REMEMBER THAT WELL-KNOWN SAYING AMONGST CHEFS THAT YOU EAT WITH YOUR EYES FIRST? WELL THESE DAYS IT SEEMS THAT WE ALL EAT (AND DRINK) WITH OUR IPHONES FIRST, WITH WHOLE MAGAZINE ARTICLES BEING DEVOTED TO THE MOST INSTAGRAMMABLE BARS AND RESTAURANTS.
Personally, here at His & Hers, we think it’s nice to enjoy a night out without a smartphone every once in a while and we can quite happily walk past a pink wall, Moroccan tiles or veined marble surface without our minds turning immediately to capturing it for the ‘gram.
However, we do love a really good looking bar and restaurant. And The Florist, which will open on 23rd April on the site of the former Old Blind School pub on Hardman Street is about to turn some heads.
In brief, the Georgian architecture is beautiful, the floral installations are pretty special, too, there’s a dash of neon to give the interior design scheme just enough edge and the food and drinks look so immaculate that you’ll almost certainly want to take pictures. Suffice to say, you’ll be seeing some pictures of The Florist on our Instagram account soon, because they have eye-catching design details for days and no matter how much we enjoy the occasional digital detox, we’re not made of stone!
About the Florist:
With an abundance of flowers flowing throughout the beautiful venue, key features include a stunning entrance hall with two full-size in-bloom trees. There will also be a floral photo-wall, taking centre stage at the top of the grand staircase. Predicted to be the most photographed bar in Liverpool, the unique venue has undergone a complete transformation and will be unrecognisable from its previous self.
From the moment visitors step into The Florist, they will be transported into a fairy tale, thanks to the impressive décor and artwork. Contemporary artist Gemma Compton and graffiti artist Jody Thomas have also been hand-picked to create bespoke pieces for the new Liverpool site – thanks to the overwhelming reception their previous work received. Harmonious with The Florist brand, their work aims to create a sensory experience to enchant the senses.
The Florist is a stay all day and night hang out, offering customers a vibrant food menu, a spectacular menu of instagrammable cocktails, nightly DJ’s andsaxophonists to take the tempo up to a sophisticated party atmosphere.
General Manager of The Florist, Joel Lee, said “The Florist needs be seen to be believed in terms of how pretty and light the site has now become. We know it is going to become the place to be in Liverpool and we can’t wait to open. We have so much to offer, from the extensive cocktail menu inspired by the three key styles of floristry: English Summer Garden, Ikebana and Modern Contemporary, with herbal twists taken fresh from the garden. 60 hand-picked beers and a vibrant food menu, consisting of mouth-watering deli, rotisserie and grill-inspired dishes, with plenty of gluten free, dairy free and vegan options to cater for all. We will also be open for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 9.30am.
“For a really special experience, we are offering sensory enhancing masterclasses in the crafts of cocktails, floristry, gin and ale tastings.”
