Salon Madre Liverpool

On Hanover Street in the heart of Liverpool ONE, Salon Madre Liverpool channels the electricity of a Mexican pool hall into a lively bar, taqueria and late-night hangout. Created by the team behind the Madre restaurants, it blends tequila-led cocktails, Mexican street food and social gaming for an upbeat, freewheeling night out in the city centre.

Food is bold, bright and built for sharing. Tacos come stuffed with pork al pastor with pineapple and salsa verde, or pollo verde with Salsa Madre; there are burritos and gringas for bigger appetites, and wings slicked in Mexican cola or fired up Yucatan buffalo-style. Cadillac Nachos land piled high with totopos, cheese sauce, house salsas, refried beans and guacamole, while elote brings that charred, creamy hit of chipotle mayo and parmesan. It is casual, finger-licking fare that keeps pace with the drinks and the games.

Those drinks skew decisively agave: classic and frozen margaritas, palomas and Mexican beers, plus house favourites like Tommy's Margarita and the Mezcalita, riffing on Tapatío, Siete Misterios, agave and lime. Around the room, multiple pool tables and dart boards set the tone, with big screens lighting up sports and the spectacle of Lucha Libre wrestling. With space for groups and late-night gatherings, this is central Liverpool’s spot to chalk a cue, raise a glass and settle in. Round up the crew and dive in for tacos and tipples — game on till the last lime is squeezed.
