Caves Lounge In Arl

Dive bar-Defined by Caves. Excellent in all aspects. As described everytime.

It is a dive bar, off division. It is truly one of the best places to come and chill out. For that reason, I prefer Monday cult movie nights and Wednesday emo nights. Tuesday has trivia, and Thursday has karaoke. Friday-sunday is super crowded and loud, good if you like that, but I prefer the depth that quieter days allow. The music is great. Every album on the jukebox has some personality and bite to it. The drinks are cheap, the regulars are kind and loved, and the gossip you can hear is delicious, so treat your bartender well and keep an open mind! There's a lot of sugar skulls and vintage Americana decor, and it reads as a little piece of Austin. Keep it weird, and they'll always have my business.

The guy checking IDs at the entrance can't do math. I'm 21 but he said I was too young to get in. Refused to take a second look at my ID, even though everyone around him, total strangers walking looked at it and said yeah the id says I'm 21,he refused to even glance at it a second time. Drove out an hour to see my friends band, to get turned away by someone who clearly failed math class, and couldn't even be bothered to take a second look to check himself. Aside from the terrible service, the place is ratty and falling apart, outside was disgusting. There was trash everywhere, and the handle on the door to get it was sticky. Would avoid this place at all cost, unless you are going to support a friend. Trash venue, even trashier employees.

This is an incredible gem hiding in plain sight. Excellent drinks for good prices and the music/vibe are incredible.

The bar tenders suck just cuz they heard from another person we were drinking. We were not even drunk. But I dnt have time for 20byears old. Lol don't wasts ur time. They will listen to false info. Bit yeah it's expected. Under 21 lol.
