A husband and wife who transformed part of Liverpool's former Rapid Hardware store into a sleek and stylish café have expanded the business with a "secret" speakeasy bar.
Callum and Rachel Scott have a passion for design and development, and were keen to make their mark on Renshaw Street in Liverpool's thriving city centre. In December 2022, the couple opened the doors to Hardware Coffee & Kitchen.
The cool and contemporary space has been completely transformed from a "derelict" spot with "holes in the ceiling" to a vast, relaxing café offering healthy food and drinks on a central street that's rapidly expanding. There's exposed brick, large skylights flooding the space with natural light, hanging plants adding pops of vibrant green, and a nod to the building's past with old tools adorning one of the walls.
