I'm now looking down Mathew St..74 viewsThe Grapes on the left..this is where the Beatles would drink in the Mathew St area along with the White Star as no Alcohol was served in the Cavern..they had a few pubs around this area they would drink in..I'll get to the one where they would knock on the window and be let in to their private little room upstairs later..anybody know which pub I'm on about ?
The Beatles shop is the white shop on the left in the distance..the White Star is just opposite out of view...Further on 1 minute away is Whitechapel with Brian Epsteins NEMS..(North End Music Stores)..1 minute from the Grapes..Frank Hessy's and Rushworths music stores where the Beatles bought their gear 1 minute away to the left past the Beatles shop
