Liverpool One falls under The Alchemist’s spell

Property group Grosvenor Europe has announced that Aether, the new concept bar from the team behind the award-winning brand The Alchemist, has opened its debut location in its Liverpool One retail centre.

Situated next to The Club House on Chavasse Park, the 1,600 sq ft bar, designed by Nottingham-based interior design agency Macaulay Sinclair, is staying true to The Alchemist’s offer, with a menu that features 21 cutting edge and classic cocktails inspired by the elements.

The bar also has an immersive performance area for artists from neo-soul, jazz and hip-hop genres, a distinctive live music space for up to 50 guests, and an additional alfresco seating area overlooking Chavasse Park for 80 covers.

Simon Potts, managing director of The Alchemist group, said: “It’s been brilliant to see an exciting new concept become a reality over the last few months and we are delighted to be launching this amazing idea at Liverpool One.

“We know the area well and think Aether will beautifully complement the exciting line up of food and drink venues that Chavesse Park already offers.”

Alison Clegg, director, asset management, Grosvenor Europe, added: “We’re thrilled to announce the opening of Aether, which will further strengthen the evening offer at Liverpool One.

“The team at The Alchemist and Macaulay Sinclair have created a stunning new bar in a unique and attractive location within the city.”

The opening follows the recent announcement that Liverpool One is to welcome Junkyard Golf Club in early 2019.

Cushman & Wakefield and Metis Real Estate Advisors acted for Liverpool One.

Westmark Estates and Harlow Property Consultants both represented Aether, on behalf of The Alchemist.
