Based in the heart of Northwest England, Liverpool is also Britain's
favourite day trip destination according to the national tourist
board.
The waterfront area attracts millions of visitors each year to
admire the rejuvenated Albert Dock. The city centre is packed with
magnificent buildings and splendid architecture.
The Government is nominating Liverpool's waterfront and commercial
centre as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A range of theatres offer first class productions to rival London's
West End and many tourists just come to Liverpool for its exciting
nightlife.
The city centre has a wide choice of cafes, bars, pubs and clubs.
Mathew Street, the home of the Cavern Club, still attracts thousands
of Beatles fans from all over the world. The city is alive with
musicians, poets, writers, artists, painters, sculptors, designers
and architects - further enhancing its image as a European city
of culture.

Gay Scene

Number One, The Curzon, is perhaps Liverpool's best known "haunt"
which many people believe is actually a spaceship which takes off
every night after the last person's in, and doesn't land again until
everyone's ready to go home. Such is the lack of light inside, it's
entirely possible. It was also featured in the UK gay film "Priest"
in 1994. Paco's Bar is just a few hundred feet away from The Curzon,
with a more "established" clientele. The Lisbon is again right next
door, with an apparently "Cistine Chapel" -like ceiling (their words
and spelling) which is what they call poetic licence. Still, it's
very popular with the punters and has lately featured such enticing
spectacles as Barber Quartets.
Masquerade is only another few hundred feet awat and is rapidly
becoming one of the more popular venues for both young and old gay
men. It's right next to an excellent gig venue "The Lomax" (which
isn't gay, but hey...) Garlands is on the next road up and is host
to big evenings for serious gay clubbers, although it's far more
mixed now than it used to be.
Time Out hasn't had many customers lately, mainly because it was
burnt down in an arson attack a few months ago (which was apparently
not gay related, so don't fret) but it was a really nice small bar
with a good crowd in most nights. G-Bar is the other end of town
really with very garish walls and mixed crowds and occasional breakfast-bar
tendencies. It's next door at E2 (or "The Escape" as it's properly
known) that all the lesbian and gay indie and popkids spend their
weekends in Liverpool with "Poptastic" and "Lust" on Friday and
Saturday nights respectively.
And finally "Metz" is a mixed café bar in the centre of town, which
is quite expensive but has a great atmosphere apart from Friday
and Saturday nights when it just becomes a little bit too straight.
