Enjoy a range of freshly prepared food and drink, served in the most opulent and historic room the City of Liverpool has to offer.
With all the daily newspapers and many of the popular magazines, the Newsroom is a great place to spend a couple of hours relaxing or meeting friends and guests. A fully stocked bar and a great menu are combined with the most professional and personal service.
The Newsroom is one of the most welcoming and well-loved spaces in the Athenaeum. It has a relaxed, comfortable feel that makes it easy for people to settle in and enjoy their time, whether they are staying for a few minutes or an entire afternoon. The room is thoughtfully designed, with classic features, warm lighting, and comfortable furnishings that create a sense of familiarity and ease. It strikes a balance between elegance and informality, making it equally suited to quiet reflection and lively conversation.
Conversations flow easily here, and the space supports both spontaneous meetings and planned visits. With its timeless character and friendly presence, The Newsroom plays an important role in everyday club life and is often a first choice for members looking for a welcoming place to spend time.
The Newsroom is a versatile space that works well for a wide range of events, from professional gatherings to relaxed social occasions. We regularly host meetings, talks, panel discussions, small receptions, private gatherings, and informal celebrations in this room. Its size and layout make it ideal for events that benefit from a more personal and engaging setting.
The space can be arranged to suit your needs, whether you are planning a casual setup that encourages conversation or a more structured arrangement for presentations or discussions. Furniture can be adapted to support different formats, and the room’s natural warmth helps events feel welcoming rather than formal. Guests often comment on how comfortable and approachable the space feels, which makes it easier for people to connect, share ideas, and enjoy the occasion.
