Purveyors of fine music....

For almost 50 years the Magnet (formally known as The Sink) has been the place to find good music and a friendly atmosphere.  The venue has its own well established community of artists, musicians, and creative minded people who give The Magnet its distinct identity.  Having played host to music legends such as Gilles Peterson, Roy Ayers, Louie Vega and Norman Jay to name but a few, the Magnet is the place to experience world class music in the truly distinctive and intimate surrounding.

At street level Magnet offers a relaxed mood where you can enjoy your drinks at the bar or snuggle up with friends in one of the cosy booths.  It’s the perfect place to prepare for the evening ahead withresidents playing the grooves that help give Magnet its unique atmosphere. There is nowhere else quite like it in Liverpool; you’ll hear jazz, soul, funk, rare groove and Latinesque flavoured beats.  “It really is one of the good things in life.”

Downstairs is where the party really goes off.  The Sink home of our awesome 13.8Kw Funktion ONE sound system (the quality and clarity of the sound has to be experienced to be believed) and you will hear music like nowhere else in the city.  Night after night you will hear the best in live music and the best sets from the best DJ’s from around the world.

You can cool down in the Fish Tank where the vibe is distinctly chilled.  You won’t be disappointed by the music either; it’s everything you’d expect from the Magnet, just not quite so loud! 

The line-up for the coming year affirms Magnet’s place in the music scene and leaves little room for doubt that it lives up to its heritage.  The legend lives on.

Opening Times and Admission Requirements:

Admission may be by ticket only on certain nights.

There is often a queue at the door and admission to the Magnet is totally at the discretion of the management.  Please remember that we only like nice people and you definitely won’t get in rotten drunk, leery, narky, lippy to the door staff or if you’re a ‘scruffy get’.  So sort yourself out with some smart gear and get down here and have a good night out.

Additionally, The Magnet is a great place for a party and can be available for private use. Ring for more information.
