How to soak up the sunshine on the dock

Al fresco dining

With panoramic views of the water, the dock is the perfect place to enjoy a long lunch or a golden-hour meal outdoors. Soak up the sun at restaurants like Maray, Gusto, Rosa’s Thai and Lunyalita, to name a few, where outdoor seating lets you make the most of the weather while tucking into summer specials.

Ice cream o’clock

When the sun’s out, ice cream is a must. Treat your tastebuds to a scoop (or two) from Real Dairy Ice Cream for classics with a nostalgic nod. It’s just the thing to keep everyone smiling on a sunny stroll. Go for a timeless vanilla or chocolate, or try something fruity and refreshing like raspberry ripple or mint choc chip.

Chase the sun

Looking for the perfect sun trap? You’ll find it here! Spots like What’s Cooking, The Long Shot, and Revolution all boast outdoor seating that soaks up the sun. The ultimate backdrop for sunny socials, spontaneous get-togethers, and sunset moments, these spots are made for sunshine-filled pit stops.

Enjoy a waterborne adventure

Make the most of the weather by hopping aboard Splash Tours, a unique way to see Royal Albert Dock and Liverpool’s waterfront. Get ready for an unforgettable splashdown into the dock before smoothly transitioning onto land to explore the city streets in an amphibious vehicle.

Sip sundowner cocktails 

Golden hour hits different on the dock, especially with a cocktail in hand. Head to a selection of our bars, including The One O’Clock Gun and Revolution, for an unbeatable view of the sun dipping below the horizon, paired with laid-back vibes and a great cocktail selection.

Have a spin on the carousel 

A visit to the dock isn’t complete without a whirl on our vintage carousel. Whether you’re visiting with little ones or just feeling nostalgic, it’s a joyful, photo-worthy moment right on the waterfront.
