The Brink in Liverpool

Lovely place with lovely food and amazing smoothies.A little hidden gem in Liverpool

Not the way l remember it Nobody spoke to myself and my daughter l was looking forward to someone coming over and chatting with us as they did the time walked in it was so much friendlier l know it was along time age but ld explained to my daughter how nice everyone was just seemed so different such shame

Great place to meet and access any help

The food, drink, and restaurant area are nice but the Brink of Change group is absolutely horrible and not helpful

Great place and great things happening there. Keep up the good work.

Nice food and drinks, but also as we found, a place for helping people in need

It's okay but could be better if the opening hours were extended

I absolutely love this place. Friendly staff, great service and a really welcoming, warm atmosphere. The food and drinks are of excellent quality and also very good value for money

Went here on a Friday night. With a recovery group called Breakfree. Lee Butler. Si Austin. Robbie Edwards. DJ sets. Staff were very friendly. Everyone was dancing. Great night. Just proves you dont need ALCOHOL AND drugs to have a great time. 👍

Amazing place, amazing staff, amazing atmosphere. Cheap prices, great tastes!

It's good for when u really need help with different health issues

A great,relaxed and chill out place with good food from a small menu. And it's all for a good cause.Staff are friendly.

Friendly and welcoming. Under new management post COVID and much improved. Back to how it should be.

Nice place with good ambience and very reasonable prices. The staff are really helpful and friendly.

Excellent service! I went there late to get a warm drink because it was freezing, and the guy at the bar was super nice. The food area was already closed but the hot cocoa was amazing! (There's free wifi fyi)

Always worth dropping by. Good food, decent coffee, boss staff. Dry house. Great Mocktails.

My favourite place to go always friendly it's a place you can go on your own but never feel alone it's beautiful vybe with beautiful food and staff and amazing events also table tennis and meditation groups outside area for the summer the brink holds a special place in my heart 🥰🙏😘

Great place for those who need a bit of guidance and support..

Soft drinks and food looks real nice. No beer but coffee tea, yeah. Didnt try the food but it looks real nice, Hence 3 star.

fantastic people. help one and other through hard times. go.go go. the brink. God bless to you all,

I only just found this place, oh my it's nice, lovley friendly staff, and the coffee mocha is delish, and lovely cake, I joined a music group there, I was lookn for a place that don't serve alcohol, so glad i found this, clean friendly and doing a good course too, thank you the brink I have a new friend in my life to go to x

Friendly staff and good selection of food. Nice atmosphere....

It's 'the place' to eat! Classic English breakfast was flawless and delicious. Serving was absolutly huge. The Staff were very friendly and helpful for me, as it is my first time in Liverpool. If you want to eat something tasty and chat with friendly people you must visit The Brink

Found this place while wandering around looking for somewhere to eat and this did not disappoint! The portions were incredibly generous and all of the food was cooked to perfection. The staff was very friendly and the cafe contributes to a good cause which is always a plus!

Surprised by how large this place was ..

Excellent staff warm and friendly coffee was beautiful, I was there as part of a group and it servered our purpose well

Always had fantastic food and service at The Brink. Would love to see it open again and not have to stay shut

Been using their back room & cafe for our guitar classes for years. Sad that they've closed apart from their addiction services. Staff always good - best wishes for them.

Prices very good. A nice place to relax.

Seems like a genuinely nice place with good people and food..

The brink is the most frendly place in liverpool and the foods amazeing.

Nice atmosphere and pleasant staff and lovely food

Sounds a brilliant place and I'd really love to visit here BUT, the price of the food is a bit ott. (Just saying)🤨

First visit to the Brink. Loved its atmosphere. Very chilled and laid back. Jay was really welcoming behind the bar. Will definitely return on a more regular basis.

Amazing alchahol free social base

Wonderful place full of fellowship!

Just like i remember it :) nice hearty big portions and tasty no fuss food :D attentive staff who go out of their way to make up for the shortcomings caused by ongoing renovations when i visited. Will always recommend :)

For peaple recovering from alcohol abuse it is a loverly place to chill and the staff are excellent

The community in the brink is amazing . Everyone is made welcome in Liverpool's first dry bar .. Try this place if you don't like it I will eat my proverbial hat ... I love the brink with passion. Come join us . Try smoothy or a fat breaky

I love the concept and being a year sober I really wanted to love it. When I went to celebrate my year sober, they weren't doing the mocktails (it was Monday evening). The only other drinks they seemed to have were various Fentimans and San Pelligrino. The atmosphere wasn't that nice, there were a lot of people who clearly knew each other and it felt a bit post-AA meeting where everybody knows each other and if you aren't a regular you stick out. Lots of the regulars were smoking right by the doors, and then one of them put his half smoked roll-up on the table i was sitting at with my husband and just walked off like he was in his own home. Places like this that support sobriety are so important, but if you're looking for a good dry bar with interesting non-alcoholic drinks I don't think this is it. It seems more like a non-alcoholic dive bar/boozer to me.

