    Ye Cracke

    Discreet and dilapidated, this atmospheric boozer is a favourite with pensioners and bohemians from the nearby college of art; in the early '60s these included John and Cynthia Lennon.

    Curzon

    The Curzon is what one might euphemistically term a man's bar, with lots of hairy, tough-looking guys getting to know each other.

    Philharmonic

    This extraordin­ary bar, designed by the shipwrights who built the Lusitania, is one of the most beautiful bars in all of England. The interior is resplendent with etched and stained glass, wrought iron, mosaics and ceramic tiling – and if you think that's good, just wait until you see inside the marble men's toilets, the only heritage-listed lav in the country.

    Jacaranda

    The Beatles used to play in this cellar bar – the clue is in the murals on the walls (one is apparently the joint efforts of two art students called Stuart Sutcliffe and John Lennon) and the constant playing of their albums – but this is a great, no-nonsense boozer in its own right.
