Bold Street
Liverpool's most characterful food street, lined with independent cafés, small restaurants from around the world and vintage shops. At its end is the bombed-out St Luke's Church.
Bold Street climbs uphill from Central Station to St Luke's Church. It was a fashionable shopping street in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today it is known for independent cafés, Middle Eastern and Asian restaurants, vegetarian shops, vintage clothing and record stores, making it the favorite eating and drinking street of locals. At the top, St Luke's Church was gutted during the air raids of 1941, leaving only its outer walls. It is known as the “bombed-out church” and now serves as a venue for events and exhibitions. The nearby Ropewalks district has even more bars and independent shops.
