    A must place if you are a Beatles fan. The entire area is awesome. This is my 3rd time coming. However, my first time was almost a spiritual experience lol. I love it!

    What more can you say about the birthplace and hometown of The Beatles. It's a surprising underground nightclub reminiscing of the 60's. Plenty of homemade brewski to choose.

    Update : We came, this is a few doors down from the original club. But restored exact as it was before right down to the graffiti, the stage , the bar and the bathroom. At a fiver each entrance , we even heard a good singer playing Beatles in the right , original, way. A pleasure to be with others singing along. As real as it gets!!

    I want to hold your hand How long has it been since I danced? I came to town only for the Beatle's experience and this place was a must! Cover charge was 5£. Place was packed!!! They had a great cover band and he played from requests. They had a lot of people from the actual Beatle's era as well as some younger generations whom only learned about the band after the fact. The band mentioned they did the live streaming during a lockdown and he was happy to see so many people are back. They now serve food. Not much of options but vegan burger I had was pretty good. I only intended to stay for one hour but ended up staying longer as this place was filled with so much positive energy. For the Beatle's fans, this place is a must visit!

    We're not Beatles fan, but they're world famous. Actually we went to the Club twice, 2 nights in a row. We even visited the 3-stories Beatles Museum. The cover charge was 5 pounds, but what the heck. Went down to the basement where everyone was posing for pictures. In the basement, it was small & crowded, but the crowd was well-behaved. Standing room only, not even elbow-room. The beer is cheap, actually too cheap by our American standards. My wife bought a bunch of souvenir nick-nacks for our friends back in America. But as I said, the music is good, the beer is cheap & the bartenders are efficient, no complaints; that's why we went back the 2nd night. I don't think they serve food, but beer is king. I see some gals go for cocktails. The dude that nite on stage sang Hello Goodbye, even I joined in the chorus. Bravo. We love England & Scotland.

    One on. It's the Cavern Club. Live music in the back, nice bar and tap. We didn't eat but we soaked it all in. Five pounds to get into and it is downstairs so keep that in mind. Seems a lot of top acts have played there, some group named the Beatles seems to have started there and made it big.

    A must do when in Liverpool. Not touristy. Good drinks, good people and a lot of fun. When in UK come checkout this original.

    Tourist trap got me! We were charged a cover fee for a 1 man act. Drinks were overpriced, & service was slowish on a slow night. Ambiance, merch & memorabilia were cool to browse. If your a Beatles fan, this is worth the visit.

    Scouse

    I had the scouse (a traditional beef stew), local to Liverpool. Was a bit scared to try it, but it's delicious!!! The service is fast and friendly. The restaurant is clean and cozy. :) I highly recommend this place even though it's in a very touristy area!

    The Beatles first played the Cavern Club in February of 1961 and were then seen for the first time by Brian Epstein in November of that same year here. To get to the Cavern Club, you go down some dark stairs...down, down, down...I could imagine this being a bit dangerous when slightly intoxicated. There is a cover entering..I'm having a hard time remember if it was 5 or 10 pounds but either way it was worth it for me. Apparently there is only a cover when a band is playing and a band was definitely playing the night I went. A Beatles cover band! It was fantastic to have the band playing Beatles songs, get some beer and hang out with people of all ages. Literally there were kids of just 18 all the way up to elderly little old ladies with backpacks. Cavern Club definitely draws the tourists but I wouldn't have missed it for the world. The Beatles played the Cavern Club 292 times, plus a ton of other fabulous artists have played here. Everyone here is in such a LOVE PEACE type of mood, you got to just overlook the overbearing, clueless tourists. Be a good, non-shoving tourist in the Cavern Club. I think this was my favorite spot in all of Liverpool because I could just feel something in the air - just feel something being in the space. Yea, yea I get it's a reincarnation of the original but the feeling I got was something I will never forget.

    BEATLEMANIA! ITS A SAUNA! Just Kidding! No its not a sauna...it just feels like one because its so freaking hot and humid inside! For a people whom normally live in chilly cool environment(you British folks), I'm surprised how tolerant everyone is...it was humid and probably 27-30C in there. My wife and I hung out by the entrance where nice cool breezes of oxygen would come in, thank goodness! Luckily pints ran about £3.50-4, which I consider cheap compared to America, and helped keep us cool. The Meyerside Beatles cover band played that night...really good and sounded 99% like the original Beatles! If it wasn't so darn hot and humid, we would've stayed longer and drank more pints. You'll have to get there really early to get a seat table, but then the band doesn't come until around 10:30pm. At least there's solo guitar act to keep you entertained. Free cover until 8pm, £4 afterwards, but we had free passes from the Magical Mystery Tour.

