Metquarter

luv it, luv it, luv itlurve all the shops in hereit just has a feeling of glamour 2 itshop till u drop atmospherexxxx

It’s a pleasure to walk round the Met, take your purse with you as you wont find Primark in here. haha
Slightly more up market stores which of course bring a higher price tag.
It feels clean and airy, its a nice change to wandering round the likes of St Johns.
The toilets here are beautifully clean. Always a pleasure to have a pee here,
the cleaner deserves a medal as its polished enough to see your reflection on the toilet roll holders. :-P
Though I do think that it could be down to less people trawling in and out of the toilets like in a more commonly used shopping centre, so less likely to get ‘misused’ .
some lovely things to buy if you have a bit of cash and good taste.

The Metquarter was to represent the changing face of modern Liverpool, encapsulating the city’s passion for cutting edge fashion trends, Britian’s consumer culture within a fresh, striking environment. Then the credit crunch hit.
Of course things at the Metquarter are still ticking along and the place still looks as modern and fresh as when it opened a couple of years ago but it’s not quite as busy as it once was. Liverpool1 has taken most of the limelight and few are splashing out on designer labels but if you can then this is the place to look for Armani, Flannels, Hugo Boss and Links.

The Met Quarter is another of Liverpool’s many small shopping centres and is located opposite the tourism information centre 08 place and I believe these two work in harmony with one another.
The aesthetics of the place are very nice both outside and in, this is important as you want to feel both relaxed and confident in the places you intend to spend your hard earned cash. This place is a little off the centre of town and as such is a tiny bit quieter which is also a good thing as you can peruse the stores in relative peace and harmony.
The staff here are great and very attentive in all of the stores within and as such you just get a really nice shopping experience. This place feels a bit upmarket and can be a tad pricey but it is generally worth the extra cash.
On the whole a pleasant centre with a nice feel and good staff.

I’m sorry to say I think Metquarter is naf. The building itself is hideous– just a huge concrete block to navigate around on your way to better shops, affordable cafes or the train home. It’s rubbish, and other than using the, albeit very fancy, toilets or the cash machine (which I have now given up on, it is always empty and should just be called «machine») I never have any need to go in here.
Once upon a time I visited Costa Coffee around once a month with various people, but the novelty just wore off; the comfy sofas disappeared, the shoppers dwindled and I realised it was just Costa in a pretty skanty precinct, yes, it’s better looking than St John’s, but it’s so overrated. Thumbs down. I could think of lots of better things the developer’s money could have been spent on in Liverpool.
One highlight I saw Janice Dickinson filming in here once, and attained front ow seats to a catwalk show quite by accident.
Most of the time though, it’s boring.

The Met Quarter sounds like a pretty cool retail and leisure development but quarter or not I was wholly disappointed its just another shopping parade –the forth largest in the city. The quarter building used to be Liverpool’s central Post Office but £100 million later and here we are. Their slogan «be different» doest really apply to some of the brands that are simply everywhere such as Café Rouge, Costa, Paperchase, Vidal Sassoon and a bucket load of jeans brands. That said there are enough unusual quality labels to make this place worth a visit. Its been compared to Bond Street in London and I don’t shop there either. You will be pleased to know they have a Facebook page with 3 fans so there is quite a buzz about this place.

How times change!
A few years ago, Metquarter was Liverpool’s most stylish and popular shopping centre. A firm favourite with local celebs and footballers, it was hard to move on a weekend without being knocked over by crowds of shoppers with posh bags. Since Liverpool ONE opened however, the luxury shopping mall has become quieter and quieter. In fact, when I popped in last Friday I was the sole person aside from the shop assistants and security guards.
By default, this makes the Metquarter an ideal place to go if you have bags of money but limited time and patience. Spread over two floors, it’s easy to navigate and has lots of high end fashion, shoes, accessories and toiletries outlets for both women and men. There’s high street stores like like Levi’s, DKNY Jeans, Diesel, Firetrap, Aspecto and All Saints alongside more designer boutiques like Armani Exchange, Flannels, Kurt Geiger, Kate Kuba, Jo Malone, M.A.C and Molton Brown.
I imagine the quietness of the Metquarter drives the staff and the retailers mad. As a customer however, it’s so peaceful its a joy to wander around.

A place like Met quarter, if you are in the right disposable income bracket is the type of shopping Mall that is needed for a city like Liverpool to be attractive internationally. Aside from those who might consider it pretentious with high end brands and high-​end price tags, there is the tourist to consider.
I believe we need shopping malls like these in all major cities to attract disposable income customers nationally and internationally. All urban playgrounds need retail outlets that cater for certain demographic to boost the local economy. Anyway, I digress. There are fashion outlets galore in here, from Armani Exchange, All Saints and Diesel to Hugo Boss, Kurt Geiger and Levi’s there is something for all those with an opulent taste in clothing.
There are plenty of refreshment options should you exhaust your stamina or indeed wallets. All in all a bright and breezy modern contemporary shopping destination for everyone whether window shopping or otherwise.

