There is plenty of the hot pink Instagrammable areas, and Barbiecore the brand has become synonymous with, however, the venue see’s inspiration from the wild-wild west meet all things bling and glam alongside lashings of bright green neon seen throughout the building.

We’ve seen great success from our sister sites across London, Bristol and Birmingham, so it only seemed right that we introduced Tonight Josephine to the ultimate party city. We’re looking forward to welcoming more people to Tonight Josephine Liverpool over the coming months.”
