Isn't that the Cavern ?

Is it true that the original place has been closed down and that this Cavern is the one next door?

Must be very cool to perform there though. you must have enjoyed yourself !

I played the Cavern recently - that stage is still in the same venue, but bands are usually put on in a bigger side room now.

I guess they must still use that one occasionally too - it looks cooler, I must say! When I was there, that area was full of Japanese tourists very drunkenly singing Beatles songs acapella all night!

According to Wikipedia.org it's not the same place, but they had it rebuilt:

World fame

The venue has been made world famous by The Beatles, and it was on Tuesday February 21, 1961, that the band made their first lunchtime appearance at the club. The band had returned to Liverpool from Hamburg, Germany, where they had been playing at the Indra and the Kaiserkeller for up to eight hours a night. Their stage show had been through a lot of changes and some in the audience thought they were watching a German band. From 1961 to 1963 The Beatles made 292 appearances at the club. During 1963, The Hollies took The Beatles' slot at the Cavern Club. The Beatles had graduated from the club and had been signed to EMI's Parlophone label by producer George Martin. The amount of musical activity in Liverpool and Manchester caused record producers who had previously never ventured very far from London to start looking to the north.
In the decade that followed, a wide variety of popular acts appeared at the club including The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, The Kinks, Elton John, The Who and John Lee Hooker. Future star Cilla Black worked as the hat-check girl at The Cavern in her pre-fame days.
A recording studio, "Cavern Sound" opened in the basement of an adjoining building, run by Nigel Greenberg and Peter Hepworth.
The club closed in March 1973, and was filled in during construction work on the Merseyrail underground rail loop.
[edit]The Cavern Club today

In April 1984 the club was taken over by Liverpool F.C. player Tommy Smith in association with Royal Life. It was re-built with many of the same bricks that had been used in the original club. The new club occupies 75% of the original site. The new design was to resemble the original as closely as possible. This was a difficult period of massive economical and political change in and around Liverpool and the club only survived until 1989, when it came under financial pressures and closed for 18 months. In 1991, two friends - school teacher Bill Heckle and Liverpool cabbie Dave Jones - reopened the club. They still run the club today and despite being a world famous tourist spot, the club continues to function primarily as a live music venue.
On December 14, 1999, former Beatle Paul McCartney returned to the New Cavern Club stage to play a set publicising his new album Run Devil Run.
The Cavern Club is still open as one of the UK's most famous venues. It has around 40 live bands performing every week; both tribute and original bands, although the majority perform their own material.
The venue now operates a pay to play policy where bands lose a prepaid deposit if they do not gather a fixed number of audience members there to see them.
The Cavern is also used as a tour warm-up venue with semi-secret gigs announced at the last moment. The Arctic Monkeys did this is on October 2005, as well as many others before them.

Here's one from a recent show, we'll be playing a HUGE (for us at least) show this thursday. A local venue, Starry Night, is closing its doors, and we got invited back to play night 1 of their 2 night farewell bash. We're excited. Anyhow, here's something from last saturday to tide you over:
