The Casbah Coffee Club, Musical venue in West Derby, Liverpool, England
The Casbah Coffee Club is a basement music venue located at 8 Haymans Green in West Derby that retains original wall paintings and furnishings from the early 1960s. The space preserves hand-painted murals and decorative elements created during the emergence of Liverpool's music scene.
The club was founded in 1959 when Mona Best converted her house basement into a music venue. This location became an early performance space for local bands who would later gain worldwide recognition.
The basement became a gathering place for young musicians who shaped popular music history. The hand-painted walls and original decor reflect how this space fostered creativity and local artistic expression during that era.
Access is by pre-booked guided tour only, so plan ahead and contact the venue for available times. Bringing comfortable shoes is recommended since you will be standing in a compact basement space.
The basement walls feature artwork created by young musicians before they achieved international fame. These hand-painted decorations remain visible today and offer a glimpse into the creative energy of that early period.
