It first opened in 2017
Pizzeria and bar Crazy Pedro’s is set to close its Liverpool site after seven years. The Parr Street space quickly became an alternative outlet for late night entertainment when it first opened in 2017.
Crazy Pedro’s is run by hospitality operators Ross Mackenzie, Jobe Ferguson and Lyndon Higginson, who run bars and restaurants in Manchester including the Cane & Grain. Late in 2023, another of the group’s venues, a Tiki bar named The Liars Club, announced its closure.
A statement from Crazy Pedro’s cites the ongoing cost of living crisis, inflation, and the recent budget” as reasons for closing the Liverpool site. The team said they are making steps to ensure staff members have employment opportunities elsewhere in the company or via industry connections.

A statement read: “Crazy times are unfortunately calling time on Crazy Pedros Liverpool. After 7 years of Pedro’s love affair with Liverpool, the party is almost over but not quite yet…
“Rising costs, the ongoing cost of living crisis, inflation and the recent budget mean we can no longer ride it out into the New Year. We love you Liverpool – we are super grateful for all the support and friendships made but unfortunately it’s now beyond our means to carry on.
“We have taken the incredibly difficult and heartbreaking decision to close our doors as of Sunday 22nd December. Our legendary team have flown the flag and brought the party for seven big years and for that we are eternally grateful.”
The statement continued: “We are making every step to ensure the team have employment opportunities with us in either our other Pedro’s locations or industry friends across the city. All bookings will be contacted and any existing bookings will remain as planned (please do get in touch with any questions).“We’ll be going out with a bang with 2-4-1 drinks all day, every day until we close our doors. So join us for a tequila, slice and a cold one. Big love – Pedro x”
