Liverpool welcomes risqué new bar – Behind Closed Doors

One of Manchester and Leeds’ most talked-about late-night bars is about to make its Liverpool debut.

Behind Closed Doors, famous for its risqué cocktails, plush booths and phones on every table so you can call across the room, opens this Friday 12 September on Colquitt Street.

The concept first launched in Manchester’s Northern Quarter in 2017, inspired by the area’s x-rated video shop history and kitted out with a mix of 60s and 70s living room style, retro glamour and a touch of mischief. A Leeds site followed in 2024, and now Liverpool’s getting its own slice of debauchery.

Step inside and you’ll find velvet booths, moody lighting, a DJ booth made out of trolleys, and the quirky trademark telephones that let you chat (or flirt) with other tables. Add in a cocktail list of both classics and cheekily-named house creations, plus a soundtrack of funk, soul and disco, and you’ve got a bar that’s designed to get people talking – and dancing.

Behind Closed Doors Liverpool is also kitted out with spaces for every kind of night out. Groups of four to six can take over one of the intimate booths, while bigger parties can book the Mayfair Suite or Disco Room for up to 30 people. Drinks packages range from beers and prosecco to cocktail and bottle bundles, with shot trays and birthday specials to really set the tone.

Nick Parr, Director of Behind Closed Doors, said:
“We’re so excited to open our doors in Liverpool. The city knows how to party, and Behind Closed Doors is equal parts sex, rugs, funk and soul. We’ve brought all the signature features people love – the phones, the DJ booth – plus some new touches especially for Liverpool.”

The bar will be open Wednesdays and Sundays from 5pm until 3am, and Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until 4am.

To celebrate the launch, Behind Closed Doors is giving away some huge prizes on Instagram – including a trip to Amsterdam for four, private hire of the Liverpool bar with a £500 bar tab, and multiple booth packages. To enter, head to their social media, share the post and tag four mates before 30 September. Winners will be announced on 3 October.
