15 Unmissable Things To Do In Liverpool At Night

Liverpool is a city that, while it shows its staid cultural face during the day, comes to life after dark with a whole new ambiance that will leave you reeling. If you're not a football fan, you'll be pleased to know that both daytime and nighttime activities in Liverpool are not restricted to going to watch Liverpool FC under the spotlights of the stadium on Anfield Road. There are a lot more interesting and fun things to do in Liverpool than that. The Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, Tate Liverpool, Radio City Tower, and the Walker Art Gallery are just a few of the fabulous things you can get up to during the day. You can even take one of the many city tours to see it all.

As Liverpool is such a large city you might want to choose one area in particular for each of your nights out while there or you'll spend more time getting from A to B than enjoying yourself. Some of the best places where there are lots of things to do in Liverpool at night are the Royal Albert Dock , the Baltic Triangle, the Cavern Quarter, and the Georgian Quarter.

Going out at night in Liverpool with your suitcase in tow will be frowned on everywhere you go. You certainly won't be able to bop the night away at Bongo's Bingo if you're carrying your bags. Start to develop your scouser street cred by leaving your cases at a Bounce luggage storage facility in Liverpool where they'll be stored in a security tagged and insured locker. Once you're bagless, you'll have your hands free ready to wave them in the air when you've filled your bingo card and need to shout or to putt that amazing shot at Ghetto Golf.

Top Things To Do At Night In Liverpool And Where To Do Them

Royal albert dock.

Even if you've been to the Royal Albert Dock during the daytime to visit the Tate Liverpool or have a browse around the Britannia Vaults to check out the Beatles Story, go back again at night and you'll see it in a completely different light.

The Albert Dock is a unique location on Liverpool's UNESCO World Heritage waterfront that's been elevated from disused warehouses to be one of the best spots in the city for cultural activities and entertainment. In the Albert Dock, there's everything you need for a great night out from classy restaurants to lively bars, but the best way to start your night out is on the water and a stone's throw from the Merseyside Maritime Museum.

Best Things To Do At Night In Royal Albert Dock Liverpool

Albert dock dinner cruise.

Board the Floating Grace for a gentle sail around the Albert Dock and you'll be surprised at just how extensive the dock area is. As the boat navigates its way through the eight different dock areas you'll be served a tasty two-course meal. Dinner cruises on the Floating Grace depart the quay in Albert Dock at 7:30 pm and last for around two hours.

Smugglers Cove

The Smugglers Cove is a must if you're in Albert Dock at night. This amazing pirate-themed bar and restaurant will instantly transport you back to the days when the docks were a hangout for smugglers and up-to-no-good characters. Rum is the top tipple here and the bar stocks over 150 different kinds you can drink straight or blended in a flashy cocktail. On the restaurant menu are classic British dishes like scotch eggs, sausage and mash, and fish and chips. If you just go for drinks, make sure to have some of their homemade pork scratchings.

The Baltic Triangle

The Baltic Triangle is a neighborhood of Liverpool with a real Bohemian atmosphere. Think mural-painted walls, vintage stores, and first-class live music venues. If you love eclectic activities, you'll love the Baltic Triangle. It's definitely different. Most of the action is happening in the Cains Brewery Village, a retail and leisure centre on Stanhope Street, so put that name at the top of your places to go list.

Best Things To Do At Night In Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle

Baltic market.

If you want to know where to get the best street food in Liverpool , you're about to find out. The Baltic Market is housed in the Cains Brewer Village. It's a food market crammed full of exciting independent eateries and bars so forget shopping, this market is all about eating, drinking, and socializing. The Baltic Market opens every afternoon at five and closes around ten-thirty to eleven in the evening from Wednesday through to Friday. Saturday nights are the liveliest as there's live music and DJs.

Bongo's Bingo

Bongo's Bingo is also in the Cains Brewery Village and is a weird, but very entertaining combination of disco and bingo. Take a table here and one minute you'll be crossing off numbers on your bingo card and the next you'll be dancing on the table to nineties pop music or raving in the aisles. There are all sorts of live entertainment options too, so be prepared for a wild and unusual evening.

Ghetto Golf

As far as crazy golf courses go, Ghetto Golf in the Cains Brewery Village is at the top of the seriously crazy list. This 18-hole course is full of luminous, psychedelic graffiti and yes, the holes are just as twisted as the artwork on the walls. When you go to play a late-night game here you can purchase a very economical entrance package that entitles you to a round of golf, a drink, and a meal at their on-site food truck. To avoid being disappointed, book your tee time on the official website before you go.

