Small bar in dead part of town had 'insane' lock-ins

A small bar located in the “dead part of town” was the place to be in the 90s.

The Curzon Club, which used to be on Temple Street, was known to be the city’s oldest gay bay. After 28 successful years, the venue closed its doors back in 2016, despite this, the “insane” and “mental” memories are still fondly remembered today by many - including Liverpool’s LGBTQ+ community.

The “one-room” venue was among the clubs frequented by the community when venues such as Paco's and The Bear's Paw were the go-to places for society’s “outsiders” to spend time with their friends. The club was the last one standing when it closed, seemingly to be sold off for flats at the time.
