Having opened its doors back in April this year when an incredible 2,000 punters flocked to the venue on it’s very first day, Blackstock Market has continued to go from strength to strength.

The brainchild of Hot Water Comedy Club founders Paul and Binty Blair, this stunning entertainment venue offers something for everyone, there’s comedy nights, live music, sports screenings, mouth-watering street food and extensive drinks options. Future months will bring even more with the opening of Liverpool’s largest roof-top terrace, additionoal theatre spaces as well as podcast studios which will all compliment the already enormously successful 590 seat purpose-built auditorium, the new home of Hot Water Comedy Club.

Phase 2 recently saw the opening of a stunning bespoke bar, Whisky & Water which houses more than 320 whiskies, boasting the premier whisky collection inside the UK. The atmospheric bar looks stunning and gives off a gorgeous speakeasy vibe with the addition of two secret rooms which are set to open over the coming months. The first, which will be accessed through a hidden entrance, will transport guests back to the Prohibition era with classic cocktails while the second will be a basement jazz bar offering a cosy space to enjoy live music up close at ticketed events. This brand-new bar which opens Wednesday to Sunday 5pm until midnight really does feel special, the staff know their stuff while the clientele as with the rest of Blackstock Market are all about the good vibes.

Heading into the impressive auditorium you’re spoilt for choice with comedy offerings, on our visit the laughs came thick and fast from MC Phil Chapman, comedians Garry Little, Tony Carroll and Simon Wozniak. There’s an extensive mixture of free and ticketed show both throughout the week as well as multiple weekend shows, if you’re brave enough, you could even give the Monday night open mic night a try.

The recent addition of family friendly comedy shows Hot Water’s Comedy For Kids which take place on Sunday’s at 2pm add another brilliant string to Blackstock Market’s bow. With 50% of the venue still to open in further phases, Blackstock Market is fast becoming the most-loved destination venue in the city, you can guarantee we’ll be back, make mine a Whisky Sour with a dash of comedy on the side!