The Georgian Quarter

As first impressions go, the Georgian Quarter may seem like a quieter, more laid-back area of the city. Looks can be very deceiving. In the Georgian Quarter, it's all happening on Hope Street which is a street stretching between Liverpool Cathedral and the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. Here you'll find a selection of unique theatres, bars and restaurants as well as the home of Liverpool's philharmonic orchestra.

Best Things To Do At Night In Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter

The philharmonic pub.

The Philharmonic Pub is not the home of the Liverpool philharmonic orchestra, at least not when they're playing a concert. This pub on Hope Street is one of a kind and renowned for being the most ornate pub in the UK. Think palace-style décor and you'll be on the right track. Rather than one main room, this Victorian-era drinking hole has lots of small, individual rooms so is great for an intimate night out.

Liverpool Philharmonic Hall

The Liverpool Philharmonic Hall is the home of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and there are usually classical concerts held there around once a week. Even if you're not a fan of classical music, it's worth checking out what's on while you're in Liverpool as the hall also hosts concerts by top pop and rock artists as well as dance and comedy performances.

Shiverpool is a ghost tour company that operates in the Georgian Quarter so if you want a night out in Liverpool that will make your hair stand on end, this is the one to go for. You can totally spook yourself out on any of several different tours of the area which are usually led by a guide in period costume.

Take the Hope Street ghost walk and not only will you learn about the spectres that haunt it, you'll go down into the creepy cathedral necropolis and through St James cemetery. If you prefer to be more entertained than freaked out, go on the Shiverpool ghost bus tour which has certain comedic elements thrown in to lighten the mood.

The Cavern Quarter

If you're not a Beatles fan then the Cavern Quarter might well be one part of Liverpool you'll want to skip going to at night. It’s definitely not where to stay in Liverpool if just the sound of their music makes you cringe as you’ll hear it on just about every street corner.

Anything and everything in the Cavern Quarter is pretty much dedicated to the Fab Four so for some it's seventh heaven and for others a place to avoid especially when the annual International Beatleweek Festival is on.

Best Things To Do At Night In Liverpool's Cavern Quarter

Cavern club.

The Cavern Club is the iconic venue where the Beatles started their career. You don't need to keep this for a nighttime activity as the club opens at 11:30 am, and once you're inside under those brick arches you won't have any idea what time of the day or night it is anyway. The Cavern Club hosts live music from the moment they open until they close which is midnight on weekdays and two in the morning at weekends. There is a small charge for admission to the club.

If you can't get into the Cavern Club because it's at maximum capacity, you can still enjoy a similar atmosphere at the Cavern Pub on Mathew Street. The Cavern Pub operates on the same basis as the Cavern Club, but there's no entry fee. Live music is continuous throughout the day and night and usually consists of classic rock and pop covers.

Liverpool Gin Distillery

Liverpool is renowned for its gin and one of the best places to try it, and see how it's made, is the Liverpool Gin Distillery . The Liverpool Gin Distillery is a four-story-high building on Castle Street in the Cavern Quarter, just a two-minute walk from Liverpool One , that's part pub and part distillery. Here, as well as getting to see gin being made in a copper still and sampling it, you can participate in gin cocktail and mixing classes.

Other Things To Do In Liverpool At Night

St luke's church.

St Luke's Church or as it's more often known, the Bombed Out Church is an entertainment venue on Liverpool's Leece Street. For years the church was nothing more than a roofless shell. Now after serious restoration, it may still be roofless, but there's a lot going on there. Understandably, most events are held there during the warmer months and include everything from film showings to theatrical performances, concerts, and comedy nights.

FACT Cinema

FACT, the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, is a museum on Wood Street in Liverpool. Unless there's a special exhibition then the museum closes at night, but the four screen cinema it houses doesn't. You won't get to see the latest releases here as the films shown are either art-related or non-mainstream, although many are big film festival award winners, so well worth checking out.

The Slaughterhouse

The Slaughterhouse is a comedy night venue in the basement of the Slaughterhouse pub on the city's Fenwick Street and is one of the top comedy clubs in Liverpool. Operated by Laughterhouse Comedy, the Slaughterhouse hosts stand-up comedians on Friday night and Saturday night only. There are always three top comedians and a compere at each show. Shows start at 8 pm and pre-booking a table is a good idea as it’s a popular night out. If the Slaughterhouse is fully booked, the Hot Water Comedy Club is a good alternative.

Panoramic 34

When you want a special night out in Liverpool that ticks all the boxes head to Panoramic 34 . Panoramic 34 is a restaurant on the 34th floor of the city's tallest building, the West Tower on Brook Street. The views of Liverpool and the River Mersey from Panoramic 34 are incredible and even better if you time your dinner for sunset. While it's not the cheapest of places to eat in Liverpool, you're guaranteed a truly memorable meal.

