City centre venue shares reopening date after transformation

The venue recently celebrated eight years of welcoming customers in the city centre

Castle Street Townhouse is currently closed for renovation

Castle Street Townhouse is temporarily closed for refurbishment with the city centre venue preparing to show customers a new look. The Castle Street venue is currently closed for business and builders are on site helping to bring the make-over to life.

In a post shared on their social media channels, the venue shared an update on the renovation and revealed the date they would reopen with a special relaunch event. They said: “The refurb is in full swing! Who’s excited? We will be back open on the evening of Friday, January 17, with live music till’ late.”

The renovation is being carried out by Liver Build, with workers on site today helping get the transformation finished in time for tomorrow evening. Castle Street Townhouse recently celebrated eight years in business, with an anniversary in November last year.

Sharing the news of the venue’s eighth anniversary, they said: “Thank you for all of the support over the past eight years and we can’t wait to celebrate with you all night long.” The restaurant has become a popular destination on Castle Street since opening in 2016.

Castle Street has seen a number of changes in recent months, with even more openings expected in 2025. The street welcomed a Liverpool branch of The Ivy Brasserie last year, with a star-studded launch event and bookings taken up weeks in advance of opening.

Popular Turkish BBQ restaurant Elif also opened a new branch on the street, with a more formal dining space than its other restaurants across the city. Vietnamese restaurant Pho opened another branch on the street, and national chain Giggling Squid recently announced its plans to expand on to Castle Street.

Castle Street Townhouse offers a breakfast, brunch and bottomless brunch menu. The venue also hosts live music from Thursday to Sunday. Recently some customers have noticed that when they sit outside, their food arrives in boxes.

When contacted by the ECHO, a member of staff at Castle St Townhouse confirmed this was the case. They said: “We do serve our food outside and serve it in little takeaway boxes to stop the seagulls swooping in and getting your food. We’ve been doing it for a few months now.”

Seagulls appear to be becoming an increasing problem in Liverpool. Often referred to as ‘XL Gullies’, the volume of litter being dropped around the city centre is providing the perfect setting for the masses of super-seagulls we are now seeing, the ECHO previously reported.
