A recent addition to Allerton Road, Ei8ht Wine Bar and Restaurant has a way of putting you in the mood for a relaxed dining experience. Perhaps it's the unusually comfortable sofas. Or is it the chic interiors? Maybe it's the college students in Liverpool who light up the place with their buoyancy and laughter. Whatever the reason, this is surely the place to keep in mind if you're looking for good food and friendly service in a sophisticated ambience at reasonable prices.

There are menus for the bar, restaurant, Sunday lunch and a two course evening special menu. The Norwegian Atlantic prawn salad, the Ei8ht breakfast, the goosnargh chicken breast and the British rib-eye steak are just a sample of the excellent food available here. There is a well stocked wine cabinet of course, apart from a wide selection of spirits, draught beers and cocktails. Come here for a business luncheon or before heading out to the city centre in the evening. Ei8ht even has its own London bus to help guests over to their next destination. An exceptionally warm gesture from a 21st century bar.
