THE IVY Brasserie has announced when it will be opening its new restaurant in Liverpool city centre.

On Tuesday (October 22) The Ivy celebrated its restaurant lines going live with a giant vault in the middle of the city centre.

The vault, planted in the middle of Church Street, was unveiled for Liverpool residents to ‘crack the code’ and get their hands on a range of prizes.

The giant vault was manned by The Ivy ‘security guards’ who helped guests select their very own mystery prize from among hundreds, each hidden in an gold envelope.

Opening on Castle Street just in time for the festive season, The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie will open its doors on November 19 and will be home to a beautiful 180-capacity main restaurant-bar, with an accompanying 14-person dazzling private dining room for events, special occasions and large parties.

Located in the magnificent Grade I listed former Bank of England building, The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie is now available to book for all occasions, offering breakfast, brunch to late-night cocktails and a classic Sunday roast.

Kate Keyes, The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie’s General Manager, said: “It was amazing to welcome so many Liverpool residents to our very special Ivy Vault where everyone came away with an exciting prize.

“We’ve been overwhelmed with the response so far and can’t wait to welcome the people of Liverpool at The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie this November.

“You can now book your tables for The Ivy Liverpool Brasserie by calling 0151 808 1038 or visiting the website. The team and I can’t wait to welcome you at our new, stunning brasserie on Castle Street.”
