Baltic Triangle Liverpool UK

The hip and trendy Baltic Triangle near the Liverpool docks is evolving. Digital entrepreneurs, musicians and artists are transforming warehouses in the once seedy district into creative play spaces and fresh-style venues attracting millennials, hipsters and now tourists.

Adjacent to the Queens and Wapping docks, the name pays tribute to the fleet of Scandinavian seafarers who passed through Liverpool in the late nineteenth century. The term ‘scouse’, used today to describe a Liverpool local, short for ‘lobscouse’ came from the original Norwegian ‘Lapskaus’, which is a meat and potato stew.

In the sixties, the Cavern Quarter district was the rage. Named after Liverpool’s famous live-music club and birthplace of Merseybeat, it was the city’s artistic nucleus. Fast-forward fifty-seven years and the Baltic Triangle is morphing into a new urban creative cluster.

This innovative crowd eat, drink and play in communal spaces such as the cavernous but comfy ‘Camp and Furnace.’  It’s a no-frills venue stretching a whole city block that advertises itself as ‘a restaurant, bar, ‘fanpark,’ conference venue and cultural hangout.’ Link a former Edwardian foundry, a coachbuilder’s yard and a blade-making factory and you get a radical site. Throw in a roaring fire, some vintage caravans and an indoor forest hung with fairy lights and its unique.

Unleash your inner medieval with their ‘Roast’ on Sundays. Waiters bring un-carved joints of meat and organic roast chickens on wooden boards, with all the trimmings to your communal trestle table where you share with mates and family. Wash down with a Brown Bear, their signature craft beer, accompanied by a roaring fire.

Pop-up events like ‘Guilty Pleasures’, a mega party complete with a confessional booth or the ‘Biggest Fattest Football Quiz’ will bring out your social and if music festivals are your thing, they host, among others, ‘Psycfest’ and Summercamp.’
