Where to go in Liverpool: events, concerts, games and shows worth your night
Liverpool is the city that exported pop music to the world, and it still turns out a night: a 1,000-capacity venue on the Mersey, an arena and a new arena-sized conference hall on the waterfront, a philharmonic in an art deco hall, two football clubs, and a Ropewalks quarter that fills every weekend. Below is where to go in Liverpool for a night out, with addresses, and what tends to be on when.
Concerts and live music in Liverpool
The M&S Bank Arena on the waterfront takes the arena tours; the Olympia (West Derby Road), an Edwardian circus theatre, and the Invisible Wind Factory in the North Docks the mid-sized ones; the Cavern Club (10 Mathew Street, cavernclub.com) has live bands every day on the site where the Beatles played 292 times. The Philharmonic Hall (Hope Street) is home to the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, and the Grand Central Hall and Camp and Furnace in the Baltic Triangle cover the rest.
Liverpool nightlife: Ropewalks, the Baltic Triangle and Mathew Street
Ropewalks, around Seel Street and Bold Street, has the bars and clubs; the Baltic Triangle the warehouses, breweries and the bigger club nights; Mathew Street the Beatles bars for visitors. Bars close at 2, clubs at 4 or later; the trains stop around midnight.
