The Oracle in Liverpool

Visited for a Halloween event and we were blown away! The magic is mind-boggling, the magicians are incredible, and the drinks are delicious. Highly recommend visiting and staying for a couple of hours so you can interact with multiple magicians.

Wow wow wow, still confused, but all in the best way!! Our ‘host’ and server was Ash, who was super friendly and efficient with everything. We had two people visit our table, a magic coin master, who was super impressive. And Charlie who blew our socks off and confused us in the most outstanding way with his tricks and mind games 👀 10/10, would recommend. Lovely cocktails and a great atmosphere. Get there early to avoid disappointment!

Just saw the Halloween show, A Tale of Blood and Shadow. The show last night was amazing! Kabir's magic had this eerie, almost otherworldly vibe that gave me chills. It wasn’t just about the tricks, it felt like he was tapping into something deeper. The way he connected with the audience made the whole experience unforgettable. I’ve seen a lot of magic shows, but this one left me feeling both amazed and unsettled in the best way. Definitely worth seeing if you get the chance.

Amazing visit. Great service and cocktails. Excellent magicians and mentalists. We will definitely be back.

Wow loved the whole experience from walking into the building, staff and service couldn't fault them, will certainly be going back. Entertainment was outstanding x

Unable to come as full, tried 4 times on Saturday at various times, can you not introduce booking so we can come, or at least highlight the quieter times on your website.

This was fun, the staff are great. Really cool.

Terry’s as good as it gets. Great company, and an exceptional performance.

Amazing bar can’t wait to go back again when we are next in Liverpool. The magicians were great, loved the cocktails and I don’t usually drink them. Even had a tarot card reading while we were there!

The Oracle was one of the most entertaining places I’ve ever been to. The staff are friendly and the magicians are so very skilled. Even if you try your best to look and figure it out, they stump you every time! Had a super good time!

Come here. Experience it for yourself. You will leave merry and amazed. Staff are welcoming, friendly and attentive. Words don't do this place justice. Just come and experience all they have to offer.

myself and family had a fantastic evening at the Oracle. Staff were very attentive, cocktails were beautifully presented but best of all were the amazing magicians! Would definitely recommend for a great night out with a difference in this atmospheric bar.

Classy speakeasy bar with a touch of magic!

Wow....a fantastic evening with fantastic staff....highly recommend an evening at The Oracle .....you won't be disappointed 😌

Amazing place, the customer service and entertainment for what you pay is incredible. The cocktails tasting brilliant is just an added plus

This place is perfect. We were fortunate enough to see 2 magicians whilst we were visiting. The passionfruit mojito was extremely good. The staff were friendly and service was fantastic.

Speakeasy in a perfect secret setting. Oh yeah and let's not forget the Magic - bloody amazing.

Absolutely incredible experience, staff all so friendly and happy to help at any point, drinks were beautiful we will definitely be back very soon

Brillant placé! Great staff and so entertaining. The cocktails were fabulous.

WOW. By far one of the best experiences I've had in liverpool. Amazing attentive staff, amazing drinks and a night to remember!

Very fancy cocktail bar - I’m not sure if you need to book we wandered in late one night and sat at the bar. The bottle beer was not great, but the cocktails were delicious. If you don’t mind spending a little bit of money, this is a great place to go.

Definitely worth it if you can find it! You buzz in and you pay £5 entry fee but it’s worth it for the service and entertainment! Cocktails were great and not overly expensive for a nice bar. Beautiful building and interiors.

Wow, just got my mind blown while drinking amazing cocktails.

It was an amazing experience. Great vibe!

A mysterious experience as soon as you press the buzzer to the unassuming doors. All staff played their roles incredibly well, and we truly felt we were transported back in time to a place of magic. The menu in itself is a great read, and the drinks were expertly crafted. We came as a group of 6, and were truly mind-blown by the magicians, in particular, Benjamin. Every jaw on the floor as he seemingly "read our minds". Would highly recommend for a unique experience in Liverpool.

