WHERE

Liverpool

What it’s like

A live music bar with open mic nights, gigs and stand-up comedy running from mid-morning into the late hours.

This is a bar built around a stage rather than a dance floor. On any given night you might catch an open mic session, a touring indie or rock act, a DJ set, or someone doing an hour of stand-up. The bill shifts between acoustic, hip-hop, soul and jazz depending on the night, and there's also room given over to art exhibitions and the odd theatre production, so it's not purely a gig venue in the narrow sense.

Doors open daily from 10am and it runs late, which makes it easy to build an evening around a meal elsewhere and drop in once things get going. There's no set age policy listed, but a bar with a late licence and live music programming reads as an adults' night out rather than somewhere to bring children.

Group bookings are catered for and there are party rooms if you're planning something bigger than a couple of drinks and a band. There's no booking link listed, so the way to lock in a group slot or a party room is to get in touch with the venue directly rather than expecting to book it online.

Plan your visit

Is this suitable for children?

It's not set up for kids. There's no age policy stated, but a late-opening bar built around live music and stand-up reads as an adult night out.

Do we need to book ahead?

There's no online booking listed, so for group bookings or a party room you'd need to contact the venue directly rather than turning up and hoping.

What's actually on?

A mix: open mic nights, live music across genres from acoustic to hip-hop and jazz, stand-up comedy, art exhibitions and the occasional theatre production.

What are the opening hours?

Open daily from 10am until late, so you can treat it as a long evening rather than a fixed two-hour slot.
