Friends Anthony Miles and Terrance Foster have teamed up to bring their idea to life\"TerryTerry Foster, one of the owners of The Experience cocktail bar in Waterloo<\/p>\n

Just 20 minutes from what is arguably Liverpool’s favourite holiday destination, Benidorm, you will find L\u2019Albir. After flying into Alicante<\/a>, some make the journey to the compact coastal resort to enjoy its beach, explore the natural park, visit the lighthouse and dabble in the local markets.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you are one of those who have done so, you might have come across The Experience Lounge Bar. The venue is the idea of Anthony Miles, who opened it a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to today and the same brand can be found on South Road in Waterloo<\/a>. Located at number 24, the second location has only been open for a number of weeks, but according to co-owner Terrance Foster it has been a success so far.<\/p>\n

Terrance, 33, from West Derby<\/a>, told the ECHO:<\/a> \u201cThe last two weekends have been busy but we are still working on establishing ourselves and getting our name out there. Anthony and I have been friends for a while now; we met in Dubai. It made sense to use both of our experiences.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been in the industry since I was a teenager, about 15. I started as a glass collector and worked my way up to a manager role. Now, to be my own boss is amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Together, the pair invested \u00a3200,000 into making their idea became a reality. Terrance, a former Heaven nightclub DJ<\/a> who lives in Crosby<\/a>, explained how they received the keys back in August and a huge overhaul began immediately.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt was a full refurbishment. We ripped everything out and gave it a completely new design. It’s now classy and elegant, both combined in a sleek finished setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a vision for a few months, but to see it in the end, and all our ideas come to life, is amazing. It is my baby, really. I started at the bottom and now I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Terrance recognises it is a highly competitive industry but he hopes that his late twist on a happy hour, will keep customers coming back to the 90-capacity venue.<\/p>\n

From 11pm to 12am The Experience has its \u201cGolden Hour\u201d were cocktails are \u00a36.50, bottled beer is \u00a32.75 and a glass of prosecco is \u00a35. To localise the original-Spanish brand, Terrance has created some signature drinks including The Scouse Bird, Our Kid and Let it Be.<\/p>\n

This kitchen is due to open in December, and with weekends filled with live Terrance believes the brand to thrive in Waterloo.<\/p>\n

The Experience, opened to 3am every weekend, is found at 24 South Road, Waterloo, L22 5PQ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Friends Anthony Miles and Terrance Foster have teamed up to bring their idea to lifeTerry Foster, one of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":509765,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,8899,16,15,14145],"class_list":{"0":"post-509764","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-liverpool-restaurants","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-waterloo"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115395979908556706","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509764\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/509765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
