Private Bars for Hire in Liverpool

Your Guide to Hiring Private Bars in Liverpool

Liverpool has a reputation as a vibrant city with an exciting nightlife, and the bar scene is definitely on point. So if you are looking to host an event, whether it’s a birthday, an engagement or just a mixer, a bar is an obvious choice. The Liverpudlian bar scene is clustered in the city centre. Luckily the city is compact, and staying in the areas around Hardman Street near the Liverpool Cathedral or Matthew Street - where The Beatles got their start - should give you a headstart on your search.

Now, hiring a private bar may sound simple, but there are some decisions you should take up front. Most bars offer minimum spend, charging nothing for the booking and asking you to commit to reaching a certain spend during your event - these can start at £40 and reach £500. Some will also offer flat hire fees, usually around £150 to £500 per session, so check the fine details and choose wisely. Also, consider the availability of public transport for any guests who will not be able to drive. One additional tip, check the venue closing hours to make sure no one will be stranded - or that the party won’t end too early.
