Dozens of treasured Liverpool restaurants and bars have closed in the last year, as the cost-of-living crisis continues to impact a wide range of businesses, including popular chains and much loved independents.
Despite being just six weeks into 2025, several popular restaurants in and around Liverpool have already announced their closures this year, including Almost Famous, The Italian Club Fish and Café du Quartier.
The recent closures add to an already extensive list of businesses we lost in 2024, with the likes of Crazy Pedro’s and The Florist saying goodbye to the city - despite appearing to be as popular as ever.