Visited last night after recommendation absolutely great bar, great experience, super friendly staff, amazing magicians and tasty cocktails a really different night out will definitely visit again 😀

Staff were great. Drinks also very good and nice range on the menu. We had 3 magician's and all were amazing. Nice to find a hidden special type of bar, highly recommend

The most beautiful bar in Liverpool. We had a very special experience, the magicians and mind reader are brilliant !

We had a good time here at Oracle, love the secret entrance, notsomuch the stairs, but the cocktail choices are excellent and very delicious. The magicians and mind reader were a brilliant diversion and made for a truly different experience.

Made a booking for friends Hen and was told would be £45 per person which included a table and 2 cocktails. There was 10 of us booked so we paid our £450, then 2 more added and they agreed to let me pay the £90 on the day. When we arrived we were seated and the ladie who seated us told me that as we had paid and showed the £90 had been waved from our origional payment. Drinks were £12 each so between 12 of us this come to £288 still leaving them £162 in profit from our original payment of £450. We enjoyed our time and left saying bye. Later that night I was messaged by the person who took our booking saying we had left without payment, I explained what their staff had said, they abruptly said it wasn't the case and we still had to pay, which we have. Even my friends heard the staff say this so we split the money back between us all and I have now had to pay this £90 out of my own pocket because of their staff incompetents. This also means they charged £252 purely for keeping a table 5 till 7 on a Saturday (not even peak time) shocking customer service and would never return. Other cocktail bars in the earlier same vibe and better service and cheaper.

Amazing place! Such a great atmosphere and cocktails are just great!!!

Fantastic venue, really good experience last night

Great drinks. Nice atmosphere. There are magicians who do tricks at every table. Very much worth the visit. Large range of drinks.

Excellent - second time we have been - great venue, service and cocktails. Magicians are something else and this is a must visit place in Liverpool. Highly recommend.

Amazing cocktails and mind-blowing magic. Can't wait to visit again! 👌

The host Annabelle was so polite and friendly made me and my friend feel very relaxed and comfortable love this place so much, always coming back for more

This was an absolutely astounding experience from start to finish. We were greeted and seated by Annabelle who was delightful, the vibe was immaculate, the decor achingly cool, the drinks menu was an experience in itself and I ordered Death in the Afternoon which will blow your head off! The entertainment was mind blowing, the service was impeccable and I cannot rate this place highly enough. A really unique experience in Liverpool not to be missed!

We went to the Oracle last night for the first time and absolutely loved it. We didn’t know much about it before we went and it was absolutely brilliant. The drinks were lovely and the waitress - Annabelle - was great. We saw three magicians who were all amazing - couldn’t believe what we saw! It’s the next morning and we keep talking about how good it was. We will 100% return with family and friends and I’m already excited to do so. Thanks so much again, Jess and Jay, table 6!!

Delicious cocktails, a brilliant atmosphere and such incredible entertainment. My partner and I came here the evening we got engaged and it made our night so special. I would come back in a heartbeat.

The cocktail menu is impressive, and the cocktails themselves even more so. The entertainment is excellent. The service was fantastic too. It felt like good value for money. The evening spent here . Overall I think it is an excellent venue.

Unbelievable tricks from magician, perfect for a couple. Mind blown. 100% worth going back

Really nice cocktails, friendly staff and good atmosphere, also they have magicians doing card tricks at your table

Insanely good drinks with a very cool concept. Magicians (approx 3) will come to your table as you enjoy your drinks, with different styles of magic. Some are mind tricks, others card games. The drinks themselves are very unique & this bar has become one of my favourites in Liverpool!

This is our favourite place to take guests when the visit Liverpool. The drinks seem dear at first but this price includes a mini magic show at your table and is definitely worth it. The atmosphere is amazing

Amazing place! Never been to a bar like this anywhere. Drinks were delightful, the service impeccable, and the magicians...well we were left stunned. It's true that you need to wait a bit, but on a Saturday night we didn't have to wait more than 15 minutes luckily. It's worth the wait, however long. 100% recommended. Can't wait to take visiting family and friends here again soon.

