  • Unique cavelike atmosphere

Is it serendipity or the miracles of Friendster that just as the hags of winter wheeze their frosty sorrows, several of my lifer-single friends have met a special someone? Let Cupid's annual visit mock us not, now that we have someone to help us warm the bed and brave the cold.La Caverna,the Lower East Side's romantic, fun, and funky cave bar. Like a portal into a Flintstones happy-hour hideaway, the humongous room is a man-made cave complete with stalactites and waterfalls. Wooful ambient lights warm and twinkle the many makeout nooks and crannies frame by wooden tables and large leather couches. The drinks are strong and well made by a friendly and accommodating staff. With regular Dj spinning and plenty of room for parties, the vibe shifts nightly. The overall effect is exoctic, slightly over-the-top on a Vegas kind of way, and un-like anything you've ever seen on the Lower East Side


Tips

Customer Reviews

Decent looking place if you're into Univeral Studios garbage

I enjoyed your clubs atmosphere, until I, and my party of over one dozen, were greeted with apathetic at BEST bartending and a sub par beer list. I then proceeded to get shoved rudely by someone, and in my attempts to merely stand up straight, was confronted aggressively by a greasy haired, portly troglodyte of a "bouncer." I, and my party, suddenly realized it was past our bedtime, and time to go to another bar that actually cares about its patrons. Good luck with your movie-set dramatics, they could have worked if it wasn't for your thoroughly inept "security." I hope you enjoy the fruits of your completely undeserved success.

Pros: atmosphere

Cons: everything else. May as well have had gum on the walls

loved it !!!

I went on Saturday night and it was great. My friends and I did hookah and had some drinks. The prices were good and the music was great.

Pros: music, drinks, crowd

Cons: over crowded & bathroom

Great time on weekend...

Everytime I've been here I had a blast. Despite the overcrowding and the mandatory coat check, its not a bad place to celebrate the night with good drinks, dance music, and no cover. No hassle at the door and nice bartenders. Drinks are cheap but they make them STRONG. I will definitely be stopping by again when I'm in the area.

Pros: no attitude, strong drinks

Cons: overcrowded, small bathroom

Ok Time

Cheesy place. Cheesy crowd. Crowded. Not good crowded. With all the good places around here, give this one a pass.
