The Casbah Coffee Club, a cultural landmark for Beatles fans in Liverpool, England, has recently opened its doors to Airbnb guests. It’s here, in this basement of this home, where The Beatles played some of their earliest gigs.

We hope you love the Airbnb we recommend! Just so you know, Matador may collect a small commission from the links on this page if you decide to book a stay. Listed prices are accurate as of the time of publication.

The Airbnb is hosted by Pete Best, the band’s one-time drummer, and his brother Roag, who lived in the house as teenagers. The house was originally owned by the bother’s mother, Mona Best who transformed the property’s cellar into the music venue, Casbah Coffee Club in 1959. The club quickly became a go-to for local musicians, providing a platform for emerging talent. Its intimate atmosphere and unpretentious charm made it an ideal venue for bands to hone their craft and connect with a dedicated audience.

After providing a stage for the Beatles for over 40 performances, the band played their final gig here on the club’s closing night in 1962. The British government granted the historic venue protected heritage status in 2006 and reopened its doors to the public as a tourist attraction.

“I think it’s a good idea to let people know about the Casbah,” says Sir Paul McCartney on the club’s site. “The Casbah was the place where all that started. We helped paint it and stuff. We looked upon it as our personal club.”
