great. It's clean and fresh. I will definitely be back next month!

We visited this restaurant in August and both played it safe with the Steak which was incredible, but after nosing at our fellow diners choices could not wait to get back to work through the menu and we weren't disappointed. This has to be one of the most talented Chefs in the North West as everything we ate was perfectly cooked and unique. Staff are friendly and the restaurant itself is well decorated and personable. Looking forward to getting back there soon.

I had a Liverpool Gin and Fevertree Mediterranean, just excellent. Best in Liverpool. Situated on duke street between The Munro and The Mayflower

Myself and a group of lads visited Liverpool to watch the Liverpool v West Ham being a little older we was looking for a more upmarket place to stay and eat. We decided to stay at the Le bateau apartments and ate at cedar Gin and Fire having eaten and been to many London bars and restaurants I must say Gin and fire is up there with the best thefood was 1st class as was the service the staff were both professional and friendly and also down to earth. We also stayed at the Le bateau apartments and all I can say is wow apartments done to the highest spec and clean when we arrived. The location was perfect for going into the town centre for the bars and nightclubs.A big thanks to all the staff especially the bar man who even bought us a drink to celebrate West Ham 3 nil win. I would highly recommend anyone visiting the amazing vibrant city of Liverpool to stay at the Le bateau apartments and eat at Gin and fire for a great stay and dinning experience. Thanks again see you all soon. London lads.

I live in London but every time I make a trip back home to Liverpool I always pay a visit to Cedar Gin & Fire.The first time I visited the basement bar/restaurant I didn't know what to expect but I can honestly say it exceeded all expectations.We were greeted by the hostess who gave us the option of taking a seat at the bar or sit in a booth whilst we looked through the menu to decided if we wanted to stay and have a meal as we hadn't booked a table beforehand. We chose a booth and were served Gin & Juice in a very large glass filled with fruit and I have to say it went down a treat :) It could possibly be my new favorite drink, I am yet to find a bar in London who can make it just as good.The music they played was edgy, cool and set at the right tempo not to fast and not to slow. Chilled enough to sit and eat a meal through but also lively enough to make you want to stand at the bar after your meal to have drinks with the girls.The food we chose was a mixture of small plates, it was food I had not really sampled before but I can honestly say each dish was delicious.I have been here a number of times now with different groups of friends and each time I've been I've never been disappointed as the atmosphere caters for all, old, young, new, couples its just fab. The next time I come home to Liverpool in a couple of weeks I will definitely be paying Cedar a visit on the Sunday as I am yet to try out their roast dinners.

I urge everyone who is thinking about eating here to do so.The quality of the food is outstanding. I had mackerel for starter and steak for my main and they were both cooked to perfection.

Went with a few friends for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Wow, you could walk right past not knowing this place was there. We stumbled upon a great place. The food was exceptional at fair prices and the range of drinks at the very well run bar was unbelievable. Only downside is I can't handle my gin so I was in a bit of a state when we left. Obviously my own fault. Made to feel very welcome,would highly recommend. Steven the owner was very helpful and made it a night a night to remember.

Had such a great time - the food is fabulous, wine was great & the bar / restaurant is gorgeous. definitely recommended.

The food, music and ambiance was brilliant, went to have dinner after work with friends, great food, great music and great staff, Thanks Ste for the personal touch, we really enjoyed it and will defo be back. P.S. The cocktails were divine, I could have stayed all night xxx

Highly recommend a visit here. Extensive knowledge from bar tenders and owner. Fantastic atmosphere and a gin old fashioned that's delightful even to a non gin drinker

visited by chance and so pleased we did. extensive range of gins, personal and friendly service. massive investment in a Liverpool institution la bateau. we had a couple of drinks, gin of course, and spoke to the owner Steven about his project to revamp the building into aparthotel, restaurant and bar. hes put his heart and soul - and wallet by the looks of it - into the project and we will be dropping by in the future as its a fab place. the downstairs restaurant/bar has been wonderfully restored with many of the original features cherished and showcased, which is a credit to steven as Im sure its cheaper to rip them out and start again. we are considering staying over in the hotel as they have a deal for £90, room, 3 course meal and gin & tonic for 2 people...well worth £90 of your hard earned cash. good luck to the team there, see you soon.

Visited this lovely restaurant last night and had a really fab time. Food was delicious and extremely well presented, the gooseberry creme brulee was one of the best desserts I've ever tasted. I didn't much care for gin until last night and now I'm a big fan of their monkey gin and 1764 tonic. We were very well looked after and I would definitely recommend this place and will return.

We found this bar by accident , went in the cellar bar. Great music , good service, with a good choice of cocktails.We will return to taste the food, looks delicious .

Called in at lunchtime and although the place was quite quiet we really enjoyed it. As gin lovers you can't really go wrong here with an excellent selection but the quality of the food was good too. It was our first visit but we will definitely return probably in the evening when the atmosphere would probably match the food and drink!

Questo ristorantino con pochi coperti non si trova nella parte più caotica di Liverpool ma ai margini del centro dello shopping cittadino. È gestito con cura, ha pochi coperti e pochi piatti e un'ambientazione romantica. Conviene andare a cena e in poche persone. Qui le tavolate rumorose non sono ben accette. I prezzi sono nella media. Circa 30 gip a testa, bevendo vino e prendendo anche il dessert. Si mangia soprattutto carne.

Visited here on Saturday night. Basement restaurant and bar specializing in many types of gin. Menu selection small but quality and presentation of food best quality.Good service and great staff. When we finished our evening the heavens had opened up outside and we had no coats or umbrellas, One of the staff leant us an umbrella which we were most grateful for and returned later in the evening,Certainly recommend a visit look forward to next visit.

After many yrs drinking and dancing in Le Bateau its incredible to see how the basement has been transformed into this cracking little restaurant, a great space and lovely atmosphere with even better food & drinks.We went on a Saturday night at 8pm and it quickly filled up. Started with a cocktail....the 'not such a Bloody Mary' was genius and then opted for the taster menu with the accompanying drinks flight. Having done a lot of taster menus it was very well priced and a good way to see what the kitchen has to offer. Things started very well with a lovely gin Bellini and three really tasty canapés and just got better from there....the scrambled duck egg & white truffle I could eat every day and the ox flank tartar with coal oil was as good as it gets, the surprise little crunchy bits of what I think where crispy chicken skin was a stroke of genius. Having had a similar dish at Simon Rogan's L'enclume and FERA at Claridges this was every inch as good, if not better for the addition of the chicken skin. The Cornish mackerel was perfect and the roast rump of Hereford beef was as well cooked a piece of meat as your likely to get. We constantly had drinks lined up on the table, brilliant value and worked well with each course....be warned, this option is not for the light drinkers!! Overall probably the best fine dining meal the city has to offer in a really nice relaxed venue. It absolutely wiped the floor with the Arts School Restaurant with a significantly lighter bill at the end. We left after midnight, nicely full up and quite well oiled after all those drinks. Great venue, great dinks, some stunning food....will be back very soon

Returning to the basement of a former club was always going to evoke some very drunken memories, but I was impressed with the redesign. We went for dinner on a Friday and had a very relaxing evening including 3 courses, wine and cocktails. The tables are nicely spaced, and we felt immediately at ease.The menu was innovative, and they'd clearly taken care selecting interesting combinations of ingredients. The food was excellent throughout, particularly the ham hock starter with a hash brown. and the service was extremely friendly. The wine list was in flux, and as such limited, but we still had a good bottle, and I'm looking forward to seeing their new list.
