Hearing that John Lennon and his girlfriend at the time (Cynthia) used to drink here, you might be tempted to go and have a look. if you do you'll probably be disappointed for Ye Crack is nothing more than a back street local that, whilst it is perfectly acceptable for what it is, is not a major part of the Beatles legacy in Liverpool. The pub looks interesting from the outside and still retains some of the original features such as leaded glass from the mid-19th century when it was built. Sadly, bits have been added on and the place is now a hotch potch of styles. The best room is the "War Room" so-called because drinkers used to drop in for a pint and to discuss Britain's military overseas operations.

There are some quite interesting and atmospheric prints and photos of local scenes dating from mainly the 1960s but there is nothing else to speak of in the way of interesting decor. To be honest the pub is more than a bit shabby and grubby with old wooden benches to sit on and rickety formica topped tables. It's a real working man's pub not much changed from the way it would have looked when the art student, Lennon, used to drink here.

On a positive note drinks are cheap - there's nothing unusual or exciting in the way of beers but some might be interested in the "trebles for £1" offers! Lovely place, eh? Avoid the gloomy back room - I reckon that's for the serious drinkers- stick instead to the lively main room as you enter. I have to admit, I like it. But then, I like industrial cities in Slovakia so my tastes aren't conventional!