Liverpool is, without a doubt, a city for football and music lovers, but there's so much more to it than the Beatles and Liverpool FC. George Harrison's first guitar or drumkits belonging to Ringo Starr are not the best attractions Liverpool has to offer. One visit to attractions like Tate Liverpool, Sefton Park, and the Liverpool Cathedral will show you that.

Yes, the Cavern Club has a rich history and a great atmosphere, but there are plenty of other places in Liverpool where you can get great beer, good food, and listen to live music too. If you're not sure where to start head for the Baltic Triangle or the Royal Albert Dock and you won't go far wrong.

One Day In Liverpool: A Perfect 24 Hour Itinerary

Last Updated on February 29, 2024 by Natalia

If you’re wondering what to do for one day in Liverpool, then this 24 hour itinerary is for you! It includes the top things to do in the city, and covers the best way to discover the city on foot. With one day in Liverpool you can fit in some of the best places to visit, including famous spots like the Royal Albert Dock, the Cathedral and the quirky Baltic Triangle district. There are some great optional additions to your day depending on your preferences, including a sightseeing cruise along the River Mersey and a visit to the Beatles Story museum. This itinerary fits a good amount into 24 hours, ensuring that you make the most of a day in Liverpool!

If you have more time in the city make sure to check out our guide to the best tours and day trips from Liverpool!

Table of Contents

One day in Liverpool Itinerary

Liverpool waterfront.

The first inclusion on your one day Liverpool itinerary should be a visit to the waterfront of the city’s famous River Mersey . A stroll along the waterfront takes you past beautiful architecture and some of the city’s most famous sights.

For anyone’s first time to Liverpool this is one of the best things to do here and why we started the 24 hour itinerary at the waterfront!

The Three Graces at Pier Head are three of Liverpool’s most iconic buildings, consisting of the Royal Liver Building, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building. All three buildings feature some impressive architecture, however the Liver Building is particularly famous for the 2 symbolic Liver Bird figures which watch over the city from the top of the two clocktowers.

Whilst you’re in the area you can opt to take the Royal Liver Building 360 guided tour, which costs £15 per person and gives you an insight into both the building and the city’s history. To top if off you get to visit the 15th floor for some amazing views of Liverpool from above. Click here to find out more or to book a tour!

Another famous attraction at Pier Head is the Beatles Statue, which is unsurprisingly a popular spot for a quick selfie or photo! The statue is a short distance from where the Mersey Ferry departs, with both sightseeing and commuter ferries running most days.

Sightseeing cruises last for 50-minutes and allow you to get a different perspective of the city from the water, with commentary to add to the experience. These cruises can be booked in advance through Get Your Guide for just £12 per person, and they are a great addition to any Liverpool itinerary.

Click here to book a sightseeing cruise along the River Mersey through Get Your Guide!

Next up, make your way to the Royal Albert Dock, which is around a 10-minute walk away from the Beatles Statue. Constructed in the middle of the 19th Century, the dock played an important role in Liverpool being a trading powerhouse of the time. Nowadays the dock is home to museums, gift shops, restaurants and cafes, making it a nice spot to visit.

On most people’s Liverpool bucket lists, is something Beatles related and so if that’s the case for you we recommend the Beatles Story museum. Here you will find a permanent exhibition of the band’s history. Entrance to the museum costs just £19 per person and you can easily book online in advance through Get Your Guide!

Click here to secure your tickets to the wonderful Beatles Story Museum on Get Your Guide!

There are so many different places to visit along the city’s waterfront that you could easily spend 24 hours in Liverpool just exploring this area or a weekend doing so. For the sake of this itinerary that’s not possible, but some other spots you may want to visit include the Museum of Liverpool , the Merseyside Maritime Museum, the Liverpool Wheel and Tate Liverpool.

Liverpool Central Library

The next stop on your one day itinerary is the architecturally beautiful Liverpool Central Library . It’s around a 20-minute walk directly to the library from the Royal Albert Dock or Pier Head, but music fans may want to take a slight detour to visit Mathew Street.

It’s a significant street for the Beatles as it’s home to the famous Cavern Club. Although it’s now a new venue, the band played in the original Cavern Club on Mathew Street over 200 times in their early years. There are also several other Beatles attractions nearby including the Liverpool Beatles museum and a statue of John Lennon.

If you decide to stop off at Mathew Street on the way, it should only add around 10 minutes extra to your walk to the library, but you will need to account for time spent at the street itself.

Entrance to Liverpool Central Library is completely free and the impressive interior makes it well worth a visit – even if a library isn’t somewhere you would normally visit. Once you’ve entered the library, look up almost immediately and you will start to appreciate the captivating design.

