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 and the bartenders who make them are the main draw, with reviewers repeatedly describing the staff as friendly and chatty and quick to suggest drinks. Spicy margaritas and Alexa cocktails get specific mentions, and one reviewer credits the team with original recipes alongside well made popular drinks. Another calls the Guinness the loveliest they have had. Food earns praise too: a lunch of homemade chips, steak strips and peppercorn sauce, a pizza and a cheeseburger both called dynamite, and a kinder cookie with ice cream from the dessert bar that had to be shared. Reviewers also mention a chilled atmosphere, event nights with jazzy twists on classic tunes, and no wait at the door. The caveats are cost and noise. One reviewer calls the drinks steeply priced and objects that a double rum and coke is poured without measuring cups, while another finds the music volume makes chatting hard. Still, a recurring moment is a bartender talking through favourite cocktails while making them.

“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!”
