About Liverpool Gin Distillery
Liverpool Gin Distillery is a bar on Castle St in Liverpool, with a gin bar upstairs and a Dark Spirits bar downstairs. A large copper still sits at the side of the bar. The Gin Lab experience lets guests create their own gin and take a bottle home, and the recipe stays on file so they can call back for refills. A gin tasting tour serves tasters with accompanying tonics and garnishes, and the gins come with Fever-Tree tonics and edible flowers. Rose Petal gin, Liverpool Organic Gin and Valencia orange gin are among those poured. Food runs to flatbreads, wings and fries, alongside cocktails. The bar operates on a walk-in basis.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the gin lab experience, where visitors learn about botanicals and distill their own bottle to take home, guided by staff described as knowledgeable and friendly. One reviewer's sister with severe sight problems was helped through the process. A gin tasting tour earns similar praise, with tasters served alongside tonics and garnishes, and the large copper still beside the bar is singled out. The gin bar is praised for its stylish decor, a live band and spotless toilets. Among the gins, the Rose Petal and Valencia orange impress, one pairing with Fever-Tree Elderflower Tonic and edible flowers, while one reviewer finds the original a bit average. The main complaint comes from a Saturday night visitor who found the door staff intimidating, continually staring at patrons despite a friendly crowd, and doubts returning on a Saturday. One lab visitor notes the recipe is kept on file, so they can call back for refills.

“Loved our gin lab experience! My friend and I visited in June to do this as part of my 50th birthday celebrations and we just absolutely loved it! Facilitated by the fabulous Meg, we learned about gin and what botanicals are needed and all the different variations to create our very own bottle of gin! One of the best experiences ever, thank you Meg! X”

“Went on Saturday night The Gin Bar is very stylishly decorated, finished to a very high standard. The staff are polite the band playing were excellent l, the drinks reasonably priced and of very high standard. The toilets which is to me a tell tale marker of cleanliness were spotless. One down side were the door staff, they seemed to want to intimidate the patrons continually walking in and out staring at people. This really was not needed as the atmosphere was light hearted and friendly. This was very off putting and I doubt if I’d go in on a Saturday again.”

“We had the gin lab experience with Bailey, and it was great! We could create our own gin and take a bottle of it back home. Bailey was very friendly and shared a lot of history about gin. 10/10 would recommend!”

“This was by keeps and bounds the best shore visit we have ever done! We booked the Gin Lab experience in advance and could not have been happier! We got to distill our own bottle and they will keep the recipes on file, so we can call back for refills! Dan was an amazing guide! 10 of 10 would recommend for a fun, unique and memorable experience!”

“Stopped in for a couple of drinks while out and about in town and we were very impressed. The bar itself is impressive, has a really nice layout and feels like you could be in London or New York (but better you're in Liverpool). The gins and gin-based cocktails were really good! The guys behind the bar were so friendly as well and made top recommendations. I'd happily visit again if in the area.”
