City bar criticised after advertising 'Titan submarine' cocktail hours before five people found dead

A Liverpool bar appeared to advertise a themed cocktail surrounding the tragic Titan submersible.

Ex-directory, a secret cocktail bar on Vernon Street in the city centre, posted an Instagram reel on its page of an alcoholic drink called 'Merseygate'. The post also had hashtags including "#oceangate, #titanic #cocktailoftheweek" and also included horror themed music.

The cocktail bar also posted to its Instagram stories of a poll asking its customers to guess the theme of this week's cocktails. In the background is a blue drink surrounded by a toy Titanic, with what appears to be submarines with Liverpool written on them, bubbles, a bubble machine and other underwater objects.
