John and Matt, the visionary founders of GSG, along with their talented team, have made it their mission to redefine Liverpool’s dynamic dining and cocktail scene. From independent coffee shops to high-end cocktail bars, and a restaurant experience in a market environment, their goal has always been to position Liverpool as a top destination for food lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike.
The group currently operates 13 successful venues across Liverpool and Manchester and even more locations in development. The founders’ original ambition continues to inspire the dedicated professional teams who bring these bold concepts to life, delivering exceptional service, high-quality food and drinks, and constant innovation – all driven by a passion for hospitality.
At GSG, pride is taken in developing every aspect of the brand in-house, from project planning and menu creation to interior design and the daily operations of their venues. Their teams work hard to ensure each guest enjoys an unforgettable experience. The company is also committed to providing continuous professional development and training, supporting staff as they grow alongside the expanding business.
In 2022, GSG introduced Bold Street Coffee at The Plaza, part of Bruntwood’s Pioneer building in Liverpool. The previous year saw the opening of Salt Dog Slims and Bold Street Coffee in Manchester. With more venues on the horizon in both cities, the future of GSG Hospitality is looking incredibly exciting, and the team is eager to unveil what’s next.
