Liverpool’s Famous Nightlife

By Jessica McGillivray

Many people travel to Liverpool for the nightlife and whether you’re looking for a cheap student bar, a quirky themed club or a cosy pub there is a huge variety on offer for those seeking a fun night out.

Concert Square is synonymous with a night out for residents in Liverpool with a whole slew of bars, pubs and clubs within metres of each other. The area is very popular with students due to the low drinks prices and the multiple bars and clubs that have events and special offers weekly especially for them. Cool It Liverpool run a number of these events including ‘Skint Tuesday’s’ at Peacocks and Moloko and ‘Quid’s In’ on Wednesdays at Level nightclub. “We know students can struggle financially, especially during the cost of living crisis at the moment, so the aim of these weekly events is to give the students of the city a night out that they can enjoy for as cheap as possible without having to worry about money too much.”

Matthew Street is another great location in the city centre, it usually attracts an older crowd but still has the buzz and busyness of concert square at the weekends. Many of the bars in this area are themed around The Beatles due to it also being the location of the world famous Cavern Club.

Liverpool also has venues on offer just outside of the city centre for those who love a rave. The Invisible Wind Factory and Blackstone Street Warehouse are two of the most notable venues having hosted big names such as Ben Hemsley, Camelphat and Chase and Status. “We have one of the biggest venues for music events in Liverpool and we specialise in putting on events for house, techno and drum and bass lovers which is what I think makes us so unique” stated a spokesperson for Blackstone Street Warehouse, “everyone that comes to one of our events expects a great night out and our aim is to give them the best experience possible”.

If you are not a fan of busy areas there are many great bars and pubs dotted around the city that might take your fancy instead. If you explore the ropewalks area of the city there are many side streets with some hidden treasure along them, the docks also have a great selection for you to enjoy.Wherever you find yourself you are garunteed a great night out.
