Summary

Residents find noise from pub unbearable since new ownership.
Pub seeks to open its old cellar to customers.
Noise complaints include shouting and loud conversations.

Residents in Liverpool city centre have expressed that noise levels have become "unbearable" since Ye Cracke Incorporated Ltd took ownership of the historic pub last September. The establishment, a former haunt of John Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe in the late 1950s and early 1960s, is seeking a license to open its old cellar to customers.

Neighbors have lodged objections, stating the pub used to be a quiet local but now suffers from excessive noise. Concerns were raised that expanding into a former storage area would increase capacity and consequently noise. Complaints detail shouting, drunken behavior, and conversations so loud they can be overheard from bedrooms and gardens.

Residents report that staff have been unwilling or unable to manage the disruptive customer behavior. The local council is scheduled to consider the pub's licensing bid on Tuesday, amid fears that the situation could worsen if the cellar expansion is approved.
