New venue in former Garlands promises to stay true to its 'ethos'

A new venue has reopened in the same premises as Liverpool's Garlands and it promises to stay true to its ethos.

The former Garlands nightclub has been given a new lease of life under new ownership. The newly named club, Elysium, now takes up residence in the iconic building.

This historic site, found in the Pride Quarter of Liverpool on Eberle Street, nicknamed the yellow brick road, was one of Liverpool’s most loved clubs and achieved legendary status as the first after-hours gay club in Liverpool. In its day, Garlands hosted a huge line-up of well know house DJs and a variety of famous faces such as Claire Sweeney, Steven Gerrard and many members of the cast of Hollyoaks.
