Brass Monkey

It's been a while.. but I actually went out last night. Faye was leaving where I used to work so we went out for a meal & drinks. We went to The Club House up on Chavasse Park & drinks at Brass Monkey.

The Club House

We all thought The Club House was a pop up restaurant as it appeared last summer & looked temporary. As it's still here now definitely here to stay. The interior is really nice, set up like a nautical club house with telescopes, barrels, cupboards with old books & furniture. Shame I didn't take a picture but I'm sure I'll probably go back at some point.

The food really isn't me at all.. Burgers & kebabs. I ended up getting a burger as everyone else was.

Sex On the Beach - Vodka, melon & raspberry liqueur, pineapple & lemon juice, sugar syrup

BBQ Pulled Pork Burger with Sweet Potato Fries

It was nice, better than what I thought it was going to be. 

Brass Monkey

We went to Brass Monkey a little hidden cocktail bar which is down one of the side streets off Hanover Street behind Primark. It's really cute & cosy. It has swings inside, (people were already on them so couldn't get a photo on them) hanging umbrellas on the ceiling! 

They do food as well as drinks which I wanna try so will be coming back at some point & to get my photos on the swings!

I stayed for 1 drink & was home before 12. Been up since half 6 for work so ready for bed come 10, was well past my bed time! Joys of a full time job. It was nice to catch up since I left there before Christmas so not seen any of the girls since then.

The Brunch Club

I'm back after nearly a month away! It was nice to be away but so glad to be back home. So many blog posts lined up with photos that will be up hopefully within the next couple of weeks.

Today I went out for brunch with Danielle, Kelly & her boyfriend Josh. We went to The Brunch Club on Duke Street.

Vegetarian Breakfast

Full English Breakfast

Eggs Crab

Vegan Breakfast

Took a while for everyone to finally decide what they wanted, kinda wish I got the Duke Street Style Eggs now. I ended up getting the eggs crab which was nice, not much crab though, very small compared to everyone else's. I like going out for breakfast/brunch even though it's the simplest meal of the day to make, nice to know someone else has made it for you & cleaned up after you. Danielle went for the vegan option, Kelly veggie & Josh the full English.

After we decided to do The Complete Walk which is 37 plays, 37 screens, 37 screens around Liverpool City Centre showing celebrating Shakespeare as it's the 400th anniversary since his death. This is running throughout the weekend showing 37 short 10 minute films. The first one we went to was Romeo & Juliet in the Bluecoat. I've never seen it before & didn't know the story. The short film wasn't very good it was just the last 10 minutes of the story & the acting wasn't great, I didn't know what was going on Kelly had to explain the story to me. We then went to the Odeon but it was being shown in the foyer where they show trailers for new films so you couldn't stand there to the watch it or hear it. We ended up leaving & going to Chavasse Park as they we were having a Party in the Park to celebrate the Queen's 90.

It was a really nice day but so deceiving as it was freezing. Most definitely not shorts weather. The was a band stand playing music, free food given out by different restaurants, deck chairs, boat booths, free candy floss, free popcorn, competitions, ice cream van, face painting everything was going on.

Danielle had a lint roller in her bag to clean the grass off her jeans.

It was such a nice atmosphere just annoying it wasn't warm!

I got back just in time to watch the Everton v Manchester United FA Cup semi-final. So frustrating supporting Everton right now.  How we conceded a goal in the last couple of minutes just makes you want to rip your hair out. Not good enough, need to sort it out for the rest of the season.
