Liverpool bar 53 is reopening with a new name and home after fire closed Berry Street site

Liverpool's Bar 53 has confirmed it will soon be reopening under a new name of '54' marking its new chapter in its new location.

53 closed back in August after a huge fire destroyed the Berry Street premises, but its team at the time vowed it would reopen.

The team have now confirmed its reopening date will be November 30 at a new disco and vocal-house bar on Seel Street.

The 5,000 sq ft venue will consist of a state of the art sound system and video wall. And will also include 22 booths, stage area and outdoor area.

A VIP mezzanine area will also separate the venue into two floors.

Bar 54 is promising customers it will be a more "polished and popular version" of 53 and has taken "inspiration from New York's disco scene and will offer big name acts in the build up to Christmas".

Christian Boyle, business development manager for 54, said: "After the devastating fire to 53 we are happy to be back with a new venue, the same but different with improvements in production creating an even better experience.

"It is going to be Liverpool's ultimate super club with a nod to old school disco and vocal house classics and the New York's disco scene.

"The light at the end of the tunnel is now approaching fast, and for us here at 54 we cant wait to re-open our amazing new site at the bottom of Seel Street.



"When we had announced that we would be reopening our doors we didn't know how the public would react, but bookings have been flooding in since, with a sold out launch, before people even knew where we were going to be.

"It's hugely positive to know that there is still demand for our brand and we can't wait to open again at the end of the month."
