Undoubtedly, one of the most famous clubs in the world, this was the birthplace of a revolution that changed the music world forever. It was from this club the 'Fab Four' rose to heights. The original club closed down in 1973 to make way for an underground rail link, moving to its present site in 1976. The Cavern Club has been witness to almost three hundred performances by The Beatles, and it was here that Sir Paul McCartney played his last gig of the 20th Century. In addition to the main club, the venue features the Cavern Live Lounge, a space for private parties and one-off performances, as well as the Cavern Pub, a relaxed watering hole with regular local live music. In addition, to live gigs, the club also caters to a number of tastes including retro, dance and party.
Situated in a busy area of the city and surrounded by a plethora of clubs, pubs and restaurants, The Zanzibar Club has a great vibe and a music policy that appeals to many different tastes in music. The club advertises itself as Liverpool's only underground club and is host to a superb line-up of live acts ranging from upcoming local bands to nationally recognized acts. The club is divided into two main areas - a long narrow dance floor which is in front of the stage, and a raised seating area which runs parallel down one side, with the bar flanking the other side of the dance floor. Rock is the genre of choice here, though the club includes a diverse line-up wherever possible.
