A vast, grand building has been transformed into a swanky cocktail bar right in the heart of the city centre.
The Royal Institution, based on Colquitt Street, boasts an interesting and varied history. It originally opened as an organisation promoting literature, science and the arts back in 1814, before being granted its royal charter in 1821.
Now, it's an intimate yet wholly impressive addition to Liverpool's thriving hospitality scene. The St Hospitality team - which also operates Castle Street Townhouse and Seel Street Venue - took over the space last year, restoring it sympathetically yet elaborately, and finally reopening its doors in August 2022.
