A bit about the outlet 

Where do we start?!! We are reputedly the largest licensed premises on Merseyside. We occupy half of the ground floor of the former North Western Hotel. This building is exceptionally grand and used to be the best hotel of the London & North Western Railway. It had lain totally derelict for many years before we took it on.

We have carried out a massive renovation of the premises and it is absolutely fabulous. Renovation is to a very high standard, as it is a grade 2 listed building.

The outlet comprises 4 bars, with variable closing times. Usually, the Grand Hall is open and the Display Bar is available for pool and enjoying the seating of an American Diner. Studio 58 and the Loft Bar are usually only open for special functions and parties.

 - the Grand Hall is a large room with elegant bar servery and a stage with in-built sound system for performers (this is where live acts play). Virtually all the wall panelling is original 1840s.

- Studio 58 is a large, modern bar, very stylish with lots of brushed steel and light wood furniture. Elegant, airy atmosphere.         

- Up the stairs from Studio 58 is the Loft on a new mezzanine floor, over-looking Studio 58. It is in the same style and has a fantastic glass-structured bar servery; you have to see it to get a proper idea of its beauty;
- The Display Bar is set out as an American Dinner and Pool Hall
