Camp and Furnace

Wait, I don’t think I’m in Brooklyn am I — that was a pretty quick trip from Manchester.
I’m hanging out in Liverpool’s new creative district The Baltic Triangle, an area that’s full of urban decay, industrial workshops and an ever increasing population of hipster bars and coffee places — it’s great :-)
Being a student in Liverpool, I could only dream of a place like C and F. When I left in 2004 it was definitely the era of the chain pub against the ‘actual rundown and grime’ venue — but since 2008 and Liverpool being capital of culture, there’s definitely a sense of renewed focus on reclaiming Liverpool’s past glories on the world stage.
I’m only stopping by for coffee — flat white (a bit too big for a flat white if the truth be known but looks like they’ve ‘double shot’ it, so it’s got a good taste) but the menu looks great with a meat heavy choice of options ranging from chorizo burgers to schnitzels and fish and chips (all mains are £8−11) beers on tap are Amstel and Heini but their craft beers make up for it!
The real reason u should make the 15 min walk from town is the décor — imagine a giant warehouse with random quality camping equipment, a giant furnace (surprisingly…) and loads of caravans — it’s that unique that its a place I’m looking forward to recommending to friends already.
The waitress was friendly and up for a chat (telling me more about what’s going on in the area) and I would really like to stay for food — damn that big breakfast I had this morning!
