Liverpool Olympia

[Rakti]

Just booked tickets to see Doves at the Olympia, in the process of booking a hotel. I realise its in West Derby but is that within walking distance from Lime Street station or any advise on what hotel to book? Also got to be within a stones throw of The Lisbon.

Cheers.

The Olympia's 20 to 25 mins walk from Lime Street mate.
Havn't a clue on hotels, and it'll depend on your budget.

Cheers, hotels are cheap as chips at the moment for obvious reasons.

Get a city centre hotel and take a taxi to the Olympia and back into town after the gig mate - no need to walk it.

Thanks, just wasn't sure what the taxi situation would be like getting back. I've booked the Ibis on Dale Street. Thanks for the advice.

I'm not 100% but I think there's at least a couple of buses go past till pretty late (around 11pm-12) heading back into the city centre as well.

I don't think I'd be hanging around at a bus stop in that area , at night , get a taxi @Rakti it will probably only cost you iro £5-£6

Yer Olympia right on the edge of town by the royal, would get a city centre hotel though as the olympia and the surrounding area is a dive

You'll be sound there mate . There are normally a few black cabs on a little rank waiting outside the olympia,after gigs have finished mate, so you shouldn't have a problem.

You could always book a private hire cab as well mate.

Have a boss gig.

Good venue that for a big band

Have you thought about having a look for an Air BnB ?

Probably similar priced to a hotel and loads of them in the City Centre.

It is a great place to watch a band. Small(ish) but large enough to find a bit of space at the back and they actually put enough staff on the bar.

Went watching Happy Mondays a couple of years back. I'd cynically figured the tour was more about paying the taxman than any real desire to play but they were really good. My abiding memory though is Rowetta having to make a costume change as her original choice of top was really struggling to fully contain things when she was dancing.
