Overview
We visited the Cavern Club during our short stay in Liverpool. We went on a Thursday evening. The club is in the cellar and not wheelchair accessible at the main entrance door but the bouncer was more than happy to take us to the accessible back door entrance (used by VIPs like Paul McCartney 🎸). Once we entered the club via the back door (which had level access) we then went in a lift and down a steep ramp through venue 2 and into venue 1. There is a gift shop which leads to the main club . It was loud and pretty busy with people from all age groups. When we arrived there was a band playing covers and afterwards there was a Beatles tribute band.(watch short video). There were a few tables but unfortunately they were all taken. Most people were standing/dancing/singing .This meant that because I am in a wheelchair my view of the stage was blocked but there were screens on the walls that had live footage of the stage. There is also a bar (see photo). It was loud and the atmosphere was great. The staff were extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend a visit to the Cavern Club.
Transport & Parking
We drive to the venue in a wheelchair accessible car. The was no obvious place to park so we had to park on a street nearby and walk a relatively short distance . It was not easy to find a space to park even with a blue badge.

Anything else you wish to tell us?
Definitely recommend a visit. Loved using the same entrance that Paul Mcartney had three weeks before. Watch short you tube video

Wholeheartedly agree with this review. Accessibility by car can be a problem but the city centre is pedestrianised and venue was in easy walking distance from our hotel on Strand Street.
