The building in which the club is situated was the birthplace in 1805 of Dr William Henry Duncan and a plaque above the door commemorates this.

The Beatles' original manager Allan Williams was once the owner of the club and reputedly ejected Judy Garland after the local premiere of their first film, A Hard Day's Night, in 1964.

[6] In the 1980s, the Blue Angel briefly changed its name to the Razzamataz, giving rise to its current nickname, before reverting back to its original name due to a request from the Beatles City museum asking the club if they could change their name back to the Blue Angel to attract tourists.

One popular drink available at the club is a 'Fat Frog' made by mixing a Smirnoff Ice, a blue WKD and an orange Bacardi Breezer.

[7] A support network, set up mainly by students and boasting a website, was created in order to "Save the Raz" from closure.
