The Arts Club in Liverpool can be found on Seel Street in what was originally part of the old Royal Institution of Arts and Sciences. Although part of the Academy Music Group of venues, it’s still got a lot of its own character, and is a fine place to catch a gig. It has two gig rooms, one considerably larger than the other, but both deliver great sound, hence the venue drawing some of the best small touring acts around.
