Alma de Cuba
Alma de
Cuba is not just another restaurant and bar. As the name
suggests, Alma de Cuba captures the "Soul of Cuba".
An island,
beautiful and yet bruised by fate, Cuba has cast aside her troubles
and remains one of the most memorable places on earth - a melting
pot for African, Spanish, French, English and American culture.
That is the inspiration for
Alma de Cuba - an island in the heart of Liverpool, an independent
spirit that leaves a lasting impression.
Set inside the magnificent conversion of the
former Catholic church St Peters, Alma de Cuba is all about an
eclectic mix of Cuban, Hispanic and Latin American influences added
to Liverpool's own great spirit.
The original church was opened on the
7th of September in 1788. It served as a Catholic
building for 188 years until 1976, after which it served the local
Polish community for a short time. For this reason it is still
today affectionately referred to as 'the Polish
Church'.
Until its closure in 1978, St. Peter's was the
oldest surviving Catholic Church in Liverpool. After a period of
disuse, the building was taken over by Urban Splash and is now the
internationally acclaimed ultra stylish restaurant and bar, Alma de
Cuba run by TGI.
Its Latin inspired menu is spiced up with flavours
from all around the world mixed with the delightful South American
and Caribbean inspired cocktails and the up-beat Latin influenced
rhythms create an unforgettable experience.
