Liberty's
has been a long established nightclub and restaurant on the Hagley Road
for a number of years. It was owned by TGI Fridays which is situated
right next door. Liberty's was always a little more sophisticated with its piano bar, lounge bar, and comfortable leather sofas. This
was a place to socialise as well as party. It was the place to be seen
and it was generally frequented by the older crowd. A strictly over 21s
policy was operated by the club. Once
the entertainment venue of the 'well to do', it is now destined to
become an Indian restaurant. Numbers had generally declined over the
last few years of its life and it closed in 2007 for the last time. In
2009 the leasehold interest was sold to Akbar's a company with several
Indian restaurants in the north. Liberty's is about to become their
ninth restaurant. Opening
in October 2009, Akbar's will be able to hold private functions for up
to 200 people and the restaurant is expected to have a capacity of
300 covers.
