A new American-flavored bar and restaurant is opening in the ever-bustling Hope Street area ahead of the busy summer season. In a prime location opposite one of the city’s most exclusive hotels and adjacent to the legendary Philharmonic Hall, this new venue for socializing, relaxing and meeting offers a relaxed atmosphere with a first-class service ethos .
Based in a cozy corner of the Georgian Quarter at 88 Hope Street, Smokey Joe’s bar, restaurant and grill serves American cuisine with a unique twist. With open hours, you can enjoy a delicious Americana breakfast like pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. Lunch takes guests to new heights with towering sandwiches, signature burgers, and deliciously stuffed jacket fries. Diners can enjoy platters of juicy steaks and ribs and smoky specials, followed by classic dessert favorites like sundaes before hitting the town. Our bespoke cocktails and extensive drinks menu are a refreshing addition to any meal, or can be enjoyed on their own.
To add to the relaxing atmosphere, Smokey Joe’s also hosts live music and is also a great place for sports fans to watch major live sporting events. This family and dog friendly hotel is all about inclusiveness, great value and the warm welcome that American venues are known for.
Bernie Stapleton, owner of Smokey Joe’s, commented:
When 88 Hope Street became available, I immediately wanted to bring Smokey Joe’s to this historic location. I already had a successful version in Spain and was part of a successful portfolio of bars, restaurants and venues across Europe.
The area already has its own distinct identity, and we know Smokey Joe’s will add something unique to the mix. In my experience, the highest quality, value for money menu always wins with customers, and that’s what Smokey Joe’s is all about. Our live music events aim to promote up-and-coming artists, from local bands to great talent based at nearby great universities and LIPA.
Due to our location, we are really looking forward to the graduation party this summer. Our casual approach will be greatly welcomed by families celebrating their child’s success. We offer a variety of healthy menus inspired by American greats, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and children’s options.
Music is a very important part of this city’s cultural identity and we look forward to providing a platform for both new and experienced artists. A live band is also a great way to come to Smokey Joe’s and celebrate the night with us.
When it comes to sport, you can’t be based in Liverpool without offering fans the opportunity to watch the best events. With Euro 2024 in June and the Paris Olympics in the summer, sports enthusiasts will find a relaxing space here at Smokey Joe’s.
Our restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a menu of casual American cuisine with friends, family, and colleagues. We are truly fortunate to have a top-notch team here at Hope Street. Everyone will feel at home here from the moment they walk in our door.
And we’re all about delicious, fresh food in a relaxed atmosphere, and our guests can rest assured that they’re guaranteed a good time and great food while with us. ”
