Liverpool

About The Pilgrim

This is the background on The Pilgrim, from the venue and its listings. It books acoustic, covers and indie acts. It has live music 1 night a week.

The Pilgrim is a grassroots music venue in Liverpool. It books Acoustic, Covers, Indie.

Listing notes

The ‌‌‍Pilgrim is a Liverpool institution tucked into an 18th-century former warehouse on Pilgrim Street in the city's Georgian quarter, and for over four decades it has been a haunt for the city's artists, musicians, students and bohemians. The long cellar bar — 1950s-style booth seating, a jukebox and a sun-trap courtyard out back — runs a weekly music open mic night (every Thursday from 7pm), giving emerging local talent a low-pressure stage for both originals and covers. Open seven days a week from midday till late, it is an unpretentious grassroots spot rather than a ticketed gig room: a PA is provided and the atmosphere is famously welcoming to first-timers.
