About Royal Institution Bar
Step through the grand entrance of Royal Institution Bar on 24 Colquitt Street and you're immediately transported into Liverpool's cultural heritage. We've been part of this city since 1814, when this building first opened its doors to promote literature, science, and the arts. Today, we honor that legacy while serving some of the finest cocktails in the city. Our bar spans three distinct rooms, each with its own character and story. The Exhibition Room centers around our fully stocked bar with its polished wooden top, where plush seating invites conversation beneath décor inspired by John James Audubon's 'Birds of America' exhibition. In The Habitat Room, green walls embrace eccentric animal-themed artwork while an open fireplace crackles during cooler evenings – it's become a favorite spot for private parties seeking something more intimate. The Reading Room wraps guests in rich red hues, creating that speakeasy atmosphere perfect for celebrations that call for a touch of sophistication. We take pride in our cocktail program, offering both timeless classics and our own signature creations alongside carefully selected wines, beers, and spirits. Our bartenders regularly host cocktail masterclasses where groups learn the stories and techniques behind their favorite drinks – these sessions have become particularly popular for birthday parties and hen celebrations. Each of our rooms can be hired privately, and we can accommodate up to 150 guests across the entire venue. Whether you're planning a milestone birthday, engagement party, or corporate celebration, we work with you to create the right atmosphere. Our location, just moments from Liverpool Central station, makes us easily accessible for guests coming from across the city. Our philosophy of "Simple but Better" guides everything we do, from the drinks we craft to the service we provide, ensuring your event reflects both the historical significance of our space and the celebration at hand.
