Discover more about Soho's Liverpool
A compact social hub with layered character
Soho’s occupies a slim plot on Bold Street and reads like a series of connected rooms stacked across floors. The interior mixes seating bays, high tables and a long bar that encourages groups to cluster and conversation to ricochet. Lighting is mood-forward rather than bright; mirrored and textured surfaces, mismatched vintage furniture and framed prints give the space a deliberately eclectic, slightly retro character.Drinks, music and evening energy
The venue’s offering centres on cocktails and bottled beers with a menu designed for shared evenings rather than long formal meals. Sound is integral to the room: DJ sets and upbeat playlists create a pulsing backdrop, while quieter daytime hours settle into a more relaxed tone. Staff service focuses on table and bar delivery; the layout means queues can form at peak times, and the atmosphere can shift quickly from lively chat to a louder club vibe as the night deepens.Street presence and Bold Street context
From the pavement Soho’s projects a city-centre energy — windows and doors open in fair weather and outdoor seating expands the venue’s footprint. Bold Street itself is a multi-layered pedestrian-friendly strip of independent shops, cafés and eateries, and Soho’s sits among these neighbours as a nightlife anchor. The frontage and signage are designed to be visible from the pavement, drawing passers-by inside.Design details and vintage touches
Vintage accents are intentionally woven through the décor: retro light fittings, patterned upholstery and curated display pieces create a lived-in, secondhand charm. These design choices aim to feel warm rather than precious; the overall effect is familiar and informal, with visual interest in every corner for those who enjoy noticing small details.The social scene and seat types
Seating ranges from stools at the bar to small tables and banquettes suited to groups of friends. The venue’s multi-level plan offers pockets of slightly quieter seating, though no area is fully secluded. The arrangement suits social evenings, small celebrations and pre-club drinks, and the spatial rhythm encourages mingling rather than solitary lingering.Practical ambience and what to expect
Noise levels rise after sunset as music and conversation heighten; the venue’s compact nature means the feel is immediate and sociable. Lighting and décor combine to make the interior feel intimate and visually textured. As a city-centre bar with vintage style cues, Soho’s offers a condensed night-out experience: drinks, music and a lively crowd within a characterful but space-limited setting.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
