The Cavern Club

You know the story, but standing in these legendary brick vaults still gives you goosebumps. The same arched cellars where The Beatles cut their teeth now pulse with tribute acts most nights, the walls thick with 60s memorabilia and decades of musical history. Sure, it's touristy, but locals still pop in for a pint surrounded by all that rock and roll heritage. The acoustics in these intimate underground rooms are genuinely brilliant, and when a decent Beatles tribute takes the stage, you'll forget you're not watching the real thing. Open from 11am daily, it's surprisingly decent for an afternoon drink before the evening crowds descend.
