A new Iberian-style wine bar and cafe is set to open in Liverpool’s premier food and drink area.

BoBo will take over the former Veeno site on Castle Street and will sit among some of the city’s most popular and highly-regarded restaurants and bars.

It will feature an all-day drink and snack menu with Spanish and Portuguese influence.

This will include sharing jugs of sparkling sangria, a diverse and interesting wine list and an all-day grazing brunch offer at weekends.

BoBo will also have a private space for wine tastings, locked door dinners or for guests to hire for their own celebrations, meetings or informal gatherings.

The venue says it aims to offer a slice of European cafe culture in the middle of Liverpool city centre, a place to meet, chat, exchange ideas or sit quietly and watch the comings and goings through the window or enjoy great coffee and a fresh Pastel de Nata with a newspaper, a true tasca.

It will be another addition to the growing hospitality-focused establishments in and around Castle Street and is the sister venue of Abditory bar located on Queen Avenue, a stone’s throw from Castle Street. It is the second venue from Lucky Penny Consultants, also located on Queen Avenue.

Josh Moore, co-director of Lucky Penny Consultants, said: “We love the food and drinks of Spain and Portugal but didn’t want to just do another tapas joint, we want BoBo to feel a bit more modern and contemporary.

Steven Burgess, Lucky Penny Consultants co-director, added: “Castle Street is such a great location and when the old Veeno site came up we just knew it would be perfect for BoBo.

“BoBo is going to be like you are back in that great cafe just round the corner from that hotel you stayed in on your last city break, we want to create a neighbourhood stop for all walks of life.”
