Set on Wavertree High Street, Wavertree Town Hall in Liverpool has been a local landmark for over 150 years and the famous site will be opening once again this Spring, under new ownership.
The restaurant, bar and function space closed its doors last October, 2025, under the previous management and thankfully one of Liverpool’s most experienced leisure group operators are investing in the site and bringing it back to life.
Wavertree Town Hall is a municipal building in the High Street of Wavertree, in South Liverpool. The structure, which was once the offices of Wavertree local board of health, is a Grade II listed building.
The building was designed by the local architect, John Elliot Reeve, in the neoclassical style, built in stone with a stucco finish and was completed in 1872.
The external appearance of this beautiful listed building looks very regal with all the grand charm and class of a Town Hall. Internally the original features will all be kept.
The site will continue to be split across 3 areas Firstly the front of the Town Hall will be a very cosy and traditional pub serving locally sourced hearty foods such as steak and ale pie and scouse. There will be no TV’s in here and it will contain an open fire. This will be complimented by the larger back bar which will show all major live sporting events and feature dart boards. Sundays will be a key day at the Town Hall with Sunday Lunch served across both of the ground floor spaces.
Lastly the upstairs space will be a Function Lounge. This is the largest of the 3 areas with a total capacity of around 100 and will be a perfect location for private parties, christenings etc…
Nicola Halton, Business Development Manager for the Harrison Group said: “We are well into our refit of this site and look forward to bringing this much loved old building back to life. Wavertree Town Hall is such a stunning building and to be given the chance to take up this project as custodians is a real privilege.
Works will be complete and the site ready to re-open later this Spring. The site will also create around 20 new full and part-time jobs in our sector when we open.
