The Cave

The Cave is Chapel Hills oldest tavern–were currently celebrating 44 years of beers! Enjoy the draughts of wry humor, throw back a few drinks, play some pool, or just visit with one of the several dogs who bring their well-behaved owners. Say hello to Mark Connor, the Caves owner! The Cave offers great local and national original live music acts almost every night. So why dont you wander through and check us out…yall come out and visit us soon! What are your hours? 5:00 PM to 2:30 AM Monday through Friday, and 2:30 PM to 2:30 AM Saturday and Sunday. We usually have pot-luck dinner parties for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the 4th of July. Ask a bartender just to be on the safe side. We gotta party, too, you know… Where is this fabulous place? 452 1/2 W. Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, NC. Look for Uniquities (a clothing store), and the West End Wine Bar (a wine bar–duh!) Between Uniquities and the West End, theres a little set of steps leading down from the sidewalk. It looks like it would lead to the basement of Uniquities. And guess what? It does! And thats where we are. The door is on the left at the bottom of the steps. If you are on West Rosemary Street, look for La Potosina and head into the parking lot next to that building. Parking in the back lot, however, is a no-no (if you get towed, dont blame us – we just work here!). Youll see our back door: The Ballroom Entrance. If this seems unclear, call if you are lost: 919-968-9308 Check out this here map. Why arent you in the phone book? Because we only have a pay phone–it minimizes our bills. So once you have the number, dont lose it – but if you do, its usually in the calendar listings in the Independent (local weekly newspaper listing events of interest), and its on the monthly calendar of music (available at the Cave), and its on the matchbooks–in case you have one with you. And if you still dont know, its 919-968-9308. You claim to be Chapel Hills oldest tavern. How long ya been there?
