Buyers Club is an independent neighbourhood bar and pasta kitchen at 24 Hardman Street in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter. Its relaxed dining room and courtyard garden make it a flexible stop for lunch, pre theatre food, evening drinks or a longer meal with friends.
The kitchen makes pasta and sourdough bread from scratch each morning, grounding the menu in simple craft. Fresh pappardelle, rigatoni, tagliolini and spaghetti are matched with slow cooked meat, seafood or vegetable sauces, with recipes changing to reflect seasonal ingredients.
Neapolitan pizzas are made to order and sit alongside focaccia, antipasti and smaller plates. Vegetarian and adaptable vegan dishes are clearly represented, and gluten free pasta can be requested, allowing groups with different preferences to share the same informal Italian style of meal.
Natural wine is a particular focus at the bar, supported by cocktails and other drinks. The venue also offers private hire and click and collect pizza. As the kitchen works with gluten, dairy, nuts and other allergens, guests with dietary requirements should discuss the latest dishes and preparation arrangements before ordering.
Address: 24 Hardman Street, Liverpool L1 9AX, England
