Nightlife:Liverpool has a well-deserved reputation as a party city and there are numerous traditional pubs, trendy bars and clubs for visitors to choose from.
Bars: There is a lively scene around Concert Square in the center of town, where a host of late bars and clubs offering loud music and plenty of cheap drinks promotions can be found. For those wanting to get dressed up in their finest glad rags and rub shoulders with the city’s elite, try
Baby Blue or the
Blue Bar & Grill, both on Edward Pavilion at Albert Dock.
Baa Bar on Fleet Street is another trendy place that has a laid back style and is popular with young urbanites. Beer enthusiasts should check out
The Ship & Mitre, 113 Dale Street, Liverpool’s premier free house. It is housed in an original 1930s art deco building and offers the largest and most varied selection of beers in Merseyside.
Clubs: The city has a big clubbing scene and Liverpool’s most famous club night is
Cream at Nation off Slater Street; it is well worth trying to make it to one of the one-off events of which there are usually three or four a year. The club has been so successful it has spawned its own international brand with other Cream events taking place at clubs and venues all over the world.
Baby Cream at Albert Dock is a more laid-back lounge bar restaurant offshoot of the world-famous nightclub. The
Camel Club, on Wood Street, plays a good mix of urban music and is popular with the city’s large student population.
The Grafton on the West Derby Road is a huge entertainment complex with bars, a restaurant and nightclub with plenty of party atmosphere.
Live Music: The city is synonymous with live music acts and many visitors to Liverpool head to the famous
Cavern Club on Mathew Street in the heart of the Cavern Quarter. This is where The Beatles first made their name, although the modern day Cavern Club is actually a replica built on the same site after the original closed down and was demolished in 1973. But it is still a great place to hear live music with local bands often performing afternoon sets at the weekend.
The Zanzibar Club on Seel Street is another popular venue with an excellent reputation for its live music program. There are plenty of other small- to mid-size venues that put on live acts dotted around the city. Bigger music acts can be seen at the
Liverpool Carling Academy on Hotham Street.
