With a student population of 70,000, Liverpool is a city that can’t be beat for its nightlife.  With so many students in the city, you will find that the pubs, bars and restaurants tailor their activities, music and prices with the student budget in mind.  Look out for many of the midweek promotion nights, especially designed for students.  They offer even cheaper than usual drink prices and free admission.  Unlike London, most of the pubs and bars remain open until 4am.

Upon your check in at the Embassie, the staff will provide you with a detailed map if you would like to go on a Liverpool “pub crawl”.

The Embassie offers a calendar of events and specialised music venues.  The residents at the hostel are a great source of information on where to find the best pubs and bars in Liverpool.  Usually the hostellers will go out as a group to enjoy the nightlife, so you needn’t worry if you are travelling alone.

The Embassie is a short, 10-minute walk from the city centre and the heart of clubland.  Once in the city centre, just listen to the music on a Friday or Saturday night and walk in the direction of the sounds.

For the Indie music scene, you may want to try the Krazy House, Mask and Zanzibar, all on Seel Street.

Possibly the best known venue in Liverpool is Cream which showcases Europe’s top DJs.  Clubbers from all over Europe come to the Embassie for a special night at Cream and, with no lock out or curfew at the hostel, you can enjoy yourself until the early hours.

Whether you enjoy usic from the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s, or the music of the millennium – Liverpool has something for everyone.  Take your pick of rock, pop, indie, garage, soul or house music – Liverpool has it all.

The drinking age in England is 18 and the government supports a zero tolerance towards drinking and driving.  A local law prohibits drinking out of glassware in the street in the evenings.
