Castle Street is one of the most popular nightlife areas in Liverpool City Centre, and for good reason, it is embellished with elaborate mercantile buildings, which now stand as homes to a wealth of restaurants and bars, however, there has been one luxury venue that many people have no been aware of, until now that is.

Opened for just over a year, The Lounge @ 62 is likely to be one of Liverpool’s best-kept secret spots for stunning drinks, well, until I, alongside others, start writing about it by publishing this article.

This sophisticated cocktail bar is nestled on the lower floor of the 4-star boutique 62 Castle Street Hotel.

The Lounge is situated within a Grade II-Listed former bank building. It was constructed in 1862, with the inscription of The North and South Wales Bank still above the entrance, although it was originally constructed for the Alliance Bank.

The Lounge @ 62 has been sympathetically reimagined, with the rich modern furnishings complementing the original features of its impressive past, like the ornate and decorative ceiling, the polished wooden panelling, and the glistening glass chandeliers.

Available in various sizes

The intimate and cosy lounge is not just an exclusive hideaway for hotel guests, it’s the perfect place for pre-drinks before a meal, a classy cocktail to get your evening with the girls off to a great start, or a quiet drink for two when you want the vibe to be chilled.

“We might be a best-kept secret now, but we don’t think we’ll stay a hidden gem for long.” - Levi Fearon, Bar Manager of The Lounge @ 62 on Castle Street.

Around opulent marble tables are elaborate chairs in shades of teal and golden-coloured velvet. Visitors can also choose to sit in snug and comfortable booths, or at benches which overlook Castle Street, enjoying the calm which contrasts to the bustling street outside.

Their table service means you do not have to worry about queuing at the bar, and can instead make the most of the attention of the venue's friendly staff.

The drinks menu you can choose from is select and carefully curated to include premium brand spirits and well-chosen wines, from crisp whites to warmer reds, alongside prosecco and Champagne.

Lounge @ 62’s expert mixologist is always on hand too to create the best French Martini with vodka, Chambord, vanilla Syrup, and pineapple Juice or a classic Margarita, or you can savour the ever-changing signature ‘62’ cocktail — while always being able to take advantage of super value two-for-one cocktails.

Music is provided by the Lounge’s resident DJ who offers a varying mix of tunes that’ll add to the easy atmosphere, yet leave you able to appreciate the relaxed ambience and continue a conversation.

Levi Fearon, Bar Manager of The Lounge @ 62 on Castle Street, said: “The Lounge @ 62 is just a beautiful bar, and a space that balances sophistication with comfort.”

He added: “We’ve only been here for a year and while we haven’t shouted out ourselves there are still many people who’ve found us and come back time and time again.”

He said: “We’re sociable, so we’d like to welcome more. Whether people fancy a couple of drinks before dining at The Ivy opposite, or want a cocktail before heading into the heart of town, come and say hello.”

Levi added: “We might be a best-kept secret now, but we don’t think we’ll stay a hidden gem for long.”