Pre-​Liverpool ONE this was the only place to be seen, you couldn’t tread the polished marble floors without running into three or four footballers or try on a jacket without eight or nine Hollyoaks starlets checking their makeup and/​or hair in the mirror behind you.
Housing clothing stores including Levis Store, a branch of high-​end boutique Flannels, Armani Exchange (where despite the name they won’t let you swap your old electrical appliances or board games with pieces missing for Armani clothing) and makeup and beauty outlets from the likes of Jo Malone and the über-​popular MAC.
It’s a nice distraction for an hour or so but in truth there is little here I (or I suspect most people on any sort of a budget) could really afford to buy here. There is also an abject lack of anywhere to get a decent bite to eat — there is a Costa coffee, but I object to paying £4+ for a toasted sandwich –which seems like a missed opportunity as a branch of Pizza Express or Est Est Est would do a roaring trade here.
Have a wander round though and start making lists of stuff you’re going to buy when that big lottery win/​mindblowing invention/​career in organised crime comes off.

The Metquarter is a small shopping mall which is mainly targeted towards fashion fanatics so if you love brand names, then this is the place for you. Prices are generally high-​end and it is not a place where you would typically go to do your weekend shopping. The mall consists of mainly clothes shops, jewellery stores and several cafes. There is a lower and upper floor where you can access via escalator or lift and public seats where you can take a rest bite or read a newspaper.
In terms of the layout, it is fairly attractive to the eye and has a clean, bright and fresh look to it. It’s a fine area to relax with comfortable seats, spacious surroundings and soothing music but I would not go here to shop.

Very smart classy shopping mall for the higher money earners, some fabulous shops, although they are shruggling at the moment because it is quite separate from Liverpool one and the shops are quiet and some have even closed, such a shame

I like Met Quarter. It has a nice array of high end fashion stores (that I’m sure Grosvenor would have loved to have put in Liverpool One but got beaten to it).
Only criticisms I have are that it needs a better anchor store than Flannels and it could do with some more lifestyle stores selling things other than fashion. Also needs another café besides Costa Coffee.

Most of the complaints here are to do with the expense, but i like the met quarter. I think it is a good thing for Liverpool really because before there were never really many upmarket shops, you would have had to go into Manchester for that. I like the paperchase in there, and also the mac make up shop and kurt geiger shoes (but only when there’s a sale on haha). It’s lovely, clean and peaceful too!

The Met Quarter certainly doesn’t cater for all types of people in Liverpool. Basically, if you have money you can shop here. If you don’t, you could wait for the sales and try and bag yourself a designer label at a knock down price or don’t shop here at all. I far prefer the clothes on the high street so not shopping here is no loss to me!

Very nice, modern shopping centre. It’s arrival brought a breath of fresh air to Liverpool, which has been continued with the advent of Liverpool 1. The Met Quarter is very luxurious, feels very new and expensive. It’s only a smallish centre, with mainly top-​end brand stores such as Whistles and Armani Exchange. There’s also a Paperchase which is a great place for cards and stationery — a nice change from popping into Clintons or Birthdays! A Costa Coffee and a nice Café Rouge make this a nice place to pop in and visit, even if you aren’t a fan of expensive shops. Grab a coffee and enjoy the ambience!

This is a good shopping centre. Well designed, clean and tidy. The only downside is the shops that are there are very expensive. It’s easily accessible in the ways that all shops in the centre of Liverpool are.

The Met Quarter was finally opened relatively recently after years of stopping and starting of building works. Who was the place built for? The capital of culture? The WAGs of the city? Who can say, apart from the fact that whoever they were they need a lot of money to shop here.
This place is full of designer wear and meets the needs of the ‘higher end’ of clientèle. Certainly if you like your labels and turn your nose up at TJ Hughes then this is no doubt the place for you. The Diesel shop is very good, I have to say, at least.

This is the place to go if you are after an outfit that is out of this world with a price tag to match. If you are watching the pennies leave your credit cards at home as there are lots of designer labels in the Met Quarter.
The shopping experience is light and airy clean and new a million miles away from St John’s shopping centre, and in my opinion classier than Liverpool 1 an experience not to be missed when shopping in Liverpool.

I love the met quarter its full of fashionable clothes/​accessories and make-​up. Its very trendy and the place to go if you want something fab to were to go out that night. The clothes here are all high fashion so dont go looking for a bargain becaue u will be there a long time.
The decoration and layout is amazing you feel fashionable when walking around here its so nice.
My favourite shops in the met quarter are miss sixty and Hobbs. And i never go the met quarter without popping into M.A.C might be expensive but there the best.

All Saints, Animal, AX Armani, Billabong, Coast, Diesel, DNKY, Firetrap, Flannels, Guess, Hobbs, Hugo Boss, L K Bennett, Phase Eight, T M Lewin, Whistles, Tommy Hilfiger, Energie, Aspecto, Gieves & Hawkes, Peter Werth, Timberland, Kate Kuba, Kurt Geiger– Café Rouge, Costa Coffee and Hamiltons.
All this and more under one roof and you haven’t even approached Liverpool 1 yet. Anyone for shopping.
