    So interesting and live music
    What a fab place to visit whether it be to just experience something iconic or listen to live music. Didn’t mind paying £5 to enter as it was well worth it. Full of atmosphere and all ages of people looking to enjoy what they’ve heard about over the years.

    Very memorable
    My Wife and I have just enjoyed The Magical Mystery Tour. ( Part of the Ultimate Beatles tour of Liverpool, ) Purchased through Virgin experience days, by my son as a 70th Birthday present. As part of the Magical Mystery Tour, entrance to the Cavern Club was included. We are now proud to say that, We have been in the amazing Cavern Club in Liverpool ! We found The Cavern Club to be an amazing and very interesting place to visit and I am sure I will be bringing in conversation many times in the future, about the day my wife and I went into The Cavern Club in Matthew street. The Artists playing when We were there, were also amazingly talented. We had a wonderful time on the day also enjoying a drink from the bar. Thank you very much for our wonderful experience.

    Best night ever!
    What an amazing night, only £5 to get in and well worth the money. A fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff and great music. It’s like a mini museum with lots of memorabilia and has a bar, lots of areas to sit in and air con! We went on a Sunday night and saw The Shakers, they are Sunday regulars and are amazing and I’d recommend going to see them if you’re lucky enough to be there on Sunday. After they finished there was another great group on and the music continued into the night.

    Lots of history here
    The entrance to the Cavern Club was free with the purchase of our tour. Very interesting place loaded with history. We enjoyed walking around and looking at all the memorabilia. There was someone performing when we were getting ready to leave and we watched for a short period of time. Since the place was very crowded, we decided not to purchase anything to eat or drink.

    A great atmosphere!
    Always a great time whether you go day or night. I come to Liverpool several times a year and always come to the cavern when Johnny Parry is playing as he is such a great performer. This weekend Johnny was playing the Friday afternoon and got the whole place packed and bouncing with a fabulous atmosphere. The bar is also not too expensive. If you love live music the cavern is a must! Some artists take requests, Johnny always does

    66 years young and still rocking!
    Another great visit to my home town and favourite club. There was a very good guitarist from Hong Kong playing Beatles classics and was well appreciated by many visitors. I met with a group from California who were really enjoying their visit, some were a little emotional as the singer started "In My Life." I was on a tight schedule but any visit to Liverpool has to include a visit to this Iconic Cultural Centre. Outside, and opposite the Club is the Cavern Wall - hundreds of "bricks" each carrying the name of individuals and groups that have played here over the 66 years. I found my 'brick.' I played here in 1959 in a group called Frank Knight & the Barons - 64 years ago! Absolutely made my visit home so much more emotional.

    Great atmosphere in a slice of cultural history
    The atmosphere was amazing. The artist (Craig LW) was entertaining, approachable and very talented. Gave us all a slice of the history of the Cavern Club by taking us back through all the songs performed. Could have done with some more seating inside but other than that I had an amazing time.

    A must
    I have to admit I was sceptical about heading here. With a fee on the door it screamed tourist trap to me. Yes it can't be denied it is a little but once inside it's brilliant. Live music, a crowd up for a laugh, a singalong and a boogie at all times of day. Reasonable prices too. If you're in Liverpool it's a must.

    The Cavern Club Beatles are a must see!
    Giving this a five star with some hesitation as this place will pack you in like sardines! But, I would highly recommend booking tickets to see the Caver Club Beatles on weekends! They were absolutely brilliant and well worth the crowds. Everyone was very friendly including the staff, and united by the great music. So much fun to sing and dance with everyone. A memorable experience! Just make sure if you want to see the show you book early as they sell out quickly!

    My new favourite
    Came here for the first time a couple of days ago and have to say it is my new favourite Liverpool bar. Wasn't the cheapest place for drinks but that's to be expected. Staff were lovely, the entertainment was amazing and we loved all of the memorabilia.

We came on Monday to take part in the backstage tour, this is a free event that is run by the Cavern club...it was Excellent , Dale was our guide and he was fab very enthusiastic funny and knowledgeable. The tour lasted approximately 45 minutes we got to see the dressing rooms and the original entrance used by the bands we finished in the caverns live lounge which I had no idea was even there...when we finished we left through a little curtain arriving back in the Cavern Club. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
We came back in the evening to enjoy the live music which was excellent, the drinks are a little pricey but I suppose the atmosphere makes up for it.

