Since opening in 2019, Liverpool Arts Bar has had to overcome significant challenges.
Found on Hope Street in Liverpool city centre, the bar was devised as a space to promote the city's grassroots art scene, as well as being a relaxed and inviting location to drink. Established by a group of creatives, it boasts an offering of "live music, great cocktails and local ales".
However, in the three years since the bar opened, the hospitality industry has been hit with devastating existential threats. The first major hurdle came less than a year after Liverpool Arts Bar poured its first beer - when the Covid-19 pandemic hit in spring 2020.
