Wood Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1

Prime House and R&B nightclub/bar in the heart of Liverpool city centre currently trading just 2 nights per week and targeting an R&B audience, this site offers prime location and opportunity for an incoming operator to acquire the full brand and continue as is or change direction and rebrand. We are of the opinion the site would also suit a public house operator looking to expanding opening days due to the versatile layout.
