Arts Bar Baltic
Quick info
About Arts Bar Baltic
On Parliament St, Arts Bar Baltic is a live music bar built around event nights of live or themed music, including jazzy takes on classic tunes. The kitchen turns out homemade chips with steak strips and peppercorn sauce, pizza, and cheeseburgers, with a dessert bar including a kinder cookie with ice cream. Cocktails are a focus, and bartenders offer recommendations to help customers pick a drink, alongside craft beers and wine. Seating includes chairs at the bar itself, and the space runs on a walk-in basis. The bar recently underwent a refurbishment and sits in the Baltic area, near other local event venues. Music at times plays loud enough that conversation with company becomes difficult.

Customer Review Summary
Cocktails draw the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly singling out bartenders for spicy margaritas, original cocktail recipes, and recommendations tailored to their taste. Close behind, food gets consistent mentions, from homemade chips with steak strips and peppercorn sauce to pizza, a cheeseburger, and a kinder cookie dessert with ice cream. The live music and event nights, including jazzy twists on classic tunes, add to a chilled, sociable atmosphere that most describe as a great vibe, though one reviewer notes the volume makes conversation hard. A pint of Guinness also earns a specific mention. One reviewer calls the experience mediocre, reporting a double rum and coke priced at £10.20 poured without measuring cups, calling it brutal and pretentious, a contrast to the otherwise strong praise for the bar staff's attentiveness and chattiness across visits.

“Mediocre. The atmosphere is decent but the drinks are insane. 10.20 for a double rum and coke, and you're left to the whim of the bartender as they don't even use measuring cups. Brutal and pretentious”

“My new favourite bar in Liverpool. The staff are friendly and sociable, as well as highly skilled and experienced mixologists. They make popular drinks to an excellent standard, while also displaying genuine creativity and artistry through their original recipes. In terms of both drinks and music, this is a place where you can enjoy your comfort zone, while still being encouraged to step outside of it, if you want to. Arts is already one of the best spaces to spend time at in this city, and it's still continuously improving in the hands of an ambitious and passionate team.”

“Popped in to have a few drinks with a friend. No wait at the door, was able to pull up chairs to the bar and enjoy the music and catch up. Ethan and Iona were very attentive and chatty giving us great recommendations for different drinks we might like!”
