Korova is a bar, music venue and restaurant located on Hope Street, Liverpool, England. Before moving to its current premises, it was located on Fleet Street close to Concert Square. Its name references the Korova Milk Bar from A Clockwork Orange.
Korova was created through a joint venture between restaurateur Rob Gutmann, promoter Steve Miller and Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu of electronic band Ladytron in September 2005. The concept for the venue was based upon Ladytron's club night EVOL.
The original Korova, located on Fleet Street, appeared on the album cover for the Arctic Monkeys first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. The cover depicts Chris McClure - a friend of the band - in the basement of the venue posing for a photo to mark the band's good memories of Liverpool.
In 2009, Korova moved to new premises on Hope Street in Liverpool city centre.
