Liverpool’s celebrity haunt, the Newz Bar, will open its doors as a “high end steak and seafood’ restaurant on 12 December.

The team behind new diner Amanzi is recruiting for the jobs within the new venue on Water Street and says the new restaurant will feature a luxury take on steak and seafood. The restaurant says it will feature a menu of ‘Asian fusion’ dishes as well as champagne, wine and cocktails.

Amanzi replaces the Newz Bar, a popular celebrity night spot that opened its doors in 2000 as one of the first bars of its kind in Liverpool city centre. The bar closed its doors this year and while Flanaghans Group, the bar’s owner, has retained the building, the new restaurant is being run by new tenants at the site.

Meanwhile, the art work that adorned the walls of Newz Bar has been relocated to the Sir Thomas Hotel, another venue owned by Flanaghans Group.

The new Amanzi restaurant is taking bookings prior to its launch on 12 December.
