	The Grapes Pub Tip Rating:

Updated By sandysmith on November 23, 2003

The Grapes -local of the
Beatles

by sandysmith

The Grapes is the only traditional pub on Matthew Street - in fact the only pub here in the 1960's. Its sitauated opposite the Cavern Club so the Beatles would often pop in here for a drink before playing at the club. The pub still retains the seat and the wallpaper behind it where the Beatles once sat - so now everyone wants to come in here and have their photo taken in that same place.

	Beatles Everywhere Tip Rating:

John Lennon

by sandysmith

There's no escaping the Beatle connection in Liverpool. Right from the moment you arrive at Liverpool's new airport its in your face. The old airport is now just down the road and the modern new one has a new name - the John Lennon Airport. Plus a very fine sculpture of its legendary namesake can be seen here too - unveiled by Yoko Ono.

	TOWER WITHOUT A VIEW Tip Rating:

Royal Liver Building as (not)
seen from the tower

by sabsi

Watch out for hazy days when doing a tour of the Radio City Tower. When you are unlucky (like we were) you won't see much from up there!

Search for a Kylie CD, watch the presentation on the history of the tower, admire the furniture design and have a great time with friends :)

Düsseldorf's Rhine Tower is higher, more scary and the views are clearer normally. But it isn't in Liverpool ;)

So Sandy, Dave, Steve and Susan, next time it's my turn to organise a great view ;-)

	Yellow Submarine Tip Rating:

yellow submarine

by sandysmith

See there's no escaping the fact that the Beatles came from this part of the world! This yellow submarine was once in the Liverpool Garden festival site - now long since neglected and ripe again for redevelopment. TYhen it was virtually opposite the Albert Docks but today - due to ongoing road works in that area - it is sitting outside John Lennon airport, and will do so for the next 5 years apparently!

	Mathew St & Beatlemania Tip Rating:

Updated By orlikins on September 16, 2002

Liverpool Page by orlikins

Mathew St, Liverpool

by orlikins

Mathew St is being plugged as the Birthplace of the Beatles. Along this street are various Beatle-bars and shops, it's really nothing special. The Cavern pub itself where the Beatles were discovered is actually really really small. You have to down about 3 or 4 flights of stairs and it's very dark and incredibly small.

	The Beatles Story museum Tip Rating:

Updated By sandysmith on August 25, 2002

Liverpool Page by sandysmith

by sandysmith

The Beatles Story museum (situated in the Albert Dock complex) is a bit over-rated in my experience - but if you're a die-hard Beatles fan then by all means don't miss it. There are many posters, a lot of reading material on the walls, their costumes and musical instruments are displayed and of course their music is piped through as you walk around. There is a good shop (don't have to pay to go in this) where there is a plentiful supply of memorablia for purchase. A novelty factor is being able to get a penny pressed with the beatles imprinted on it.

	The Club Shop Tip Rating:

Don't Waste Your Money

by steventilly

Don't be sucked into Liverpool FC's club shop.

A better alternative would be to head up to the North East and visit one of the Sunderland AFC clubshops :-))

	'Ferry 'cross the Mersey'...... Tip Rating:

By StirCrazy on August 25, 2002

Liverpool Page by StirCrazy

'Ferry 'cross the Mersey'... don't waste your money. It's a boring old ferry, the Mersey is a big, grey, cold river and the circular river trip with piped Gerry & the Pacemakers Muzak is just too tacky for words.

Oh, and steer clear of all those hideous Beatles souvenirs while you're in the area too. Liverpool has SO MUCH more going for it than an bunch of old geezers who once played a bit of music!!