Really cool little bar and we were blown away by some of the illusions that were performed at the tables. Staff were really welcoming and a great atmosphere inside

Mind was absolutely BLOWN by the magicians. The cocktails were also delicious and waiting staff so attentive. Everything about the experience was amazing and I would recommend to anyone. 10/10

Fabulous experience, really fun. Went early and made a great start to the evening.

Another fantastic visit to The Oracle. We took friends who have never been/heard of it and it just blew them away. The drinks that came where echoed by our friends faces and reactions to recieving them, they had never seen anything presented so theartricaly before. The entertainment from the illusionist and the mind reader that visited our table was top Las Vegas styling.

A secret bar providing such a unique experience and such attention to detail! I loved all of the small touches like the menus and the cosy dim lighting. The staff are so attentive and make everyone feel like special guests (our waiter James was fab), the cocktails are delicious and expertly made, and the magicians themselves are incredible! I was sceptical when I went in but my mind was absolutely blown. We stayed for about an hour and a half and had two magicians visit our table. They give you loads of time and engage the whole table of guests. Would 10/10 come again.

Love this place. So much that I shouldn't really tell you about it. But, it is great. And you should go... Many thanks to our table magicians Terry and Ash. Fantastic. Magic is real ♥️

We came this weekend as part of a hen do, there was 10 of us and to be honest we didn’t know what to expect. The service was fantastic from start to finish, Our magician was Benjamin and he was just incredible. After some mind reading type sorcery, he had some of us in tears (good tears), I don’t know how he did what he did but we were blown away. Will defo be returning, fantastic experience 🤩

I recently had an incredibly disappointing experience at The Oracle that I feel compelled to share. My friends and I decided to visit this establishment on a rainy Saturday night. We arrived with high hopes, only to be met with an appalling level of service that completely ruined our evening. Upon reaching the entrance around 10pm, we rang the buzzer and were greeted by a waiter who informed us that we could wait in Monro, a bar next door. He mentioned that if we saw people leaving, we should return and ring the buzzer again. However, what he failed to mention was that a queue would form in front of the door in the meantime. Trusting the waiter's instructions, we obediently waited in Monro for nearly 40 minutes, eagerly anticipating our turn. Finally, we noticed some people leaving and decided it was time to make our way back. To our dismay, when we reached the door, we found a couple of people waiting ahead of us. Nevertheless, we remained optimistic and rang the buzzer, expecting to be seated. To our utter disbelief, the same waiter who had given us the misleading instructions appeared before us again. This time, he bluntly stated that they couldn't accommodate us because we hadn't been waiting directly in front of the door. This turn of events left us feeling utterly frustrated and disheartened. It is important to highlight that our evening was significantly impacted by this incident. We had heard positive things about this bar and were genuinely excited to have a memorable night. Instead, due to the lack of clear and accurate information provided by the staff, we wasted an hour of our time and left feeling thoroughly disappointed. While I regret that I cannot provide the name of the specific employee who caused this ordeal, I can describe him as a person wearing glasses who was working on Saturday, July 15th. His actions, whether intentional or not, significantly tarnished our experience at this place. It is disheartening to encounter such poor service, particularly when one's expectations are high. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for the management of The Oracle. It is crucial to ensure that all staff members are adequately trained to provide accurate and transparent information to customers. Otherwise, the establishment runs the risk of alienating potential patrons and tarnishing its reputation. In light of the negative experience I had, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend The Oracle to others. It is my sincere hope that the management takes this feedback seriously and implements measures to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

Great service, great drinks, zero idea how the slight of hand person or the psychic did what they did. Will be coming back.

Magical cocktail bar (obvious pun but true). Such nice staff, atmosphere is electric, and entertainment is great. £5 cover charge and primarily walk-ins only.

