Raves, craft ale and the ‘abandoned’ square that shaped modern Liverpool

Small pieces of debris would occasionally drift into Kazimier Garden as the buildings to its rear were demolished, according to Liam Naughton.

The outdoor bar and venue space previously backed onto the beating heart of Liverpool nightlife at Wolstenholme Square, once the home of Cream, Pleasure Rooms and The Kazimier club. But one day in 2016 the Garden found itself out on its own.

“There was no infrastructure left around us,” Mr Naughton tells the ECHO from the top floor of the Invisible Wind Factory venue in the north docks, recalling the initial experiences of the bar becoming marooned in a once lively part of Ropewalks. Mr Naughton is the director of Kazimier Productions, the team which operated and lent its name to the former venue on Wolstenholme Square - who are now based at their repurposed warehouse overlooking the Liverpool Waters site along Regent Road.
