Liverpool Arts Bar

A grassroots celebration of creativity, Liverpool Arts Bar feels like a gallery and a bar rolled into one.

The Oracle

A visit to The Oracle Bar is a truly unique Liverpool experience. Inspired by Victorian gambling dens, the space blends period charm with modern mixology, featuring marble fireplaces, antique furnishings, and dim lighting that create an intimate, mysterious atmosphere. The real draw is the mix of world-class cocktails and close-up magic – sleight-of-hand tricks at the table add an unexpected thrill to every visit. With just 18 seats, securing a table feels like discovering a hidden gem. Open Thursday to Sunday, The Oracle is perfect for anyone seeking a stylish, unforgettable night out. Be sure to check their Instagram for regular events, including parlour shows and mind-reading performances.
