The bar and lounge provides a VIP add-on for gigs and events

Sodexo Live! officially launched its new VIP bar and lounge at the M&S Bank Arena Liverpool last week, offering a polished hospitality offering throughout the evening’s show from The Kaiser Chiefs.

"Our mission is to use the lounge to make the incredible events at the arena even more special for our guests.

Sodexo has worked with the ACC Liverpool team since 2008 and the partnership aims to make use of a combined expertise as the region’s leading arena and Sodexo Live's hospitality offer.

Lounge. We are looking forward to the future with fantastic times ahead with the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023 and a host of exciting artists coming to the venue.

"Our mission is to use the lounge to make the incredible events at the arena even more special for our guests, giving them an experience that they will remember for the rest of their lives.
