Three young entrepreneurs from Liverpool have reopened Clockworks bar in Wolstenholme Square with plans to transform it into one of the city’s top venues. Rhys Keeley, Jack Ruttledge, and Ethan Cowling, all 21, have refurbished the historic building and aim to create a stylish space for dining, drinks, and live music.
Rhys and Jack run LVP Luxury Apartments, a successful apart-hotel business, as well as Parydise Properties, a nationwide property management company, with Ethan owning construction and social media businesses.
By combining their skills, Rhys Keeley said: “We want to revitalise a lost gem and create a classy venue offering great experiences for dining, drinks, music, and good times.”
He added: “This is about more than business—it’s about restoring a historic part of Liverpool and giving the community something to be proud of.”
The bar, which reopened in December, offers quality wines, signature cocktails, and specialty coffee. The menu, set to launch soon, will feature a focus on premium steak cuts, including both wagyu and Black Angus, sourced from trusted local suppliers.
The interior of Clockworks celebrates its industrial heritage with original features like exposed iron pipes and brickwork, while modern updates, such as sleek new flooring, warm lighting installations and luxurious marble bathrooms elevate the space.
Ethan Cowling said: “We’ve heard so many stories about Wolstenholme Square being a central part of Liverpool’s history. We want Clockworks to be a place where new memories are made—a venue that combines the best of the past with a modern, refined touch.”
Clockworks is now open from 12 PM to 12 AM Monday to Friday, and 12 PM to 1 AM on weekends.
