Liverpool. Opened in 1958 by Allan Williams, the Beatles' first manager. He also managed Gerry and the Pacemakers and Rory Storm and the Hurricanes (Ringo Starr was their drummer). The club's basement was where the Beatles auditioned drummer Pete Best, rehearsed (in exchange for painting murals on the walls), and performed their first gigs under the name the Silver Beetles (being paid with beans on toast and Coca Cola). I enjoyed a Liquid Vinyl Ale brewed by Jacaranda Brewing, a Nano Brewery in Southwell, Nottinghamshire.
