About The Jacaranda

Opened in the late 50s as coffee bar by local businessman Allan Williams, the legendary Jacaranda club in Liverpool is deeply rooted in Beatles' history. This is also the place where Bill Harry, founder and editor of music newspaper Mersey Beat met his wife Virginia back in 1960. The Beatles often hung out at the Jacaranda during their student days, playing their instruments or rehearsing songs. Owner Allan Williams later became first manager of the group, as the Fab Four played around a dozen gigs here although they didn’t receive any payment for these shows.

This place is still a must-see when around in town. Check out the first floor especially, a relaxed and quiet café place with record players upon the tables. It's far more intimate than you may imagine and you can have a coffee or a drink until late while browsing the shelfs of the attached vinyl store.
