With such an iconic building and a rich history, the Royal Institution in the city can seem a little bit daunting.
But the newly re-opened bar in Colquitt Street which it’s now home to is anything but.
The logo of Royal Institution is an open door which, according to assistant general manager Jenny Collins says it all, and she’d love more people to seek out the famous Liverpool venue and join them for a drink.
“Royal Institution is in such a central location but it’s just a little bit hidden, and it’s one of those venues that feels a bit intimidating,” she explains. “You enter into a big entrance hall, and you have to turn right to find the bar and I think that can put people off.
“What we need is people to know we’re very, very welcoming, and to pop their heads in and say ‘hello’. And you’ll be greeted by an elegant venue, a sensational bar team and the best care and attention they can offer.
The Royal Institution was established by the city’s leading philanthropists in 1814 to promote literature, science and the arts, and officially opened by William Roscoe ahead the granting of its Royal Charter in 1821.
Its ornate décor - a pink flamingo fills one wall of the imposing entrance hall - was inspired by John James Audubon’s iconic ‘Birds of America’ exhibition of the early 1800s, making it flamboyant and sophisticated.
