By mid afternoon Kylie Minogue is already blasting out from inside The Shakespeare on Williamson Square.
It’s a weekday but the small stretch of bars on the square's east side are often some of the city’s liveliest. They give Coopers, situated outside of Liverpool Central, a run for its money for a near round-the-clock offer of karaoke or pub singers.
The row of shaded passages to the side of the square are reflective of a more Bold Street-like, cosmopolitan Liverpool. In today’s warm weather, a spare table is hard to come by amongst the outdoor seating of numerous cafes.
