Upstairs bistro

Image of the Upstairs bisto by Alex WolkowiczUpstairs at the Bluecoat is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a freshly prepared meal in a creative setting. Situated on the first floor, we offer wonderful city views as well as the very best in locally sourced produce.
With contemporary local art adorning the walls complimented by an up to the minute menu & innovative wine menu, Upstairs is the perfect place to entertain friends or perhaps enjoy a romantic meal for two in the very heart of cultural Liverpool.
The bistro’s close proximity to many local performance venues as well as our own performance space makes it the perfect stop for a pre-show meal or refreshing interval drinks.
We also have a special children's menu (under 12s), smaller portions of our adult meals and creative children's activities available, making Upstairs at the Bluecoat an attractive destination for all those little explorers.
The Upstairs bistro is located on the first floor which may be accessed through the front entrance and turning left immediately. Pass the Tickets and Information desk and continue towards the glass doors. The lift is situated behind the doors to the left hand side and the bistro is located on the second floor. Alternatively you may access the bistro from the courtyard through the historic staircase side entrance by following the chalkboard sign.
