Several much-loved Liverpool pubs and restaurants have been forced to close their doors over the last few months.
The cost of living crisis is having a devastating impact on the hospitality sector, with rising costs meaning some businesses have sadly been unable to survive. Coupled with the impact of the Covid pandemic, many restaurants and bars are being pushed to closure.
So far this year several pubs, bars and restaurants in the city have already closed, with venues warning that more will be at risk during the winter months. The summer has seen the closure of venues such as Santa Chupitos, The Baltic Social and Frost Burgers.
