Boujee closes 'most Instagrammable' Liverpool restaurant down

Boujee has reportedly closed its Liverpool restaurant down. Signs have been placed outside the city's 'most instagrammable' venue, saying it is 'closed for business'.

The restaurant - which like its Manchester counterpart, on Bridge Street in Spinningfields, is awash with pink - opened in December 2020. The Merseyside venue is set across two floors and covering around 9,600 sq ft, the restaurant features a giant candy area, themed ‘pool party’ and ‘Alice in Boujeeland’ areas.

The Boujee business counts Real Housewives of Cheshire star Lystra Adams as a director. Now, messages have now been placed in the restaurant's windows and on boards outside advising customers it has shut down, the Liverpool Echo reports.

"Boujee is closed for business,' one sign says. Another message adds that the closure is 'through no fault of Liverpool One.'

Previously, issues have been reported at Liverpool's Boujee, and in Manchester. Early in July, staff 'walked out' after not being paid their full wages as the business was struggling with cashflow problems. Some staff members said they had received just 40 percent of their pay on a recent pay date.

Others said they had not been paid their full service charges and some had walked out of shifts over the problems. At the time, a spokesperson for the company said it had experienced "unexpected costs" which created temporary cash flow constraints for the business.

Boujee said it was 'confident' that it could resume business, but the signs placed outside it now indicate the Liverpool site has closed. Boujee's Instagram page no longer lists Liverpool as one of its sites, with only Manchester
