Red's True Barbecue - Liverpool


Besides up on a lift in a garage, where are you going to see a Bedford CF up in the air? At Red's True Barbecue in Liverpool... This place has got some cool decor including a old rusty red CF that you can dine underneath. I suppose the engine was removed so you won't get any drops of motor oil on your steak. I found a bunch of photos on instagram. The place seems very popular and the food is good. A place to visit if your in Liverpool.
