Game on for Liverpool ONE virtual sports venue
Level Tap, a 6,500 sq ft facility offering visitors a chance to play and watch esports, is coming to Grosvenor’s retail complex.
The venue, located on Hanover Street within Liverpool ONE, is due to open in May.
Level Tap’s Liverpool site is the company’s debut bricks and mortar site and will provide a variety of consoles for visitors to use, as well as broadcasting esports events for people to watch.
“Liverpool is increasingly becoming a huge gaming centre, with a renowned status for games development,” said Adam Rydings, Level Tap founder.
“Combine this with Liverpool ONE’s reputation as the city’s central hub, home to a community of innovative F&B, retail and competitive socialising outlets, the new Hanover Street unit seemed the obvious choice in which to open our debut venue.”
The upper floor of the venue be a base for streamers and competing teams and the lower level will house a lounge area, with bar and dining tables, as well as seating for more than 100 people.
Level Tap, designed by K2 Architects, will also offer gaming-themed food and drinks.
Rob Deacon, senior asset manager at Grosvenor, added: “Level Tap’s exciting new concept is at the forefront of the growing Esports market.
“Combining the gaming world, with a hospitality-led experience, it makes sense to introduce such an innovative and relevant concept to Liverpool ONE, where we are committed to pushing the boundaries of leisure and active entertainment.”
Metis and Starka acted for Liverpool ONE, whilst Level Tap dealt directly.
Good news for Grosvenor ,and Hanover Street which has had a few setbacks due to Covid, the big chinese buffet closed but I heard this will be split into 3 units. The street is very busy and I think there would be demand for a Morrison`s Market Kitchen, like they have in Bath.
Also on that street we are still awaiting action on the Gostins Building being converted into a Nyx hotel.