Such a fun experience in this speakeasy. The decor is very atmospheric, the cocktails lovely, and the magicians were very entertaining and clever. Recommended to anyone for a different night.

Absolute hidden gem! Cannot recommend this place enough. Went here last night while on a hen do, and it was absolutely amazing. From the magicians to the front of house staff and the decor and atmosphere, just brilliant. We were a party of 7 and were visited by 3 magicians, who included every single one of us in some way. We honestly didn't want it to end and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The waitress who tended to us (with the red hair, I'm sorry I can't remember your name) was so friendly and couldn't do enough for us, fantastic service and a brilliant experience, thank you!

Absolutely loved visiting! Genuinely one of the coolest experiences. The magic was incredible too, no idea how most of it was done!! On the menu is the ‘grifters ticket’ where you can roll a dice for a surprise- i’d recommend it! Highlight of the evening was Benjamin’s mentalist tricks- still lost for words.

If you’re in Liverpool and looking for a night out with a difference this is the place to go! Amazing cocktails and even more amazing magicians! The host and bar staff are all first class too! I’ve taken a few sets of out of town friends here several times now and when I’ve since spoken to them they all ask “When are we going next?!” As it happens we’re making another trip before the end of the month and I cannot wait!

Excellent evening, well worth a visit if you are in Liverpool.

Visited for the first time and very impressed. Cocktails, ambience and magicians all excellent, as was the service. Well worth a visit and will be back.

There is nothing else like this in Liverpool. Just a phenomenal bar experience from start to finish.

A hidden speakeasy bar with magical entertainment of various talents, entry is difficult but worth the wait

This place sums up the city of Liverpool perfectly. A bit hard to find, phenomenally welcoming upon entry, stunning drinks, perfectly hospitable. The kindness exuded by the staff was top notch. Simply a perfect end to a perfect night.

Don’t think it’s an overstatement to say it’s the best bar I’ve ever been to. Friendly service, great drinks at good prices and excellent magicians. If you’re going to visit one place in Liverpool then this is it.

This bar is wonderful! Great cocktails, serving both the classic cocktails you'd expect and some different ones if you want to try something new. Really good value for money as well and excellent service. We visited on a Sunday evening and had no problem getting a table (we had heard good things so we're really hoping to visit and it's walk-ins only so was a relief!). We had two magicians come to our table that performed some amazing close up magic, and the general atmosphere was great! Will definitely be back next time we're in Liverpool.

What a place!!! We went to liverpool for the weekend, and my husband had decided to find some speakeasy. This was one of them we went to. We knocked on the door to the place, and when the door opened by a well-dressed waiter, we were told it would be £5 per person to which we were willing to pay. We were shown the way up the stairs and to a table. The waiter was very friendly and explained that someone would come to take our drinks order and that a magician would come to our table at some point. I shall not ruin it, but we were served with great service, drinks were delicious and different, the atmosphere was dark and mysterious, and the entertainment was exciting, engaging, and excellent. We left with satisfaction, a great experience and a very interesting pack of cards which we had purchased. We will certainly be returning, I highly recommend if you enjoy something different. 😍

I visited with my husband, my brother and his girlfriend and it was brilliant. We had a variety of cocktails including the cherry drop, strawberry shortcake, rhubarb and custard, truth serum, paper plane, June bug, Siren's call, Tokyo iced tea and a couple of seasonal cocktails - frost bite and a snowman and they were all delicious. There is such a wide variety on the menu so there is definitely something for everyone. The atmosphere and decor were great, they've really nailed the speakeasy vibe. And of course I can't forget the magicians! They were incredible. Both magicians came to our table during our stay and they were bother different but fantastic. We went last night and are still talking about bits from today with no idea how they do their acts! I would highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning.

