Liverpool named Britain’s best nightlife destination by TripAdvisor
The Cavern Club LIVERPOOL was last night named the best place for nightlife in the UK.
The city came first in a poll conducted by travel website TripAdvisor, with Manchester coming second and London third.
The tourists taking part in the poll singled out some of the city's legendary venues such as The Cavern Club and Royal Court Theatre, while Albert Dock, Liverpool Cathedral and the Walker Art Gallery were mentioned as great day- time attractions.
Dave Jones, director of Cavern City Tours, said: “The Cavern Club is the cradle of British Pop Music – it’s the very place where The Beatles’ musical identity was formed.
“We welcome visitors from across the globe keen to experience the unique appeal of The Cavern.
“The club plays a massive part in the city’s nightlife scene, and last year attracted 650,000 visitors wanting to hear that evocative Cavern sound.”
The poll was based upon the average ratings by TripAdvisor’s users during 2011.
Only two of the top 10 in the nightlife list were southern England destinations. Brighton was fifth in a list that also included Glasgow, Leeds, Cardiff, Belfast, Blackpool and Edinburgh.
Lorraine Rogers, chief executive of The Mersey Partnership (TMP), tourist board for Merseyside, said: “Visitors to Liverpool can watch a live band in one of our fantastic venues, including the world-famous Cavern Club, or enjoy a show at our stunning arena and theatres; visit the UK’s highest restaurant or visit the clubs and bars in Ropewalks and Albert Dock.
"It’s a city that welcomes visitors and appeals to all ages and all budgets.”
Emma Shaw, a spokesman for TripAdvisor, said: “Liverpudlian's should be thrilled their city has been crowned Britain’s best nightlife destination.
The city boasts thriving live music and comedy scenes, along with great clubs, bars and restaurants.”
