According to city council documents, the application for a review of the venue's licence was made after 'various breaches of covid restrictions' were witnessed.
The breaches, which are said to have occurred between December 3 2020 and May 26 2021 include the smoking of shisha, people drinking while not sat at tables, the bar itself being open during lockdown and a breach of a licence condition.
The bar's owners will be able to present their case at the meeting on Tuesday, where the committee will have a range of powers at their disposal.
This includes making changes to the licence conditions, removing a premises supervisor, suspending a licence for a up to three months - or in extreme cases, revoking a licence altogether.
In May, a restaurant in Liverpool city centre lost its licence after the owner was found to have breached lockdown restrictions at his restaurant just months after receiving a covid fine for a separate breach elsewhere.
Just under two weeks before, a pub on East Prescot Road managed to keep its right to sell booze despite a lockdown drinking session which degenerated into a brawl which saw the manager stamp on a taxi driver’s head.
The manager was immediately sacked and the pub’s owners managed to keep its licence.
