In an era where a lot of pubs, bars, restaurants and clubs are closing daily the Irish themed venue has really stood the test of time.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/515261379_122260424354017410_6830624287810321096_n-e1758159981354.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226330\"\/>Credit: McCooley\u2019s Liverpool<\/p>\n<p>McCooley\u2019s in Concert Square, which opens from 8am daily, is a popular spot in Liverpool, known for its affordable food and drinks, live sports coverage, pool tables\u00a0 and student-friendly atmosphere, making it a go-to location for student nights and social gatherings in the heart of the city\u2019s entertainment district.\u00a0 With over 20 HD televisions and 4 projector screens the venue is always packed for the big games and UFC\/Boxing events..<\/p>\n<p>Concert Square has really evolved since McCooley\u2019s opened and the area has seen many changes including more news sites opening, more food offerings and a retractable roof across the square, for when the weather takes a turn.<\/p>\n<p>Phil Gillespie \u2013 Head of Marketing for Pub Invest Group said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince opening back in 2015 McCooley\u2019s has become a firm favourite in Concert Square. The venue evolves throughout the day. From local workers popping in for breakfast at 8am,\u00a0to students calling in midday for games of pool,\u00a0to the go to venue for all sports and live music later in the day. McCooley\u2019s offers a wallet friendly range of pub foods as well as an extensive well priced range of beers and its laid back warehouse feel has made it a really popular place for both locals and visitors into the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The venue helped cement its student links with several long standing sponsorship deals with LJMU and University of Liverpool and their teams.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/473717188_122226494528017410_6549763965528599784_n-e1758159944468.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226328\"\/>Credit: McCooley\u2019s Liverpool<\/p>\n<p>Phil added: \u201cFood was not really a thing on Concert Square back in 2015 and McCooley\u2019s helped change that. Even now in these harsh cost of living times you can still get a full Irish Breakfast for only \u00a37.50 or a\u00a0mixed sharing spice box for only \u00a310. This is key to what McCooley\u2019s is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two years after the Concert Square site opened, McCooley\u2019s opened a second site across the city centre on Temple Court in 2017,\u00a0 just off Mathew Street, and this has become a firm favourite in the Cavern Quarter.<\/p>\n<p>So what next for McCooley\u2019s 10 years after opening?<\/p>\n<p>Phil adds: \u201cWe\u2019ll continue doing what we\u2019ve been doing so well and what has proven so popular across the city. McCooley\u2019s is the place to be for any night out, it\u2019s been at the centre of the major events for the city such as the Champions League celebrations and Eurovision and I\u2019m pretty sure it\u2019s going to stay that way! We\u2019ll continue to build on what we have and make sure it\u2019s around for another 10 years to come\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the McCooley\u2019s website <a href=\"https:\/\/mccooleys.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><br \/>\nFind out the latest in Liverpool <a href=\"https:\/\/theguideliverpool.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find out what\u2019s good up North on our new platform, The Northern Guide.\u00a0<br \/>\nFrom the best hotels, beauty spots, days out, food and more up North \u2013 visit<a href=\"https:\/\/thenorthernguide.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u00a0thenorthernguide.com<\/a>\u00a0and follow The Northern Guide on Instagram\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thenorthernguideuk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"McCooley\u2019s is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month.
