Things To Do This October In Liverpool

Named after Queen Victoria's husband as a tribute to his Anglo-Bavarian heritage and as a nod to his love of the performing arts, Albert's Schloss is a party bar like no other, decked out with Alpine-inspired furnishings (think chopped wood and twinkly fairy lights).

It hosts live entertainment every night of the week, so there's always something to look forward to while chowing down on gooey fondue or currywurst. Check out the likes of Kunst Kabaret on Wednesdays, where proactive performances dominate the stage, or enjoy live piano music and endless requests on Thursdays with Baby Grand Slam. Better yet, entry is free.
