El Bandito

Decent drinks and the space has a lovely simple vibe. When we arrived there was a bulldog sitting at the bar visibly slobbering on it; other punters turned up and left upon seeing this. At one point the dog farted and the barman sprayed airfreshener all over the place- the taste of Lysol remained with us for a long time after. The opposite of a vibe.

The best bar in Liverpool by a mile, been going there for years and always have a blast. The service on the whole is great apart new bartender who has been consistently rude and short with me every time I order with her, her drinks also are no where near the standard compared to when the other bar staff make them. Disappointing, but won’t stop me going to this absolute gem in Liverpool city centre.

the best cocktail bar i’ve seen in liverpool, great music and sound blokes behind the bar. Just been disappointed with the new woman that’s been employed behind the bar. Had quite a few bad experiences of her being unnecessarily rude to me and my mates. will deffo be returning just with my fingers crossed that she isn’t there.

If you’re into tequila, El Bandito is an absolute must in Liverpool. Julio behind the bar really knows his stuff – he took the time to talk me through the tequila options and helped me pick the perfect drink. The balance was spot on, and I could really taste the quality. At first, the dingy vibes were a little disorienting, but over time it’s become part of the place's charm. It has this underground feel that just works for the atmosphere. I love bringing people to El Bandito when they're new to Liverpool, and every time, they’re always impressed by the drinks and the vibe. Julio’s expertise is always a highlight. Whether you're a tequila enthusiast or not, you’re guaranteed to have a great time here. Can't recommend it enough!

Great little underground tequila bar, came here with a group of friends, got greeted and served right away we all got a different cocktail bartender didn’t even bat an eyelid, i had the TLC no shrubs 👌🏼 shout out to paige and hulio!

Visited the evening of 20.11.24, I'd been before but this evening was the best experience I've had here. We received advice on which cocktails to get from Annon, who was a delight in helping us what to choose and telling us the history of the bar. Would highly recommend!

Brilliant little place to start the night off if you can find it. Hidden in plan sight but definitely worth the visit. Recommend Blood, Sand and Suspicious Parents! Will knock you on your arse. Friendly and helpful bar staff which is always a plus!

Asked for 6 shots of their cheapest tequila with a group of friends. Asked at the bar that it wasn't too expensive, but didn't mention a price. Guy at the bar said nah nah not at all. Got charged £30. Very cynical place, no fun getting ripped off.
