About The Cave

The Cave is a unique and entertaining spot located in an underground setting with no cell service, offering a nostalgic experience reminiscent of the 90s. This dusty dive bar has been around since 1968 and is known for hosting live music events every night, including popular jazz nights that draw a packed crowd on Mondays. Visitors can enjoy a fun vibe with low, moody ceilings, activities like pool and pinball, and friendly staff who are sassy and fun. The drinks are decently priced, with beers in bottles around $4 to $5 and drafts at $7, alongside a selection of local IPA. While the venue has limited liquor and mixers, it remains a great place for beer, cider, or seltzer drinkers. The Cave truly embraces its atmosphere, making it a beloved local spot where everyone is welcome to spend an evening with friends. Parking is available in the back, making it easily accessible, although it can be a little hard to find if you don’t know it’s there.

Unique atmosphere and people!

They didn't even give us the options to just wear a mask. They said that everywhere requires them so we went to a different concert a block a way and then to a bar and had no problems. I geuss they would rather not work and have a private show. i feel bad for the band as the place was completely...read full review
