Cafe Bar N'ista

If you're kicking about Birkdale Village and fancy a bite, Cafe Bar N'ista is a solid shout. It's got a cracking 4.6 stars on Google from nearly 300 reviews, so you know it's not just me saying it's decent. They're open late most nights, even midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, which is handy if you've been out for a few scoops.

It's got a bit of a buzz about it, without being too rowdy – suits both couples wanting a relaxed evening and families grabbing an early dinner. They do a bit of everything on the food front, so everyone should find something they fancy. It’s not the cheapest place in town, price wise I'd say it's a mid-range spot – but the quality is usually pretty good.

The staff are always sound, and the atmosphere is usually pretty lively. It's definitely one of the better places in Birkdale for a bit of atmosphere. I've been a few times with the Mrs and we’ve always had a good time.

Worth giving them a ring on 01704 808283 to book a table, especially if you're thinking of going on a Friday or Saturday night – it gets pretty busy.
