drinking

BEST ADVICE: START CHATTING WITH OTHER LIVERPOOL CLUBBERS WHEN YOU'RE OUT AND ABOUT AROUND THE CITY.

• Where can a group of 40+ have a great time and a boogie in Liverpool, cheesy 70's 80's music through to today's scene for end of the night?
• We recommend starting out on Renshaw Street / Mount Pleasant right near the Adelphi hotel, just a 2 minute walk from lime street station, theirs about 5/6 pub bars around here all 40 +, I forget all the names but you'll now what I mean when you get outside the Adelphi hotel, dickey Louis etc loads of karaoke and laughing going on. If you're unsure/or get lost just start chatting to people when your about, you might also try Mathew Street, flares, boogie nights and the rubber soul later on, loads of 80's music & disco.
• Where is Liverpool's gay quarter?
• Liverpool's gay quarter is based around Stanley street and Victoria street just off Mathew street, bars now staying open till 4am 7 nights a week. If you're after some serious late night dirty house music head to g-bar of a Saturday night... 12pm - 7am. gay liverpool guide
• I'm heading out into Liverpool on Monday to celebrate my 21st birthday. Where will be busy?

• Coming to Liverpool for a night out, we like bars and a good dance.
