Welcome to Haus of Fun on Stanley Street
13 hours ago
Liverpool is home to the biggest LGBTQ+ event space outside London!
It’s hosted by the FunnyBoyz, whose owner, Drag Queen Linda Gold, revived three bars in the Pride Quarter to help transform the city into a celebrated gay tourism destination.
And now those amazing venues have been brought together to create one massive city ‘superclub’ in Stanley Street’ with three fantastic floors and space for up to 1,000 people to have the time of their lives.
So if you’re ready to party, welcome to the Haus of Fun …
Haus of Fun
You might already know about the Haus of Fun and its incredible FunnyBoyz. From their Cabaret ShowBar home in Blundell Street – and other venues across the country – the FunnyBoyz have created one of the most unique and iconic experiences, where you can mingle with its Drag Queens while enjoying hilarious Drag Shows, tribute acts, cocktail masterclasses, bottomless brunches, Benidorm Bingo, cheesy tunes and great value drinks.
But did you know there are other bars and clubs within the brilliant Haus of Fun brand that have been united to create a gigantic superclub within the heart of Liverpool?
Room One is Benidorm Bar: Inspired by the hilarious TV comedy show, Benidorm’s a bar with sass and great fun vibes. Perfect for a Pride celebration, birthday, Hen or Sten Party – or just a night out with the gays and gals – it’s got to be the cheesiest place you’ll visit with wacky DJs, Bingo, games like Spin The Wheel and Play Your Cards Right, as well as karaoke and pool tables. It’s got some of the best tribute acts going too, including a resident Shania Twain and, even, Benidorm’s own Dolly Parton … so you can bet that Here You(ll) Come Again.
Room Two is Dysco that’ll take you back to the ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s and ‘00s with DJs playing all your favourite tunes from across the decades. It’s Abba-inspired to help you be the Dancing Queen, and it’s also where you’ll find Haus of Fun’s sexy male strippers from the world-famous Dreamboys.
Last but not least, Room Three is the Navy Bar 2.1: It’s cabaret with a capital ‘C’ because at this Haus of Fun showbar and nightclub every night starts out with the biggest diva hits ever made courtesy of its resident Drag Queen, and then you can get ready for celebrity DJs bringing you the best clubland and techno & house until 5am.
Say Cheers
From bar crawls to benders and the best bottomless brunches, the Haus of Fun has got some crazy drinks deals across all its amazing venues. Its Pride Quarter Bar Crawl, for example, is only £21 for 90 minutes of unlimited booze – and that includes anything from your favourite beer, a glass of fizz, or a cheeky summer cocktail.
Not just about the nights
The doors are open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week, and as well as party nights and other fun events, the Haus of Fun’s bars and clubs remain lively and important hubs for the LGBTQ+ community, hosting book clubs and movie nights, coffee socials, and useful and fun panels and talks.
Safe space
Above everything, The Haus of Fun offers a safe space for the community and support, especially, for the trans community, always aiming to bring everyone together in celebration and solidarity whichever room or venue you’re in. Merseyside Police, who sponsor LCR Pride, have designated Haus of Fun as one of the city’s SAFEST spaces for women in the LGBTQ community.
Linda Gold adds:
“All my venues are considered safe, inclusive spaces, so while we don’t exclude anybody, our zero tolerance policy ensures that at the first sign of disrespect or trouble, they’re out.
“We attract the most respectful customers and regulars who we love; there really is no safer place for the LGBTQ+ community than our venues.”
