Back in the early days, before Beatle mania struck the world and The Beatles were playing in The Cavern Club, Mathew Street. The Beatles, John George Paul and Pete Best used to drink in The Grapes Pub in Mathew Street. That was until they were barred.

The reason they were barred was because one of John’s favourite practical jokes was to soak beer mats and stick them to the ceiling and wait for them to fall on the unsuspecting drinkers. However a bar maid caught John one day and the lads were thrown out for causing trouble. So they went around the corner to a pub called The White Star to drink there instead

During The Quarrymen days John and the gang used to go to the Woolton Cinema. John would infuriate other cinemagoers by laughing at the sad parts and making silly noises, which made the others laugh.
