John Lennon

Did you know that there is a restaurant in the heart of Soho where the legendary Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr used to eat when they were in London?

This restaurant still exists, it’s called Beso, and it offers special The Beatles themed and inspired cocktail menu. Plus, a The Beatles themed private room is available for private events.

The Beatles

Back then in 1963, Beso was a Steak House and the legendary members of The Beatles often visited it for a nice dinner when they were around Covent Garden and Soho. At that time, they often used napkins to write songs and ideas on them.

Did you know that The British Library has an amazing collection of memorabilia, including birthday cards and lyrics quickly written on napkins?

This photo was taken in 1963 when the band was enjoying a dinner and you can find this picture on the wall, right next to the stairs leading down to The Beatles themed private room.

The Beatles Inspired Cocktail Menu

You could sit at the same spot where John Lennon, Ringo Starr or Paul McCartney once did, and sip a cocktail speciality designed around the band.

Which one would you try first? John Lemon, Paul Martini, George Fashion or Ringo Grinco?

I decided for John Lemon and I didn’t regret. It was a not too sweet not too sour cocktail. Perfect on a hot Summer day.

The Beatles Private Room

The Beatles private room offers a great spot to chill and relax and to feel the spirit of the music legends.

Here you can find all the books ever been published about the band and some other themed souvenirs.

Beso Restaurant Today

Today, Beso is operating as an Italian restaurant and voted as one the best dinner restaurants by Tripadvisor in 2019.

The food is inspired by the authentic Italian dishes shaken up with some exciting contemporary touches.
