The Mexican-inspired cantina returns to Cains Brewery Village this March

Picante is returning to Cains Brewery Village this spring, bringing the fun and fiery taste of Guadalajara to Liverpool. 

Launching on Friday 13 March, guests can expect incredible Mexican-inspired food, cocktails and entertainment. 

New additions for this year include a bottomless brunch offering, as well as bottomless wings on Wednesday, a Happy Hour from 8pm every day, and 20% off the back bar drinks every Thursday.

Picante will be showing World Cup games during June and July and daytime parties on the sun-kissed Más terrace will run through the summer, with externally promoted events and in-house sessions.

Picante’s Margarita Masterclasses will also be making a return. Hosted by Cocktail Kate, the sessions will take place on Saturdays and teach guests how to make perfect Margaritas in the space of 90 minutes, plus tequila tasting and quesadillas to round off the afternoon. 

Plus, one Friday per month, Picante is hosting Tequila Tasting Fridays to explore athree different types of tequila - Blanco, Reposado and Anejo.

The quartet behind Picante are a collective of the city’s independent hospitality figures uniting again, with Joe Wild (Taco or Don’t), Kate Meehan (Gin Journey, Paloma Café, London) Sally Jo Whitlow (Jenny’s Bar) and Danny Murphy (originally behind Jenny’s Bar, Berry & Rye, Aloha, Botanical Garden, and Some Place).

“The feedback has been truly wonderful since day one and we can’t thank everyone enough for their support for Picante. And now for 2026, we’re coming back bigger and better, with new dishes and cocktails to try, monthly Tequila Tasting Fridays sessions, Kate’s back with her Margarita masterclasses and we will have day parties up on the Más terrace. 

“We’re bringing back the high energy, fiery fun and warmly welcoming Picante vibes, perfect for the forthcoming spring and summer seasons - and hopefully we get lots of sunshine, too! Don’t forget Picante means spicy in Spanish, and that’s exactly what we’re all about, bringing the heat to Liverpool again from Friday March thirteenth.”

Following the launch weekend, Picante will be open every Wednesday to Sunday until the end of  September. For more information, follow Picante on Instagram here
