Scandal hit nightclub and celebrity haunt that sold '30-litre Champagne bottle' for '£125K'

A lost Liverpool venue that once sold a '30-litre Champagne bottle' for '£125K' saw a number of celebrities pass through its doors.

The PlayGround club, on Thomas Steers Way, was launched by George Panayiotou in December 2011 and quickly become a nightspot of choice for celebrities and local clubbers. Located inside Liverpool's Hilton Hotel, many will remember no expense being spared on the £2m superclub or leaving with a slice of pizza at the end of the night.

Prior to its opening, founder George Panayiotou said it was "his mission" to "put Liverpool on the same nightlife circuit as the likes of St Tropez and Miami." Liverpool fashion designer Kirsty Doyle created the staff uniforms for PlayGround, while Justine Mills from Cricket ran the membership scheme and WAG Alex Gerrard designed the membership cards.
