A CONTEMPORARY BOUTIQUE HOTEL, BAR & KITCHEN, YARDS AWAY FROM LIVERPOOL ONE. Lock and Key is situated in a recently transformed Grade II listed property on Duke Street. The building had laid empty for 15 years and has been brought back to life. If you’re a fan of decadent settings, sweeping staircases, original décor with modern, quirky twists, plus sumptuous menus designed by local chefs, craft beers and themed cocktails, you’re going to love Lock & Key. The boutique hotel, bar and kitchen is a brand new independent venture from local Liverpool based owners Andrew Spencer, Tom Bower and Michael Connolly. Having stood empty or over a decade, the team have worked hard to convert the building while retaining lots of the original features, including the original, distinctive Georgian shop front windows.
