About The Pilgrim
The Pilgrim is a grassroots music venue in Liverpool, Liverpool. PA system and vocal mics are provided; bring your own instruments and amps.
The Pilgrim books Acoustic, Covers, Indie acts. Both original music and covers are welcome. This listing is part of the Liverpool venue directory.
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.
