The Baltic Triangle
An area known for its creative vibe and dog-friendly venues, the Baltic Triangle is the perfect place to visit in Liverpool. Set in one of the warehouses of the old Cains Brewery, the Baltic Market houses the best of Liverpool’s growing indie food vendor scene, made even better by the fact that it’s dog-friendly. The vendors are regularly changing to keep things fresh, but you can expect to get your paws on stone-baked pizzas, halloumi fries, fried chicken and everything else in between! Saturday nights here usually see a live band providing the music or their resident DJ on the decks.
While you’re in the Baltic Triangle, make sure to stop by the famous Love Lane Brewery to sample Liverpool’s most loved craft ales. They even give pets their own Love Lane bowl to drink from! The perfect pit stop to give your canine companion a rest after exploring the market.