Nothing else just 5 stars. Beautiful atmosphere with great drinks. Magicians were also amazing

Visited the oracle tonight unsure of what to expect. The cocktails are out of this world, they are well worth the price which I think is very reasonable (contrary to other reviews) I would definitely give the Monkey Paw a try if you are a creamy cocktail/ Whiskey lover. The magician… me and my boyfriend were stunned by how accurate he was and honestly made our night. Unfortunately we had another booking elsewhere for food so could not stay for the second magician, however our server kindly offered for us to come back later on with no entry fee as we had already been in, this was a lovely gesture. Could’nt recommend this place enough, they genuinely care about the work they do and it shows. Don’t hesitate if you are thinking of visiting. Thank you to all of the staff at The Oracle 🙏🏼😊

Went tonight with my partner. Arrived before opening hours and managed to secure a lovely close knit table. Everything was superb, waiters/waitresses and the magicians really created an experience not to forget. Would recommend to anyone! Thanks!

Had the most amazing time. The magicians were brilliant, each doing something different and captivating. We went for my husband's birthday and we were both truly blown away. The drinks tasted lovely, my favorite being a rhubarb cocktail. It can be a difficult place to get into but it's totally worth the wait. Already planning our next visit.

This place doesn't exist - utter scam. Bought tickets to go to some witch talk - nothing but scaffolding and closed buildings where they're supposed to be. They do magic tricks alright - made £90 disappear! It was a birthday present.Emailed and completely ignored.

You absolutely HAVE to visit this bar if you're visiting Liverpool. We visited on a Thursday in November so it was quiet but our visit was still fantastic. I won't go into too much detail about the experience we had because I wouldn't want to ruin the magic for other people but I will say OMG, what an incredible experience! As adults there's very few genuinely magical moments in life but one of the interactions we had in The Oracle absolutely blew me away! The cocktails are also great and the decor is very much in keeping with the theme. Reasonable pricing for a nice cocktail bar and the staff were lovely.

Amazing experience, friendly staff,really tastefull decor to suite the ambience. Totally unique. Can't wait to revisit.

Cocktails were the best we've had in Liverpool. We'll definitely be back despite the iffy toilet facilities

Amazing atmosphere, one of the best cocktail bars in Liverpool. Definitely worth a visit!

Terry, Maan and the team were fantastic will be recommending this place to everyone

Best cocktail bar I’ve been hands down, lovely elegant vibe and the magicians are brilliant. Definitely worth a try

I like secluded and cosy places with surreal twists. This place did surprise us!! artist choice in Liverpool to drink absentee.

This is a hidden gem in Liverpool, highly reccommend going here. The prices were so reasonable and the drinks were amazing and unique. There are also many enthusiastic magicians showing tricks at your table all included in the extremely reasonable price. The service was impeccable. No complaints. Cannot wait to come here again!!!

Omg great place drinks average cosy taste great tho. Magicians were both amazing well worth the £5 entrance fee will definitely be back and tell all about this great hidden gem. Great job guys added to a great night put ty

Came here, for the first time the other night, an WOW truly amazed by the guys going around the place, showing the tricks an illusion's , definitely be going back again to see some different stuff, 👍👍

Had a fantastic time here with my friend. We were lucky to see two magicians this evening and were really wowed. The service was fantastic, the drinks even better. An all round brilliant time! Thanks again

Admission fee is 5 pounds per person, but great cocktails, plus magician sit on your table for private show

Very different place and experience, if you can find it!!!

I can't help it, have to give this place the most honest review I can. First of all: expensive. Drinks range from 7 to 10 pounds and you have to pay 5 pounds for entry. Had a decent margarita but the Tokyo iced tea was one of the most boring drinks I've ever had, didn't even finish it. The most annoying thing was definitely the heat. It was BOILING HOT inside. There's no AC. Not even a fan, with 30°C outside. That makes me think the owner or owners don't even hang out at their own bar, because who would let their customers and staff melt inside like that and not purchase at least one fan straight away? And I'm not even mentioning the health aspects of it, didn't we learn anything from covid? Air needs to circulate. I spent a hellish hour inside that flu box and can't even imagine how much of a torture it was for the waiters working inside for 8 hours... The toilet is Alice in wonderland sized (also with no ventilation inside) and if you're overweight you can expect some difficulties with moving around (oh and there's only one for the whole bar so expect a line). The magicians are cool and do a great job but that's it, for 5 pounds the least I would expect is a comfortable toilet and a comfortable temperature inside. And for a 10 pound cocktail I would expect it do be done to perfection, which is not the case. Would not go back. Probably worth one single visit for the novelty factor if you never been and that's it!

