If you’re planning a big night out or celebrating something special, try their exclusive booth packages. You’ll get the VIP treatment with drinks and some top-notch grub, such as juicy pork belly and Cajun wings that hit the spot.
The floral-themed bar isn’t just for show either—it’s available for private hire if you want to host your own event. Trust me, it’s luxury done properly, whether it’s for a birthday bash, work do, or just a casual gathering.
If you’re planning to pop in, we suggest booking in advance (way in advance!) since this spot is pretty popular.

The Cavern Club is dubbed as the most famous club in the world, and it’s earned every bit of that title. Known as the cradle of British pop music, it’s the place where legends like The Beatles kicked off their journey.
Inside, you’ll find cool retro memorabilia everywhere—photos, autographs, and guitars line the walls. And if you want to take a piece of the magic home, they’ve got souvenirs galore, from t-shirts to trinkets that shout “I was there!”
From 11:30 AM until late, their resident artists are always on, filling the place with top tunes. For just a fiver on the door, you can dive into that legendary front-stage atmosphere.

Sensation is where Liverpool’s nightlife hits the next level—quite literally, since it’s the city’s top rooftop bar and nightclub. No wonder it was voted ‘Best Rooftop Bar in Liverpool’ by Bloc.
We think this place has it all: handcrafted cocktails to sip on, a fancy rooftop terrace, and house music beats that’ll keep you dancing all night.
Sensation’s got VIP booths that make you feel like a superstar. They’re in the best spots for watching the dancefloor come alive, and you get comfy VIP seating, sparkler processions to light up your night, and complimentary table service.

Jaloux claims to be one of Liverpool’s prettiest spots to party, and we’re inclined to agree! With stunning Instagrammable decor, delicious cocktails to sip on, and live entertainment every weekend, you’ll be buzzing from the moment you walk in.
If Saturdays are your jam, we suggest hitting up their Saturday Nightclub sessions. Their in-house entertainment crew brings the heat with live sax and bongos every week, turning the dancefloor into a party like no other.
But don’t sleep on Fridays either; they’ve got their bad & Boujee night, blending contemporary hits with old-school classics. Pair that with their bottomless brunch menu and live entertainment, and you’ve got yourself a night that ticks all the boxes.
A little heads up though—make sure to book ahead because they’re always packed when these events are on.

Housed in the former Liverpool Royal Institute, The Arts Club has transformed into a hub for arts, events, and epic club nights. With a mix of Victorian theatre and Manhattan loft chic, it’s the place to catch some of the freshest acts around.
Here, we love rocking out to jazz, rock, indie, or electronic beats—from legendary gigs to the hottest up-and-coming talents.
But, before going here, you’ll want to check out their lineup online and grab tickets for acts like Kingfishr, Allie Sherlock, and Unit.90.
This club doesn’t just pride itself on its great tunes—it’s got heart too. One wheelchair-bound visitor said the security and bar staff were brilliant, going out of their way to make sure his accessibility needs were treated with kindness.

The Zanzibar Club is where Liverpool’s rock and alternative scene gets loud and proud.
Legendary acts like The Libertines, The 1975, and The Zutons once graced this 300-capacity venue, so you never know when you might witness the next big thing here!
The event lineup here’s always buzzing with life—think celebrations like the emo-throwback night Black Parade and SLR x Seti Box x Bass Culture sessions. Take a peek at their event page so that you can plan an epic night out.
Plus, we recommend buying tickets in advance so you don’t miss your favourite vibes.
Sharing the same address is Blush Shisha Garden, meaning booth packages are a must-try. Take their Rose package, for example—it’ll sort you out with a bottle of house spirit, Prosecco, shots, mixers, and the option to add shisha.

Right, if you’ve not heard of Club 051, or “The Drome” as the legends call it, you’re missing out. Perched in Birkenhead, this club was an absolute pioneer in electronic dance music—I mean, walking down those stairs is almost a rite of passage!
The vibe? Think gritty industrial, like an air raid shelter with a beat. None of that posh decor or lounge-style padding—just solid cement walls and a wide-open space to dance your heart out till dawn.
And the music here is absolute fire. They’ve got DJ sets for days—whether it’s the throwback sounds of a classic 90s night or the banging beats on Boxing Night, they know how to keep you bopping until you’re utterly knackered.
Make sure to grab those tickets online ahead of time, though. The place is that popular, and you don’t want to be the muppet left in the queue.
Pro Tip:
Club 051’s dress code? Go for that funky smart-casual vibe—it’s not written anywhere, but if you know, you know. Expect some bold outfits, plenty of personality, and a crowd that’s here to vibe, not just to look pretty.

Known as the city’s best nightclub by Liverpool Lifestyle Magazine, Heebie Jeebies is an absolute institution with three floors of pure, chaotic fun.
There’s live music downstairs, where the acoustics are so crisp you’ll feel like the band’s in your living room. Meanwhile, the upstairs is packed with old-school tunes that’ll have you belting out classics all night.
The lineup is pretty legendary too. Examples include glam rock nights with The Guize, killer gigs from East Exchange, and Society of Losers doing their thing with acts like The Tusks and Friends.
And if you’re keen to skip the queue (believe me, it gets packed), check out their booth packages. It’s a perfect way to start the night VIP style with spirit, Prosecco or beer, mixers, and drinks vouchers for a crew of up to eight.
