Super sweet bar, always love the music. The bartender last night quite literally demanded that I tip him more than I was. You have a packed bar, I already tipped the bartender before you very handsomely, and your wallet is not my responsibility. Get a grip or become a bank robber if that’s how you wanna treat your customers

Authentic concert experience!! To get closer one would have to climb into an amp! Ear plugs are a good idea as the ceiling is low and the Cave is not a cavern. Music was great! Beer was tasty (local IPA)! Bought Manic Third Planet CD!! Enjoying it daily!! Excellent experience in every way!!

This rad little hidden gem presides in a basement off of Franklin Street, and is home to some of the best local music you'd get the pleasure to hear. The Monday jazz nights are so spectacular, the musicians are incredibly talented. The live shows here are so much fun and very diverse, and the bartenders are the cherry on top. A solid hidden dive where the locals love to go.

Cool atmosphere, the bar staff was incredibly rude in asking for more tips, multiple times, to myself and others in my party. Will not return for that reason.

Such a cool place! Had the opportunity for my band to perform there recently and we had a great time! Definitely make sure to catch a show there and come out when Alpha Strain comes back!

The coolest thing about this place is that it's an underground cave with absolutely no cell service, so no one is staring at their phone. It's like stepping back in time to the 90s.

Monday jazz nights are top tier live music, environment is up there with the Ritz, in a different, bougie type of
This is a fantastic place to spend an evening listening to live music. The Cavern Tavern has been around since 1968, and there's a reason for that. Treat yourself if you've never been!!

If anything describes this place, it’s a hole in the wall. Or rather a hole underground! Pretty friendly staff, good drinks, and fun live bands! There’s nothing fancy here and it’s pretty simple. Perfect for a quick drink out with a mate or to kill some time and have some fun.
