Liverpool's 34 best beer gardens to try on a sunny day

The warmer weather is making its much-anticipated return and that means beer gardens are an option once again.

Despite spells of rain in recent weeks, the sun is finally shining down on us and getting us all in the mood for a pint or pitcher of Pimm's. Nothing beats venturing out to a beer garden, whether it's for an al-fresco pub lunch or an after-work tipple, there's nothing better than sitting outside with your friends and family.

Liverpool has no shortage of incredible bars, pubs and restaurants and many boast large gardens, roof terraces and little sun traps to enjoy a few drinks in the summer sun. The city's stellar drinks scene sees hoards of students, countless hen and stag dos, and an abundance of tourists travelling to Merseyside to experience the thrills and fun on offer here.
