Liverpool’s newest cocktail bar, restaurant and event space, District House has officially opened its doors, creating 60 jobs.
Located on Water Street, an area of the city that is experiencing a huge surge of new food and beverage operators, the venue has capacity for up to 600 guests as an event space or 350 diners across the new cocktail lounge, restaurant and private dining mezzanine.
Operated by Know Hospitality and privately owned, more than £1m has been invested in refurbishing the venue.
Steven Hesketh, founder of Know Hospitality, said:
“We’re immensely proud of this new venue which has brought a beautiful space back to life. District House is completely unique in its offering for this part of the city and we have been overwhelmed by the support shown by local businesses and guests during our soft launch period.”
Founded in October 2013, The Know Collection, which includes Know Hospitality Management Services, Know Property & Facilities Management Services and Know Hospitality Academy, now employs more than 120 staff and has a £6m turnover.
District House is the latest addition to its management portfolio which also includes The Richmond Aparthotel in Hatton Garden, Ameriesko Coffee Shop and ESK Fitness & Beauty.
Andy Duckworth, director of Know Hospitality, added:
“This is the start of an exciting period of growth for the Know Collection and we’re hoping to bring several new concepts to the city over the coming months. Having recently joined the board, District House is a fantastic project to be working on and we know the whole team will work hard to make it a huge success.”
