About this place The Cavern Club

The Cavern is an independent live-music venue in a basement on Queen Street in central Exeter. It's one of the city's longest-running small gig rooms, with touring and local bands plus late club nights. It isn't a gay bar. It's a mainstream, gay-friendly music venue that has hosted queer club nights. The crowd skews young and student-heavy, especially on weekends. Line-ups change from week to week, so check the listings on the venue's website for gigs and any LGBTQ+ nights before heading over. Exeter's dedicated gay bars are a short walk away in the centre.

It's a legendary venue for a reason. Been lucky enough to see so many amazing bands play this place over the years, including, Napalm Death, The Wildhearts, Orange Goblin, Airborne, Black Stone Cherry, Grand Magus, The Almighty, Towers of London etc etc, and the venue did them all justice.

Good venue. Proper club feel with close proximity to the band. Beer is reasonably priced as well which helps 👍👍

Great venue. Not an indie night at all. Few indie tracks, but more other stuff, disco/ 80s. Really disappointed. Website said 50 tickets left, but only around 50 people in there... If that! Big let down 😔
