Liverpool nightlife must, of course, take in a visit to a pub or two. There are traditional pubs on virtually every street corner, where the welcome will be warm and the beer just the right temperature. Try Thomas Rigby’s on Dale Street, one of Liverpool’s oldest pubs, or head for the Fly in the Loaf on Hardman Street for genuine Belgian and German beers.

But comedy, too, is a key part of the Liverpool nightlife scene. Numerous comedy clubs have sprung up across the city, where you can enjoy a beer or two while having a good old laugh. Check out the Laughterhouse comedy nights at the Slaughterhouse on Fenwick Street, one of Liverpool’s premier comedy clubs.

Then there’s dancing. The Liverpool clubbing scene took off with Cream in the nineties and has been throbbing ever since. Make sure you catch Cream at Nation if you can, or check out Garlands, a flamboyant, not-to-be-missed Liverpool nightlife experience.
