THE NUMBER ONE DIVE COCKTAIL BAR IN LIVERPOOL CITY CENTRE!

Welcome to Salt Dog Slims a late-night dive bar in the heart of Liverpool serving world beers, proper cocktails and American-style hot dogs.

You’ll find us on Seel Street, look for the hot dog sign to find us and then settle in for steins, brines and nights that usually end later than planned.

Our space takes its cues from old-school New York dive bars, exposed brick, graffiti, taxidermy and low lighting but with enough Liverpool attitude to keep things interesting. No dress code, no pretence, just good drinks and a place you’ll probably end up staying longer than you meant to.

We pour quality beers by the stein, sling loaded hot dogs into soft brioche buns and keep the cocktails coming all night. Whether you’re here for a quick drink, starting the night properly or somehow ending up here after everywhere else, we’ve got something behind the bar for you.

Expect classics done right, house favourites worth coming back for and cocktails that don’t take themselves too seriously. Sweet, smoky, spicy, strong, order your usual or try something new.

When the Liverpool weather decides to play nice, our outdoor seating area is the perfect spot to settle in with a stein or a cocktail or two.

Whether you’re catching up with friends, kicking off a night out or just fancy enjoying a drink in the fresh air, we’ve got space waiting for you outside. Grab a stein, order a hot dog and settle in.

And if you know where to look, there’s more…

Step out of Salt Dog Slims and into 81 LTD, our hidden prohibition-style speakeasy where the lights are low, the drinks are strong and our bartenders know exactly what they’re talking about.

Whether you fancy shaking up the classics or getting properly nerdy about whiskey, our cocktail masterclasses are all about good drinks, good stories and learning a few tricks you’ll actually remember.

Hosted by one of our experienced bartenders (the kind who can talk cocktails all night without sounding like they’re reading from a textbook), every session is hands-on, relaxed and designed for everyone, from complete beginners to people who already think they make a decent Old Fashioned.

(minimum 6 guests)

Learn how to mix, shake and build some of the world’s best-loved cocktails while getting the inside track on techniques, flavour combinations and what actually makes a great drink.

Perfect for groups, date nights, birthdays or anyone looking to level up their cocktail order.

(Minimum 6 guests)

For the whiskey lovers.

Our Old Fashioned Masterclass takes a deep dive into one of the most iconic cocktails ever made. You’ll learn how to balance whiskey, bitters and sugar properly (and why the details matter), explore different flavour profiles and build your own version of the perfect Old Fashioned.

Less gimmicks, more great drinks.

(Minimum 6 guests)

We let the dogs out, and there’s no going back. Salt Dogs does classic brines right, and why wouldn’t we? With the perfect combo of vibe, tunes and cocktails, it’s only fair the scran is up to par.

Stick with the Classic Dog and get stuck into ketchup, mustard and crispy onions. Dare a friend to tackle the Atomic Dog served with f**kin hot sauce and see if you can win a fiver. Or, for a fast food twist that raises the bar, try Le Big Mac: you’ll never go back.

Our vibe made us famous. Our dogs made us legendary. For a stein and a brine, no matter the weather, Salt Dog Slims is waiting to serve up the city’s ultimate scran. Vegetarian and vegan options are available!

Most quizzes are boring, but not ours.

Salt Dog’s Stein, Brines and Question Times is the ultimate way for Liverpool brainiacs to blow off steam. It’s weird and wonderful: the night out you never knew you needed.

Our quiz takes place on the first Tuesday of every month and sees Salt Dogs regulars take on a range of wacky rounds. If your friend is annoying you, don’t worry: you can turn them into a toilet paper mummy in our interactive round.

With plenty of souvenirs to be won, you’ll remember Stein, Brines and Question Times fondly, whether that’s because you’re going home with a dildo, meal deal or toaster.

Big birthday? Work drinks? Christmas party? Or just looking for an excuse to get everyone in one place?

Whatever you’re celebrating, don’t leave it to chance, make the night yours.

At Salt Dog Slims, we offer private hire packages across both our main bar and hidden speakeasy 81 LTD, giving you everything from full-blown late-night energy to something a little more low-lit and under the radar.

Take over Salt Dog Slims for world beers by the stein, cocktails flowing all night and hot dogs fresh from the kitchen. Or head upstairs to 81 LTD for a more intimate prohibition-style setting, complete with expertly made drinks and serious hidden-bar energy.

Whether you’re planning a birthday, work social, Christmas party, launch event or just gathering your favourite people together, we’ll help build a package that works for your night, without making it feel like every other function room in the city.
