About The Zanzibar Club
The Zanzibar Club has been a cornerstone of Liverpool's music scene, known for its intimate atmosphere, grassroots gigs, and unforgettable nights. With a capacity of around 300, the venue offers a front dance floor and a raised seating area along one side, plus a bar area that expanded from the upstairs/backstage space. Although the Seel Street location closed in November 2025, the Zanzibar spirit lives on nearby at Heebie Jeebies basement, continuing the tradition of hosting iconic acts and community-minded gigs. This page covers the venue's history, seating layout, transport options, and nearby hotels and dining to help you plan your visit or continue your event experience in Liverpool.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or exploring Liverpool’s live music scene for the first time, we’ve got you covered with straightforward ticket options, easy directions, and trusted partner recommendations for places to stay and eat in the central district.
Seel Street has long been a hub for music lovers, with convenient parking options in the city centre and multiple transit choices. For hotels, consider staying at Parr Street Hotel or Ropewalks Hotel, both within a short stroll of the former Zanzibar location, with other central options nearby. When you’re ready to grab a bite or a pre-show drink, nearby venues and eateries offer a range of options. If you’re planning to attend events that used to take place at The Zanzibar Club, verify current venue details for the event you’re interested in, as programming and branding updates may have shifted.
