Bar hidden in a truck 'off the beaten path' returns for summer

A quirky bar serving drinks from a converted truck will return to Liverpool city centre this summer.

The Bus Yard concept was created by business partners Andy Laird, Anthony Smith and Darren Ryder and initially debuted its unique double decker bus bar on Crosby Beach before moving to other locations in the city.

Andy confirmed the Liverpool ONE site, which serves drinks from a converted truck on Chavasse Park, will return on Friday, April 28, in time for the Eurovision Song Contest.

He said: "We're doing the official fan park up there for Eurovision. There will be activities on the park from the beginning of May, with entertainment as well.

"We're the only outdoor venue up there and we're setting up for summer. The park is off the beaten track but when it's hot it's rammed."

Andy added that The Bus Yard at Chavasse Park was a "massive success" in 2022. He said: "Liverpool ONE push all their brands, whether it's Gordon Ramsay or us, they want the site to be the best that it can be.

"We had an amazing year last year, every person down to the cleaners were amazing and a pleasure to deal with."

The Liverpool ONE return comes after The Bus Yard reopened on Crosby Beach on Good Friday. It's located on the promenade between Crosby Lakeside and the beach, serving everything from coffee to cocktails, with live music and street food also on offer.

Last year, the business secured a three-year agreement with Sefton Council to open for six months between April and September.

Andy also hinted there could be a brand new venue launched by the business in Liverpool shortly and told the ECHO it will be a "mega site". He added: "Watch this space."
