Liverpool

What it’s like

Late-opening bar on the live music scene, open into the small hours from Thursday to Saturday.

This is a bar built around live music, with the sort of hours that tell you what kind of night you're signing up for. Monday to Wednesday and on Sundays it shuts at a sensible 11pm, but Thursday it runs until 2am and Friday and Saturday push on to 3am. If you're after a proper late one rather than an early finish, the weekend is where this place makes sense.

There's no booking link listed, so it reads as a turn-up sort of venue rather than one where you need to plan weeks ahead. That's handy if your evening firms up last minute, though it also means you're taking your chances on how busy it is once you get there.

Doors open at 10am every day, which is oddly early for a live music bar and suggests it's doing double duty as somewhere to drop in during the day as well as at night. Worth bearing in mind if you're picturing it purely as an after-dark spot.
