Loco Club, the sister venue INK's own page pointed to

The archived VIP RnB, House and Hip Hop Classics page, already covered in this wave's note on its 85 per cent line and its named DJ schedule, also names a second venue entirely: And for those true party animals...we have an official afterparty at Loco Club around the corner in our sister club, with some of the North West's finest RnB, Hip Hop and Bashment DJ's playing from 11pm – 6am.

No other page in this wave's reading, or in wave one's ten notes, mentions Loco Club. This note covers it on its own terms, as the one archived source naming it.

What the page calls Loco Club

The page's own description: a truly stunning, Amsterdam inspired basement that gets very busy, with priority bands given to our VIP table or private booth bookers. Sister club is the specific relationship the page states, not a separate, unrelated business simply located nearby, and around the corner is the only location detail given, with no street address.

A separate line names an external domain for Loco Club, http://www.wearelococlub.co.uk, printed on the same page as For our official afterparty check out Loco – RnB, Bashment & Urban Music Anthems til 6am. That is the fullest single mention of the venue's genre identity on this page: RnB, Bashment and Urban Music, a slightly different mix from INK's own house, RnB and hip hop description.

Amsterdam inspired basement is the only physical description the page gives for Loco Club's own interior, offered without further elaboration on size, capacity or décor beyond that single comparison. Gets very busy is the one crowd-level detail the page adds, pitched as a selling point rather than a caution about the venue being crowded.

Hours that extend past INK's own night

11pm to 6am is the printed run for Loco Club's afterparty, extending roughly two hours past the 4am finish a companion note in this wave records for INK's own Sunday Sessions. Whether that two-hour extension applies on every night of the week, or specifically to the Sunday pairing this page's DJ list describes, is not stated separately for Loco Club's own schedule.

The page frames Loco Club as a continuation of the same night rather than a separate outing: priority bands given to our VIP table or private booth bookers describes a direct handoff from one venue's booking status to the other's door policy, not two unconnected venues a visitor would need to book separately.

A priority band, in this context, reads as a wristband or similar marker issued at INK that is then honoured at Loco Club's own door, though the page does not spell out the mechanics of how that handoff worked in practice. Standard entry at INK, without a table or booth booking, is not mentioned as carrying the same priority at Loco Club's own door, leaving that detail to a visitor's own guess.

A second external reference on the same page

The same paragraph also names a second outside link, http://www.anightinliverpool.com, introduced as For reviews and other similar venues check out. That link functions differently from the Loco Club one: it points to a general review resource rather than to a specific sister venue, and the page gives it no further description beyond the one sentence.

Both external links sit in the same short block of text, immediately after the venue's own named weekly DJ schedule, as the page's closing section before its repeated dress-code and privacy-policy lines. A reader working through the page top to bottom meets the occupancy figure, the DJ schedule and then these two outside links in that order, as a single closing stretch of copy rather than separated sections. Neither outside link is styled any differently from the page's own internal text, so a reader skimming quickly could easily miss that either points away from inkbarliverpool.co.uk at all. Printed as plain web addresses rather than styled buttons, both links read more like a footnote than a call to action.

What "sister club" does and does not establish

Sister club, as the page's own term, suggests shared ownership or a close operating relationship between INK and Loco Club, but the archived page gives no further detail on what that relationship actually involved: shared management, a joint booking system, or simply a standing afterparty arrangement between two separately run venues that chose to describe themselves that way.

This note does not resolve that ambiguity. What is checkable from the page alone is narrower: INK's own 2018 copy names Loco Club as its sister venue and its official afterparty, with a specific domain and a specific closing time. Anything beyond that, about ownership or management, would be this note's own guess rather than something the page itself states. The word choice itself, sister rather than partner or neighbouring, is the strongest hint the page gives toward a shared ownership reading, without settling the question outright, and this note stops exactly where the page's own wording stops, leaving the rest as an open question rather than a filled-in guess about who actually ran either room.

Why this belongs in a wave about leaving a Lancashire hotel for the night

A group staying in Lancashire and travelling in for one night at INK, the scenario wave one's own notes are built around, would plausibly care whether the night has a natural extension past INK's own closing time. Loco Club, as the archived page describes it, is exactly that: a named, nearby continuation with its own hours and its own door-priority arrangement for INK's own VIP bookers.

This note makes no claim about whether Loco Club, under this name or this relationship, still operates today; the page it is drawn from is archived material, like every other source in this wave, including the touring party brand covered in a separate note that also played a stop at INK itself. Together, the two notes show that a single Lancashire-bound night out, read through INK's own archive, could once have extended well past one venue and well past 4am. Whether any of that extension is still possible tonight is a question for the venues themselves, not for an archived page from 2018.
