Ye Cracke is a 19th-century public house in Liverpool, England. It stands on Rice Street, a narrow offshoot of Hope Street, and takes its name from a Liverpudlian word for an alleyway.[1] John Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe were regulars here when they studied at the nearby art college, and it was here that Lennon courted his first wife, Cynthia.[2]
