The venues we've lost
Every venue here poured for Liverpool Cocktail Week and has since closed for good. Thank you to every one of them.
Closures come from Google Maps, which lists each of these venues as permanently closed (checked every month), and from venues we've been told have closed. Has one reopened, moved or changed its name? Email hello@cocktail-week.com and we'll update it.

What Liverpool Cocktail Week does for hospitality
Liverpool Cocktail Week is about getting people out to local bars and restaurants. The venues host and pour and we bring the customers.
Real footfall
Wristband holders plan their ten days around the line-up, so venues meet people who have never been through the door, often at a quieter time of year.
Money in the till
Every signature cocktail is bought at the bar, so the money goes straight into the venue's own till, along with whatever else people order while they're in.
Awareness
The guide, the website, social ads, emails and local press put every venue taking part in front of people across Liverpool.

What Liverpool venues said
We were delighted to have been involved in Liverpool Cocktail Week for the past few years. It's been truly fantastic to see the city come alive, with everyone showing such amazing support for the local bars and the city's incredible hospitality scene
Chamber 36, general operations manager, after Liverpool Cocktail Week 2025a creative and enjoyable event bringing the hospitality sector together so everyone can sample all the wonderful flavours Liverpool venues have to offer.
Cosy Club, general manager, after Liverpool Cocktail Week May 2026It definitely increased the amount of guests we welcomed into our bar and even tables being booked in the restaurant. The exposure for us as a business was invaluable.

Why your local needs you
A bar or restaurant is someone's first job, a regular order for local suppliers, the place you go for birthdays and the reason Liverpool still feels alive after six o'clock.
Costs have climbed on every side: wages, energy, food, business rates and VAT. When a venue closes, the staff, the regulars and the nights out go with it. The best thing any of us can do is simple: go out and go local.

Why VAT matters
Cut hospitality VAT
In the UK, VAT on eating and drinking out is 20%. The campaign points out that France, Spain and Italy charge 10% on hospitality.
The #VATsTheProblem campaign, led by chef Tom Kerridge and backed by UKHospitality, the British Beer & Pub Association and the British Institute of Innkeeping, is asking for a 10% rate for hospitality. More than 400,000 people signed its petition before it was handed in at Downing Street on 14 October 2026.
The Budget on 28 October 2026 did not cut it, so the campaign carries on. We're behind it.
