3. Jimmys:

Opposite the landmark Bombed Out Church, at the top of Bold Street, Jimmy’s Liverpool is a venue full of eccentricity and the perfect venue space for local live music.

The basement acts as a portal to get lost in chaotic fun and has held some of Liverpool’s well-known artists, as well as touring ones. The venue space itself is a decent size, perfect for those who aren’t keen on crowded, sweaty small venues that can seem rather suffocating. The staff are friendly and welcoming which accompanies a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

4. Kazimier Stockroom:

This live music venue is located within Kazimier garden on Seel Street. It is the perfect beer garden on summers night, with funky music and reasonably priced drinks. Kazimier Stockroom is a cozy indoor music venue that has hosted some brilliant Merseyside talent such as Birkenhead’s very own Salt the Snail. Although the venue is on the smaller side, this in fact adds to the atmosphere making you feel at one with performing musicians. The bright, electrifying ceiling lights add a dazzling effect to the venue itself and makes gig-goers feel as if they have entire a world of mind-blowing music madness. Hosting mainly local music artists, it is the perfect place to discover the talent that Merseyside has to offer.

5. Heebie Jeebies Basement:

Heebie Jeebies is a well-known bar to all Liverpudlians, but what you might not know is, Heebies basement is the perfect little live music venue that showcases some amazing local musicians. The venue hosts a range of music club nights such as ‘The Liverpool Indie Club’, as well as proudly hosting this year’s Liverpool Sound City Festival. The basement itself has an ‘olden day’ feel to it, with many of the walls being bare-bricked, giving you a rough and ready feel. The venue is a prime location, being on Seel Street, along with some of Liverpool’s busiest night life. Being a small venue makes the live music itself, feel so much louder and more vibrant, something other venues do not offer. It is definitely worth a visit to dicover more of what Liverpool’s local music scene has to offer.
