About Clockworks Restaurant
Clockworks Liverpool offers breakfast, lunch and dinner, specialising in twisted British classics, but sticking to what they do well – classic food and cocktails. The food is sometimes a little indulgent, but always comforting, tasty and entirely traceable. The way food should be. Clockworks kitchen makes everything from scratch, using only the finest ingredients and never cuts corners on quality.
Our building has stood for over 200 years and it was fundamental to us to create an interior that reflected that history. With the combination of exposed red brick, steel and iron we have managed to create a comfortable and unique look back into a twisted industrial era. Open from 9am until late serving Liverpool’s growing brunch and dinner needs right through to the evening providing a cosy cocktail bar ambiance.