Amazing supportive and creative space. Relaxed and openly friendly. Dry bar with stage, football match showings and outdoor area. Great to go to on a Sunday morning for breakfast

If you need someone to talk to or need support raise is the place. It also help with adiction. Things in place to help people who are struggling.

Fab place for those who want to stay drug and alcohol, great people who care to help

Friendly, relaxed vibe and welcoming staff. Food was tasty and a nice choice of smoothies.

Perfect place to sit and relax in a safe, comfortable environment. Amazing service. Great range of drinks and food. Fantastic provider of groups and activities as well.

Excellent afternoon tea and champagne cocktail non-alcoholic staff very friendly and welcoming j lovely service thanks I would definitely go again

Brilliant, toast and hot chocolate, please support this place

Good atmosphere and service. Great selection of non alcoholic drinks and snacks too.

Lovely place to visit with recovery at heart

Such a great concept. I love the environment and the food is decent as well!

Excellent service and brilliant atmosphere

Special place, great live entertainment

Fantastic would recommend this place friendly outgoing staff and members of public welcoming

Great home cooked food and a large airy venue.

Best value cuppa in Liverpool. Fabulous place to take a break.

Brink whilst you think. A dry bar for good times and bad. Great surroundings. Great people.

Good friendly staff ..great if you like bands

Great space with a relaxed atmosphere. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Food is great. Good to know it is dog friendly too.

Nice little place to go only been once not had a chance to return but I would recommend it

great place for a coffee and a chat. informal homely and great food

This is one of the most amazing cafe/restaurants I've ever been to. It has amazing food, great music and non-alcohol cocktails to die for. And, it is a place for people in recovery (i.e. alcoholics looking for somewhere cool to hang out) and I've never seen anything like it. If you're in Liverpool go and eat something there. I just had a Thai curry there and it was better than anything I've had in years...and you don't need to have anything to do with addiction or recovery to appreciate it. I was in Liverpool for about 4 days and I went to the Brink each day to eat, drink, appreciate the awesome sounds and work on my laptop. I can't recommend it highly enough. The photos below were added in 2019 and are of wooden panels on their walls.

Good food Kebab was awesome Ambience is good...not to costly

Was asked to go here by a few friends and was pleasantly surprised. Staff were excellent and friendly.

Met up with new friends here from Nbla Facebook group pleasant afternoon coffee and mocktails in a relaxing atmosphere will be meeting here again

The perfect community venue, dry bar with fantastic choice of side drinks, smoothies and great food. Always something going on

Fantastic venue with a great atmosphere

Fantastic place with amazing facilities and opportunities. Such nice and easy going staff

This place is excellent. Nothing is too much bother and always busy.

Me dijeron que este lugar era ideal para las opciones de comida sin gluten, así que di un paseo de 15 minutos hasta su lugar, fui al mostrador y les pregunté si atendían a celíacos, un miembro del personal me dijo "no" abruptamente y cuando Respondió Tripadvisor y otros sitios web dicen, así que simplemente me ignoró. Compré un café porque tenía mucha sed en este punto buscando un lugar para comer y estaba tan enojada por lo grosero que era el miembro del personal, tomó nuestro dinero y básicamente cerró mi cambio en el mostrador y me dijeron: "Voy a Tráemelos ya que tengo otras cosas que hacer "No va a volver

The Brink has been a God send to our family since it opened. It is a blessing to this city and anyone who wants to pursue sobriety. Many come to our city to celebrate and that's great but the Brink is there and I hope will always be there for anyone of any age to consider abstinence from addiction when the party is over. Please support it. My husband is in his 23rd year of recovery and part of that recovery has been in the company of the staff and visitors at this, the most unpretentious eatery in Liverpool. Well done and thank you to all the staff over the years, you do fantastic job.

Such a warming feeling to be there and know what the place is about

Best coffee in town, brilliant relaxing place

A fantastic friendly place Great customer service well wroth a visit

Great place, well worth the visit!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, fresh food well made.

The shef was very nice an food was to my standard

Brilliant place safe and beer free x

Most amazing support another great place in Liverpool

Very kind staff, healthy fresh smothies, we had a good breakfast!

