A Liverpool venue that was once “rotten with damp” is now receiving 'excellent' reviews, two years after being transformed by two local businesswomen.
The historic Wavertree Town Hall recently celebrated its 150th anniversary - and its second birthday as a newly refurbished restaurant after being saved from despair. The Grade II listed building is where George Harrison’s birth was registered and The Beatles once played as The Quarrymen.
The building fell into disrepair in the early 1970s before being turned into a bar and function space. It changed ownership several times but then sat empty for more than two years. Former Gusto Albert Dock manager Lisa Dixon and her business partner Natalie Doughty took over the space in 2019 and transformed it into a thriving restaurant and bar, which opened in August 2020.
