St Peters Church

The church was opened on the 7th of September in 1788. It served as a Catholic building for 188 years until 1976, after which it served the local Polish community for a short time. For this reason it is still today affectionately referred to as ‘the Polish Church’.

Until its closure in 1978, St. Peter’s was the oldest surviving Catholic Church in Liverpool. After a period of disuse, the building was taken over by Urban Splash and is now the internationally acclaimed ultra stylish restaurant and bar, Alma de Cuba.

MSR worked on the conversion of the church into the award winning bar & restaurant  Alma De Cuba and worked on the installation of the internal steel framework to carry the new flooring, new columns and mezzanine level as well working on the the new 2 storey extension to the rear of the building including all the glazing frames throughout and new external railings.
