About Mona Best

  • Alice Mona Best (née Shaw; 3 January 1924 – 9 October 1988) was a British music club proprietor, best known as the owner of The Casbah Coffee Club, a club in Liverpool which served as a venue for rock and roll music during the late 1950s and 1960s.
  • Among the bands to play at The Casbah was the Beatles, for whom her son Pete Best was a drummer at the time.
  • Mona also had two other sons, Rory (b.
