Arts Bar has been a driving force in the local creative scene since they launched 4 years ago and now they have morphed into something quite special, With a wide range of versatile spaces such as the Arts Bar studios and not only that they recently opened a second bar, Arts Bar Baltic. The lads have created this powerhouse which has provided artists, musicians, filmmakers, and other creative professionals with the perfect environment to practice, collaborate, and showcase their talents. The Creative Wire has recently been made the official ticket hosting for the space and with more creatives booking Studio Three, they subsequently supporting The Wire to be able to stay plugged in and continue being the Go-to Platform for creatives. As everyone knows I love the Arts Bar, this is where I network, socialise and put on my events, with a lot of pints consumed in the process. “Camden hells in a fat glass please”

The latest addition is a remarkable transformation of an unused banqueting room into a spacious studio that boasts state-of-the-art facilities, offering affordable spaces that facilitate the creation of new and original works which we can agree is a major help, as spaces cost double and sometimes a percentage on the box office. This is very promising for a creative like myself, trying out new work at a cheap rate and already I've booked the space for 2024 with a number of shows booked.

Studio Three is  70ft x 30ft space along with a bar at the back stocking up on some of your favourite beers. This sizeable space, equipped with mirrors, a sound system, and lighting, stands as one of the largest of its kind. The offering of the space benefits the creative community massively, I remember when I started out and there weren't any spaces like this to really try test something without getting a small mortgage on my house haha.

This space would be great for a scratch night, a comedy night, a preview, a show, and so on. Get in touch with The Arts bar on socials or their email: info@liverpoolartsbar.com

Be quick, as it's getting pretty full.
