A lost Liverpool venue quickly became "the" place to go in the city centre.
The Living Room was one of Liverpool’s most popular nightlife venues, with a bar and restaurant on the ground floor, a club called Mosquito below and a secret VIP bar and club - Vampire - below that.
Located on Victoria Street in the city centre, it opened in 2000 serving 120 covers and specialised in trendy cocktails and stylish food, quickly becoming the city’s place to be seen, with both local and non-local celebrities venturing there.

It featured live performers on the grand piano through the week, and for Sunday lunch, while DJ’s on Fridays and Saturdays played a wide range of music, and Grand National jockeys celebrated or commiserated there.
It closed its doors in 2014 and was later replaced by Sugar Hut, and is now home to restaurant Dash and XOXO nightclub.
In a former life, the club below The Living Room - Mosquito - used to be the famous SHE club.
