Traveler reviews
Emma Riley
★★★★★3 weeks agoThe £6 entry fee is well worth it. There's two areas both with live singers on and the drinks aren't over priced either. We had 4 pints and it was £22! If you're in Liverpool you must go to The Cavern Club!
Tanya Hutchinson
★★★★★3 months agoIt didn't disappoint. Atmosphere was amazing, Beatles Complete who were playing were great. Great crowd of people, friendly staff. Highly recommend. Chance to see where it all started for the Beatles & others. Lots to see inside as well.
