Liquorish has just started opening during the day on weekdays to cater to parents and babies. I went today with my NCT group and found it to be a really chilled out place with good drinks, good food, and a baby friendly atmosphere (incl baby videos and toys on hand to entertain little ones). The new owner - it changed ownership last month after receiving poor hygene ratings - is himself a parent, and always open to suggestions for how to make the place as comfortable as possible for babies/parents. Check it out!
Yep, we were in there too this afternoon - just happened to be walking past and saw the sign outside. Very well done, owner seemed really enthusiastic and a nice friendly guy too. Nice selection of toys, kept my little boy entertained for long enough for Mr Pickle and I to enjoy a drink. Well done Liquorish!

Yes, great news for the mothers of the babies. However I think mightyroar has summed up its appeal quite succinctly when she said "I managed a whole hour of ignoring my child whilst talking to my adult friend. Result!" There's a great product Liquorish may be interested in dispensing from behind the bar, called Upspring Baby Milk Test Kit, available from amazon, which allows you to test your breast milk for alcohol on a rapid result strip before feeding. I fear though that with untended babies on the premises that the staff and other customers are going to take the brunt as thoughts of a quiet lunchtime go out the window. Good Luck

Milk Alcohol test kit

Interesting take on things there Superberry!


Firstly... from speaking to the owner of Liquorish, they weren't previously open during the day. So no established "non baby" clientele to annoy. In fact they're marketing the opening directly at Mums and children, that's the choice they've made, not one that's being forced on them by people with kids.


Secondly... why assume that the Mums in there are drinking alcohol? Or breastfeeding for that matter? Personally I had an orange juice as am feeding a small baby. Some of the other Mums in there at the time had significantly older children, so I doubt that the milk testing kit would be necessary.


Why am I not surprised that as soon as there's a positive thread regarding a nice new place for local Mums to go to there's someone posting negatives?!

Bubsy and I have been going the last couple of days and its great. Fantastic wooden train set and other toys. They have a new back garden too!


I have to say that the ethos of the place seems much more orientated towards whole leaf tea and trendy teapots, not the cocktails that they are known for at night.


We had lunch there yesterday, the best Caesar Salad I have ever had.


The only negative that I can see is there is no space for them to install a baby changer :( but there are secluded areas where you can do a quick change.

Brilliant!!!>:D<

I agree whole heartedly with SuperBerry, there's nothing that makes my blood boil more than seeing mothers looking relaxed. If they aren't wearing a look of grim forbearance at all times then they either just don't love their children, or they could love them more if they weren't so selfish. Maybe we could force them to hand in their allowance at the Police Station between Mondays and Fridays?

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
