Thanks to Pete Best, one of the early Beatles’ most frequent haunts is now available for rent on Airbnb. The Casbah Coffee Club, a Liverpool staple owned by Pete Best’s mother in the basement of their house, became a part of Fab Four history when the family purchased and refurbished the building in the 1950s, then bestowed a residency upon the Quarrymen, who became The Beatles. Today, on account of Best’s desire to preserve family and Beatles history, fans worldwide can imagine being spectators at any of the Beatles’ 40-odd shows at the club back in the day by staying at the Liverpool accommodation.

With guitars, photos, posters and memorabilia lining its walls, the 8 Haymans Green, West Derby, Liverpool establishment drips with references to the pioneering ensemble and its early history. Fans have the opportunity to stay in suites dedicated to John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Best himself, the original members of The Beatles. The exclusion of later drummer Ringo Starr is a mere fact of the band’s early history and legacy at the venue, Best explained, not a result of any kind of personal grudges. “Everything we do is about being authentic,” Best elaborated regarding the suite design and layout.

Though the original Casbah club closed in 1962, the Best family has continued to celebrate the legacy of the Beatles, even opening a Beatles museum. This sentiment extends to Pete’s brother Roag, who was even born in a previous iteration of the space. Of what his mother, Mona, might think of the updates to her club, Best told The Guardian, “I think she’d be delighted.” “I think if she’d still been here today,” Best continued, “she’d be very proud, of the legacy that’s been left, and the legacy that we’re building.”