You don’t need to spend too long exploring the library, but one spot worth visiting is the Picton Reading Room. It’s a picturesque circular room that wouldn’t feel out of place in a Harry Potter movie thanks to the bookcases around the circumference of the room and spiral staircases.

Although you only need a quick stop off at the library to appreciate its beauty, it’s well worth a visit for the impressive design – even if you only have one day in Liverpool!

Liverpool Cathedral

When you’re ready, walk from the library to the elaborate Chinatown archway, at which point you are less than 5 minutes walk from Liverpool Cathedral. The archway in Liverpool’s Chinatown is beautifully decorated, and is the largest Chinese Arch outside of China.

Unsurprisingly, there are several Chinese restaurants in the Chinatown area, so if you’re hungry then it’s a good time to grab some food if you haven’t already. If you’re not hungry then you will only need a few minutes in the area before walking on to the Cathedral.

Liverpool Cathedral is the largest Cathedral in the UK, and is also the 5th largest in all of Europe. The Gothic Revival style of the Cathedral is visibly striking, as is the red sandstone exterior. Construction began in 1904 and took 74 years before it was fully completed.

Entrance to Liverpool Cathedral is free, and we recommend heading inside to admire the grand interior. If you want to enjoy a spectacular view of the city then you can also buy a ticket to go up the Cathedral tower.

Tickets to the tower start from £6 per person, and can be booked through the Cathedral’s website. Click here for more information on the Cathedral website and book your tickets!

Sefton Park

The next stop for your 24 hour itinerary may be one you only want to include if you have nice weather for a day in Liverpool. Sefton Park is a lovely spot for a walk, but on a rainy day you may want to give it a miss!

If you do have good weather then you need to decide whether to either walk to the park, or get there by bus or a taxi. It’s around a 40-minute walk from Liverpool Cathedral to Sefton Park, so if that sounds a bit much then it’s best to choose between taking a bus or a taxi.

Originally opened in 1872, the park covers 235 acres and has been granted Grade I status by English Heritage. It’s the perfect place to escape the often busy city centre, which makes it a popular spot with Liverpudlians.

There are a number of different pathways throughout Sefton Park, so you can create your own walking route depending on how long you have left of the day.

Some spots you may want to visit within the park are the boating lake, the famous Palm House, the statue of Eros (the Greek god of love) and the Peter Pan statue. The Palm House is a spectacular glass-panelled building near the centre of the park, and is home to a collection of plants from around the world.

Baltic Triangle

Finish up your 24 hours in Liverpool itinerary at the Baltic Triangle – a redeveloped area of the city where old warehouses have been converted into bars and restaurants. There are plenty of places to choose from when it comes to both dinner and drinking hangouts. Redevelopment in areas is becoming more and more common and we’ve seen this in Natalia’s hometown of Folkestone where there are plenty of things to do!

If you want to do a bit more exploring when you’re in the area, then the Baltic Triangle is home to some brilliant street art too. Some of the best artwork is found either on or nearby to Jamaica Street, so we suggest taking a walk there to see what you can find! Jamaica Street is home to one of the most famous pieces of Street Art in the Baltic Triangle – the Liver Birds Wings.

When you’re ready for some food or drink, we recommend starting at the Baltic Market – a food court that has a variety of different options, with both vegan and gluten-free dishes available. The food court has its own bar, and some of the vendors also serve alcohol. It’s a particularly good spot to visit if you’re spending some of a weekend in Liverpool!

There are a mix of fairly standard bars, as well as more quirky options including a Yellow Submarine bar, an arcade bar and a crazy golf course with beer, cocktails and more available. It’s a great place to end your one day Liverpool itinerary in!

• warreno380 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great Day Trip to Stonehenge and Windsor Took the trip with Evan Evans. A well run, organized trip. The meeting point was easy to find at the Victoria Coach Station. Trip left as planned. Our group was about 20 which left plenty of space in the large Coach Bus. Our guide, Robert, did an excellent job narrating the trip. There was sufficient time to explore on our own. Keep in mind that the bus ride is about 2 hours depending on traffic out to Stonehenge and less to Windsor before about a 1.5 hour ride back into London. Stonehenge was wonderful to see and Windsor was beautiful. Wished we would have had another hour in the City of Windsor to walk around. Once we finished in the castle there wasn't much to explore the city. One might want to drive up on their own to explore. Highly recommend against seeing three sites (though tours are available) in a day. I don't know how you would get them in and have time to see anything in detail. If these sites interest you I would highly recommend this trip. Read more Written April 30, 2024