    Great venue with cover bands playing Beetles and 80s, and 90s bands like Oasis. My crew and I went there to see the birthplace of the Beetles. The Cavern Club had done an excellent job preserving the atmosphere of when the Beatles played here. It's a must see in Liverpool, but it gets jam-packed because of its history.

    landmark where the original site was

    The Cavern Club is on Mathew Street in the urban center of Liverpool. Feels kind of like New York City because of the old downtown feel. Of course the Beatles played at the Cavern Club before they became internationally famous. Actually, the current building is not the real site where they played. A very short walk away is a sign that says that this building was where the Cavern Club was. The new Cavern Club is a replica. It's still fun to visit because inside the new Cavern Club are memorabilia and exhibits. There was a singer/musician playing on the stage that day. If you love the Beatles, this is a must-see stop on your tour of Liverpool.

    No place I'd rather be! Though it's not the "real" Cavern, it brings the spirit of the Beatles to life. Great service, fun gift shop.

    Is Berry & Rye the coolest drinking establishment in Liverpool? Very possibly…read more With its complete lack of signage, its blacked out windows and front door and the fact that you have to knock on said door to be allowed entry (if the doorman likes the look of you) you already know you're dealing with somewhere fairly high on the 'hipometer'. When you get in (and you could be waiting outside for a while on a Friday or Saturday as it's only small and VERY popular) you are greeted by a decor which is at once understated and incredibly clearly themed. You just feel like you're in Prohibition era in the Deep South. The staff come over with cocktail menus and glasses of water (again, very cool - this is no place for binge drinking) and give you plenty of time to pick your drink which is just as well as there is a LOT to choose from. The cocktails are sorted into spirit based groups which makes things pretty easy if you're a gin person versus a whisky person. Myself, I was immediately drawn to a cocktail called the Corpse Reviver. Not that I particularly needed reviving - it just sounded fun. It was. This is a lovely place to start, end or spend your entire night if you enjoy a relaxed and cool atmosphere and being able to hear yourself and your companions speak. Very classy joint indeed.

    Jacaranda is a record store inside a bar, or upstairs from a bar, depending on how you look at it…read more Either way, I always think this is an interesting concept and a fun way to combine experiences. The record store is on the small side - don't expect to find any deep cuts. On the other hand, they had multiple genres represented and the size of the hip hop and indie sections were quite large for the space. I didn't have a need to interact with the staff but appreciated the hands off approach (I don't like to be pestered when I go in a record shop.) So pop in if you're in the area--maybe you'll luck out!

Full of memorabilia and nostalgia, this is a nice chilled pub both day and night. It consists of a basement, ground floor and upstairs, none of which are particularly spacious, but it's one of those places that no one minds rubbing shoulders with the next person. There's not a massive choice of drinks, but enough to cater for everyone. The music ranges from 60s onwards, and there is a jukebox that everyone seems to make use of, as well as some old fashioned sweet and nut machines - 20p for a handful of pistachios and then you can cause murder throwing the shells at people! Not somewhere for a lively night out, but at the same time, not always the best place for a quiet chat, especially as they tend to have the music quite loud. Still, if you want your Beatles fix and you're nowhere near Mathew Street or the docks, this is a good alternative.

    Good old Alma, been around for a while and still hasn't gotten any less pretentious. Don't get me…read morewrong, I love the actual place, its just the general clientele on Friday and Saturday nights that puts me off. For example, the last time I was there I was on a cocktail night with a group of girlfriends I hadn't seen for a while, and we were waiting patiently at a crowded bar at around midnight on a Friday. Next thing, this mid-to-late-30s guy cut between me and my friend as if trying to get through the crowd. The people around him attempted to give him some space, at which point he immediately elbowed his way to the front of the bar. He then leaned over the bar and thrust a wrinkled fiver in the hand of the nearest barman and said "I'm being served next". The barman attempted to explain that there were various other groups of people who had been waiting, and continued to serve the group he was with. And then he served this idiot. At this point, everyone around started tutting and I suggested in an undertone that we all tip our multi-coloured cocktails over his pristine white shirt. He is the reason I don't go to Alma on a weekend. Having said that, the decor is amazing, as it is an old church that has retained its altar and structure, but been glammed up with antler chandeliers and candles and dark and glamorous furniture. The cocktails are lovely if not a little pricey (mostly over £5 for the simplest) and the music is eclectic. There is also a restaurant upstairs which serves the standard small-servings-nicely-arranged-on-large-plates type food, and if you get there at the right time there is confetti thrown from the balconies and Cuban dancing girls entertaining everyone. On a weekday it is quieter and nicer and you don't feel so bad for not wearing the latest fashion trends. You can also see the bar from where you are sat. Overall, it's definitely somewhere I would recommend if you have never been, but only if you have the patience of a saint on a weekend!