Love this place, great food, great none-alcoholic drinks, great staff and great atmosphere....what more can you ask for?!

nipped in today for lunch, lovely day so they had the barbecue going. Two burgers, a chicken salad, cokes and a pot of tea for a tenner, you kidding. The staff here are very friendly and attentive and profits ploughed back into the community. Make sure you visit next time in the city centre

Excellent food . None alcohol venue. Ok for children 👍🤗🤠

Klasse Idee. Leckere Getränke. Essen war gut.

If I was to sum this up in one word, it would be - WowI had never been to The Brink before (and now I'm wondering why!) but an article about Vegan afternoon tea in the Liverpool Echo brought it to my attention and we decided to check it out.I called the day before to confirm and the lady I spoke to on the phone was fantastic, talking me through different options and going to check with the chef that they would have everything needed to provide me with a superb afternoon tea. Some cakes are bought in and some are made on site, so it's definitely worth booking ahead of time (believe me, you don't want to miss out on the yummy cakes!) but I definitely got the impression that they would do their best if you just turned up, but would be disappointed not to be able to offer you the best that they can doWhen we arrived we had a warm welcome and made ourselves comfortable, after ordering we took time looking around as there is so much to see, from artwork to a variety of services you can access at The Brink and elsewhere in Liverpool When our food arrived our eyes grew, surely all of this couldn't be for us? We had 3 types of sandwiches/wraps each (1 normal afternoon tea and 1 vegan afternoon tea) and lots of delicious cakes and scones, with the vegan cakes discreetly marked with a slice of strawberry - which I think is an excellent way of making it clear without being really obvious and making the vegan feel awkward! You could tell that everything had been freshly made and was of such high quality, you could tell the they had really put effort in to the vegan offerings and it was definitely not just an afterthought (as is unfortunately common when you can even find somewhere that has vegan options). From the way it was presented, to the thought and effort put in to each item, this is the best afternoon tea I've ever had, and believe me I've worked my way around plenty of them!We didn't manage to finish our afternoon tea, something I've never said before, but the staff happily gave us boxes to take it away in and we enjoyed it later. When it came to paying I thought that there was a mistake with the bill, at that price they must have only charged us for one afternoon tea? I was assured it was correct and just couldn't believe that they could provide such quantity, quality, service and variety for that cost, never mind actually make a profit on it too! I am a total bargain hunter and love getting value for money, but it felt criminal to walk out of there paying only what they were asking so I gave by far the biggest tip I've ever given and still walked out thinking I had a bargain! The staff were all made up with the tip, making sure all other members of staff knew too, they tried to refuse it but it was well deserved and WHEN (definitely not if!) I go back I would gladly do the same again

Good friendly staff. Roast dinner was a bit of a let down after reading previous reviews as it was raw broccoli and chicken was over cooked and was like frozen not fresh meat but the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding was lovely.

Brink es un gran lugar para relajarse y tomar algo de comer y beber.Hemos estado en varias ocasiones para apoyar el gran trabajo hecho aquí en proporcionar un sitio donde ir sin ser confrontado con alcohol.Pedimos el desayuno inglés completo y jamón y tortilla de hongos para almorzar con taza de té y una Coca-Cola light.Las bebidas eran buena comida entregaron calientes y recién preparado. Comer bien no es el lugar más lujoso pero buena calidad, pero eso es lo que cabe esperar.El personal siempre es amable, limpio y un buen lugar para relajarse y no sentirme presionado de ninguna manera.

Terrible place. According to what I found in the internet it seems that this WAS a good place but now it is just a hole. There was a (former?) drug addict running around; the cups we were brought have all been dirty; the food was of poor quality; the espresso was more an americano; the orange juice was made from powder; we should have left this place immediately!

Wonderful place with an excellent atmosphere. The music is eclectic and the food to die for. An alcohol free oasis in an area overcrowded with bars and pubs

Brilliant non alcoholic bar...great food!

Alcohol free bar. Great bohemian atmosphere.

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly service and delicious food

Amazing food in a relaxed place

Great little place you can chat , chill out read etc comfy chairs cool decor . Good food at a great price and the staff very friendly and helpful , well worth a visit .

Nice relaxing atmosphere Food is top notch & prices are brilliant for quality of food definitely be going back 👍

Atmosphere good. Food average non alcoholic. Good location. Toilets smell unfortunately- I think they need fixing.

Spot on. We took our kids, 6&4 for lunch. Really nice and atmosphere

Nice place to Pop in to if you're in Liverpool. Non alcoholic bar which is great if you don't drink x

Amazing food and an amazing idea! Staff were incredible. The visit from the new year dragon just topped off the whole experience, would definitely go back and 100% recommend!

Great food, great drinks, great service, great price! See you again!

Good Value food + drinks. Great non drinking venue.
