The Dale Street venue was only open for around a year
Dale Street has a number of similar venues along it
A venue in Liverpool city centre has closed without a word. The Brunch Bar, found on Dale Street, has shut up shop with the business now being listed as permanently closed on Google.
The venue found on the city’s unofficial brunch street, was a newer spot compared to the longstanding Moose Coffee and Nude Lifestyle Kitchen found a stone’s throw away. The brand prided itself on serving cooked breakfasts, coffee and café food and was complete with contemporary decor.
The Brunch Bar hasn’t been opened for a number of weeks with the ECHO visiting to find out why. Each time there has been no one on site and all the furniture appears to remain untouched. The ECHO also tried to reach out to The Brunch Bar for further information.
The ECHO previously took a look at Liverpool’s Dale Street and how you are positively spoiled for choice if you fancy stopping for a hearty brunch. In years gone by, going out for breakfast would have typically meant a trip to a greasy spoon for a Full English fry-up, washed down with a mug of tea.

But now the city’s brunch scene is so well established that customers can order everything from spicy shakshouka to breakfast burgers. And this city street has carved out a position for itself as the go-to location for brunch fans, whether they’re tourists visiting the city or locals looking for a delicious breakfast.
It is home to a number of amazing brunch spots, and you can barely walk a couple of paces down the street before stumbling upon yet another quaint café or trendy breakfast bar.
Right at the top end of Dale Street, the eponymous Dale Street Kitchen was once crowned Liverpool’s best-loved brunch by reviewers on TripAdvisor.
Owner Mr Shino launched the site just before the coronavirus lockdown, but despite a tough start, he said the turnaround had been “fantastic”.

Speaking to the ECHO, he said: “2020 was a difficult time to be honest, it was tough, but we managed. It was hard for everybody, not just for us.”
Reflecting on his number one spot on the online review platform, he said: “I think many factors place us in the number one spot, not just the food or the service or the location, it’s everything combined. From the moment you enter the place to a complete service.”
Mr Shino also pointed to the concentration of hotels on Dale Street as a factor that has contributed to the growth of the area’s brunch scene.
He said: “When the football is on the full English is going to be the biggest order, we get a lot of Scandinavian tourists wanting to try the breakfast, but then we get a lot of tourists wanting to try the eggs benedict or avocado toast.
“Dale Street is home to so many hotels so that brings a lot of customers because it’s so convenient.” He added: “It’s the city that makes it the great space, not just the tourism, it’s the locals that keep pushing it and supporting it.”
