A family-friendly pool bar and cocktail venue has shut its doors nine months after opening. Rack Em Up<\/a>, located on Seel Street<\/a>, was launched by couple Daniel Fox and Emma Henry, who aimed to create a warm, welcoming venue suitable for all ages.<\/p>\n The bar took over the basement space previously home to the ball pit cocktail bar Ball Park<\/a>, officially opening on January 31. Following renovations, the space was fitted out with nine televisions, six pool tables, and several dartboards.<\/p>\n Guests could enjoy a virtual darts experience that allowed players to take on opponents around the world through a live digital scoring system. Rack Em Up<\/a> also held an on-site kitchen offering a classic sports bar menu with pizza, burgers, chips and wings.<\/p>\n Rack Em Up<\/a> invited all ages to enjoy the space throughout the day until 9pm. Afterwards, the venue switched to an adult-focused atmosphere open until late with cocktails and a DJ.<\/p>\n Emma Henry did not wish to comment on Rack Em Up<\/a>‘s closure. The venue’s departure is the latest on the street after popular night life venue Peacock closed during the summer.<\/p>\n However it wasn’t all bad news as the venue reopened as a traditional pub concept named Crooked Crown on August 15 It came after a major refurbishment allowing the pub to expand after its owners, Pub Invest Group, bought the former solicitors\u2019 office next door.<\/p>\n The venue is said to have \u201cthe look and feel of a classic pub\u201d to reflect the changes in the city\u2019s hospitality scene, with more people opting for venues with more of a \u201clocal vibe\u201d, according to the team.<\/p>\n Hoggin’s at the Park, an open air venue on Seel Street, recently secured after opening hours to coincide with the Freshers rush. The business<\/a> previously requested a licence to trade in the venue previously known as “The Park”.<\/p>\n In doing so, the firm hoped to vary the existing premises licence alongside the name change to Hoggin’s at the Park.<\/a> The owners successfully extended the license from the midnight to 3am last week.<\/p>\n General manager Calum said: “We are pleased to announce we now have a later licence at Hoggins at the Park. With this now in place, we can now plan for new events and promotions at the site.”<\/p>\n![\"Rack](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/1758651252_943_0_Rack-Em-Up-Pool-BarSeel-StreetLiverpool-city-centrePic-Andrew-Teebay.jpg\")
