About this space

The Rum & Rumour downstairs room at Ma Boyle's is a vibrant party venue for hire in Liverpool.

Ma Boyle’s is a fantastic space to host your event, whether it be an office party, birthday, wedding, christening or funeral.

We are situated in the heart of the city centre with excellent transport links and very close to local amenities and tourist attractions such as the Albert Dock and Liverpool’s Pier Head.

Hiring out our downstairs basement bar at Ma Boyle’s is great because it is such a versatile space. We have a projector included in the hire meaning you can have screenings and training sessions here, but also can use it for private parties and private dining too.

If you would like to use the space for private parties or private dining then the room hire is £75 on Fridays and Saturdays with no minimum spend.

Delicious food and drink packages are available for whatever your party size. Please enquire with what you would like and Ma Boyle's can help make your party a night to remember.

I cannot recommend enough. The venue was lovely, the private room downstairs was perfect for our needs, the food and drink was great but more than anything else, the service was exquisite. A huge thank you to our service staff who went above and beyond to make sure we had a good night.
