Football concept Crossbar heads to Liverpool ONE

Another competitive socialising concept will open in Liverpool soon, as new football-led brand Crossbar announces its debut.

Spanning 25,000 sq ft over two floors, Crossbar will open its first location at Liverpool ONE. 

Situated on Manesty’s Lane, Crossbar will feature tech-enabled football boxes with reactive projection, motion tracking and surround sound. The concept's website says it is "the only truly immersive football experience that lets you be the player on the pitch and the VIP in the box".

The football focused approach joins TOCA Social in the on-trade, which currently has three venues around the UK.

Alongside the Crossbar gaming floor will be a bar and casual dining area, while upstairs a space called Club 11 will provide a full restaurant offer.

"We have a lifelong passion for football so bringing our new kind of football experience to life is a momentous landmark for the Crossbar brand," says Brett Duarte, founder of Crossbar. "We have been searching for the perfect location to launch for some time, and Liverpool ONE’s second-to-none reputation and quality line-up of leisure and retail brands made it the obvious choice.”

Landsec announced the signing of Crossbar alongside sports retailer Pro:Direct Soccer.
