Legendary Liverpool nightclub that became an institution in the city

As one of Liverpool's most famous and legendary nightclubs, thousands of locals, students and a number of famous faces have had a night out at the Raz.

Located on Seel Street in the city centre, the club has welcomed generations across Merseyside and if you've ever been a student in Liverpool, there's a high chance you've been there. The venue itself has been open since 1939 and was historically a jazz club in the 1960s, which saw it quickly become a Liverpool institution.

It is famous for many things - legends such as The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan are known to have played in the club. Beatles manager Brian Epstein famously discovered Cilla Black's talent as she sang in the Blue Angel and from there he whisked her to London for auditions.
