Why?

Because The Cavern is in Mathew Street. Because it is almost with certainty the street with more direct references to The Beatles in the world. Pubs, shops.... it's a Beatles' world.

Where?

You can find Mathew Street in Liverpool, and believe me, this one won't be hard to find at all. Here's a map of the city centre to make things easier. But maybe you'd like a virtual trip around Mathew Street

What You Should Know

One of the most interesting things on Mathew Street is The Beatles Shop. Not that I have commercial interest, but you can find many interesting things If you're willing to pay for them. Certainly worth a visit. There are a couple of pubs in Mathew Street that will take you back to The Beatles time. I stared at some of the walls, plenty of Beatles memorabilia for almost an hour. There is a bronze statue of The Beatles inside "The Cavern Walks" which is worth a picture. The Beatles used to a pub called Grapes to have some pints because The Cavern wasn't licensed to serve them

Miscellanea

When visiting Mathew Street one has the impression of a contest by the locals to get the most appealing Beatles related name for their businesses. Like "The Cavern Walks" in which you can find a cafe called "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". There is an "Abbey Road Pub" and another called "John Lennon", and of course "The Beatles Shop".
