Reviews
"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."
"Popped in early yesterday while the place was still empty, so took a bunch of pictures to post while had the opportunity. Enjoy! Oldest bar in town, and it still retains so much from its 1968 founding. If you've been here before over the years, you'll notice a few changes, such as updated air venting and, of course, furniture, but in essence, little has changed. Biggest change? No thick clouds of cigarette smoke obscuring the view as it was in yesteryears; no smoking and better ventilation make for a very pleasant upgrade! Can still have a game of pool, pop out the back door, enjoy a good variety at the bar, and catch an ever changing eclectic mix of local talent and living legends live on a stage that really makes for an intimate experience. With so many restaurants and shops nearby, there's every reason to make an afternoon and evening of it! Oh, and as for those restrooms,... they are unusual, rustic, small... but not actually bad... they just aren't up to 'modern expectations' of slick uniform construction and display. With so many changes in the world today, it is great to know some places don't!"
"Great place to go. Music was great. Met the owner, she was very friendly. All patrons were friendly also. We are not locals from around here, but we were told this is usually where the locals hang out if you don't want to hang out with the college kids club. We will go back next time we come visit our daughter. Not your typical place, but that's what we love! Thanks, Autumn!"
"Cool place. I really dug it. Very small which in my opinion makes it feel more exclusive. 2 separate rooms. In the front a nice 12 foot? bar and a little hallway takes you back to a nice lounge and billiards room. Easy access to the back door for tobacco users (which I'm not anymore, but still find convenient). Very cool vibe for small intimate shows. Would be great for a little 3 piece band to play or solo acoustic act. I went to support my buddy doing a hip hop/rap act and it had a good time."
