Chameleon bar _320
WITH its bold interior and unusual cocktails, Chameleon is Liverpool’s hottest new nightspot.
The venue opened last month, and its central location, behind FACT, on Back Colquitt Street, makes it an ideal destination on a night out.
Managing director Matt Lawler is actually a dentist by trade, but thankfully Chameleon does not have a dentist’s chair in sight. However, the bar does have a slight medical theme – the inspiration for its design was taken from Damien Hirst’s short-lived Notting Hill restaurant, Pharmacy.
The artistic background of Chameleon’s birth shows throughout the interior, with its monochrome spiral-patterned walls, brightly coloured velvet furniture and all-white minimalist bathrooms.
And the drinks menu is just as creative, with a selection of cocktails based on some of the nation’s favourite desserts. This week’s favourite is a Lemon Gingerbread and Ice Cream Martini, for £5.50.
But, if Bakewell Tartinis and English Trifle Milkshakes aren’t your thing, then fear not, as more traditional beers, wines and spirits are also available.
The venue has its own stage and promises live music every night of the year. A weekly acoustic night takes place on Tuesdays, with an acoustic showcase on the first Wednesday of every month.
So, if you’re after a laid-back atmosphere, with good music and contemporary surroundings, then Chameleon is the place to be.
