Wellington Rooms, Liverpool
In Great Britain and Ireland, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries, assembly rooms were gathering places for members of the higher social classes open to members of both sexes. At that time most entertaining was done at home and there were few public places of entertainment open to both sexes besides theatres. Upper class men had more options, including coffee houses and later gentlemen's clubs.
