Concert Square, Liverpool

Concert Square is a square located between Wood Street and Fleet Street in the RopeWalks area of Liverpool City Centre, England. The square and the immediate surrounding area is often referred to as the heart of Liverpool's nightlife,[1] due to the area being populated with some of the best known nightclubs and bars in the city, and indeed the North West of England.[2] The square has often been a centre for football fans' celebrations, and as such has been the site of sporadic instances of hooliganism and violence.[3][4] A 2019 survey of university students in the UK found two Liverpool universities ranked amongst the top 5 for nightlife, with Concert Square being cited as a factor.[5] In 2017, a Coyote Ugly bar opened on the square, the franchise's first bar in England.[6]

Some of the bars and nightclubs in and around the Concert Square area are:

  • McCooleys, Einstein Bierhaus, Levels, Soho and Boston Pool Loft, all operated by Pub Invest Group[7]
  • A Lloyd's No. 1 Bar, The Lime Kiln operated by Wetherspoons.[8]
  • Revolution
  • Coyote Ugly