I would like to start of by saying I am not a huge fan of the Beatles but as I was in Liverpool over the weekend I thought we should go and have a look at the cavern club.
We checked the cavern clubs website and saw they did a free tour every Monday at 10-30. I will be honest I was a little unsure about the free tour as it seems now a days that nothing is free lol but we went along to see what it was like and I am so glad we did.
First of we where all taken on to Matthew street where dale the tour guide introduced himself. And asked where we where all from. Dale was FANTASTIC, you could tell he has a HUGE passion for the cavern club and was very proud of his city Liverpool. He was extremely friendly, funny and he has the ability to make you think he is talking directly to you all the time. He has great knowledge of the history of the cavern club and Liverpool, he also had everyone listening on his every word and was exceptionally good at telling us all about the story and history of the cavern club. As I said earlier I am not a Beatles fan but as I was hearing about the history of the cavern club and the Beatles it was giving me butterflies, goosebumps and proud to be English and thankful at having the chance to hear all about the history of the tavern club.
For me the tour was absolutely excellent and I would have quite happily paid for the tour.
After the tour we where left to our selves to do as we wished. We decided to look around a bit more, look at the memorabilia and history of the cavern club, and have a couple of drinks and listen to the live music. Personally I loved the inside of the cavern club, it was nothing like I expected it to be like in fact it was way better, the feeling of the building was great , and it felt like I was being taken back in time to the 60s and 70s. The live music was great and the whole place had a special feeling, but it seemed not just me that had that special feeling but everyone in there seemed to be feeling the same, happy, cheerful and smiley. All the staff there where friendly and the drinks where nice and a good price.
I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences I have had in my life and we certainly plan to return and spend not just a couple of hours ( like we did this time ) but a couple of nights there.
I would like to say a HUGE thank you to dale and everyone at the cavern club for a great few hours
Keep up the great work.

Visited on Saturday night with my husband .front door staff polite,bar staff polite. Two doorman by the live lounge smaller chap nice and polite. Other one very rude. My husband was getting served and I went to walk into the Lounge unaware that a ticket was required and was spoken to very rudely by this particular member of security staff. Was told ticket only and no other explanation of how to get a ticket or if there were still available or not. Felt very intimidated being spoken to so rudely and abruptly like this, with myself having been polite to him and apologetic we had came to the cavern after having been the theatre before, we thought it would be nice to see a particular member of your entertainment staff play. We stayed 10 more minutes and left. Quickest £25 we have ever spent including the £10 admission for 15 minutes tops in there. Will never visit this place again.

Situated on both sides of the street the Cavern pub with free entry sign outside the front door is the sister pub across from where the Beatles used to play in the Cavern. Its £4 admission to get into the venue where The Beatles and other big artists have gigged at. Well worth the price, live music seven nights a week. The Beatles tribute band were very good. Highly recommend this venue for a night out in Liverpool. Can get rather busy though so if your looking to sit down I'd recommend going early.

Never tire of coming here, being a massive Beatles fan. We recently visited in the day and just went down the stairs and had a look round at all the memorabilia on the walls and in the different rooms, which we hadn't had the chance to do properly before as it gets busy when groups are on and in the evening. It's free to just walk round if there are no events on and take in the atmosphere of an iconic place.

A must do when you're in Liverpool. We visited twice on Good Friday which happened to be my husband's birthday. First in the afternoon where we paid £5 for entry and then again in the evening where we had booked to watch the Cavern Club Beatles. The afternoon was was really good and the guitarist was playing covers which we really enjoyed and there was a great atmosphere. There's not much seating though which I understand but it was slightly annoying that I went to sit on a bar stool when they became free and a lady shouted at me that they were taken, even though no one was there and when I said, do you need all 6 seats she said I'm not sure yet. When her friends joined her from the bar there was only 4 of them but they took over 2 seats on a table and 4 bar stools which quite honestly was selfish. As we had already heard a lot of Beatles and done a few tours etc I wondered if the Cavern Club Beatles would be worth it but it was definitely the highlight of our trip. It honestly felt like being in the 60's and that we were watching John, Paul, Ringo and George. It really made my husband's birthday and I would definitely recommend going to anyone visiting Liverpool who loves the Beatles. We went on the Friday evening and there was quite a bit of seating if you got there early enough otherwise there was space to stand at the back.

Great to experience this very lively club. there were some fantastic performers playing live on the Saturday we visited and everyone was having a great time judging by the dancing and singing from all the patrons. Small downside would be the bar area was not very big which meant big queues and battling through the crowd and quite long waits to be served but overall well worth a visit.

My girlfriend and I visited Liverpool for my birthday earlier today and obviously you cant go to Liverpool without a visit to The Cavern Club. There was a large queue on the Saturday night so we visited early on Sunday instead.

There was live entertainment with a solo artist singing some of the hits performed by The Beatles and other acts who have visited The Cavern Club. There are photos throughout of all the big names who have performed at the club in years gone by. There's also plenty of memorabilia to be bought if you're a keen collector.

This is well worth when on a visit to Liverpool. Live music all day and drinks at reasonable prices for what type of place it is. You have to go for the free guided tour at 10.00 most days it last 45 minutes and the guide Dale was brilliant at what he does, so informative. It's free but well worth giving a decent tip.We went back in the evening and the two artists that were on were excellent. The history of the club is fascinating. Well worth a visit..

You mustn’t be in Liverpool and not visit such an iconic venue. A small entrance fee is a bargain given the great live music, friendly staff and massive amount of memorabilia, photos etc. Dale’s walking tour of The Cavern and Mathew Street is fabulous, entertaining, informative and free! Very highly recommended, would gladly have paid for this too.