Wow! What an absolutely fantastic experience. Im not going to say too much because you MUST go and take it in for yourself, pop to the non descript, sort of secret door just to see if there is space, you will NOT be disapointed!!!! The space was gorgeous and quirky. But the staff and magicians were next level. Julia, the fab server was warm welcoming and so fun to chat too. An absolute pleasure! The bar staff are genius. And the magicians Benjamin and Terry were absolutely awe inspiring. Cried, gassped, laughed and was totally blown away. Just go..its unreal!! Cant wait to get back to Liverpool to go back! Bring extra socks cause yours will be absolutely blown off!

There is an entry fee of £5 but believe me you will not be disappointed. Personally I’d go on a weekday when it’s not busy. I had such a wonderful experience the less I say the better…

Simply amazing! Wonderful service from bar staff and the magicians are incredibly talented. Cannot fault the place. My friends and I had a fantastic time.

This is absolutely the best hidden gem in Liverpool, hands down. I have never had so much fun at a venue more than I have at the oracle. If you're in liverpool and you don't make this a stop off, you're missing out. Service is incredible, drinks are perfect and the magicians are super skilled and entertaining. This is my new favourite place.

Easily the best bar I've been to. Anywhere. The cocktails are incredible - grown-up cocktails that pack a punch. Not watered down and full of sugar. Absolutely loved the Jewel Thief in particular. They were all worth every penny. The speakeasy vibe is pulled off with casual charm. With an easy-to-miss door, authentic Edwardian decor, a great selection of music, and lush glassware. As you might expect from magicians, there's real attention to detail. Which brings me to the main event: the magic. It was truly incredible. It truly made my night to see two fantastic performances right there at our table - and we even got to join in! I was left astounded and incredibly impressed by the two very distinct acts. And the table service was amazing! I have to thank our server, who not only kept the drinks flowing, and brought us water without even needing to be asked, but also gave us some fantastic recommendations for where to go after. I honestly could not have had a better experience. The only downside is that I don't live in Liverpool and won't be able to go back as often as I'd like!

Magical place! I have been to many cocktail bars in cities that are famous for night culture, such as Shanghai and London, but The Oracle still manages to be one of the most interesting bars ive been to. The drinks, the ambience, the kind staff, and of course, the magic tricks, were all so on point. A must-go in Liverpool.

Absolutely outstanding best bar I have been to in Liverpool by a country Mile service is outstanding cocktails are amazing strawberry shortcake cocktail was perfection definitely will go back and the performers were incredible thanks for the experience guys had a brilliant time

Absolutely amazing! Came here to finish up a hen weekend but ended up making it ! Brilliant atmosphere and fantastic,talented magician. Can't recommend enough. Thank you guys 🖤

Fantastic place. Had such an amazing night in this venue. You wont believe your eyes.

I just got into Liverpool and had a stranger recommend this place. Outside of the lovely cocktails, the staff and entertainers are next level. I don't want to spoil anything but just go. It's worth the 5 cover. Also the bartender who took the time to write me out an incredible list of places to visit next. Next level service. Cannot recommend enough, it will make for an unforgettable evening.

cocktails were fab! concept was amazing! & magician Benjamin was SO awesome, mind-blowing mind reading! definitely coming back!

I don't usually bother leaving reviews but this was fabulous. Incredible magic abd the vest cocktail I've had.
