David HeiserSeptember 8, 2015Love the back room. Super small venue, but doesn't get too packed. Good acts coming through regularly. Ticket prices are very reasonable, too.
- Amazing, national acts come through this intimate venue at unbelievable prices (at least to this displaced New Yorker). Cheap local beer, friendly staff. I'd see any show here. Any. Show.
Morgan TalbotJune 24, 2015INCREDIBLE live music venue. You see a lot of artists who are about one second away from making huge. Very intimate and electric crazy energy. Beer only in the back stage.- My favorite place for live music in the Triangle. If you end up having to go to a show on a night with a big game, they have a huge TV in the back near then bar
- A classic concert venue. They have done lots of upgrades recently to refresh it and it shows.
Visit North CarolinaJanuary 4, 2011Want to feel like the band is performing just for you? National acts & indie bands have been wowing audiences here for decades. The smaller space means better views & a more intimate live experience.
Great sound, nice staff, and if you stick around a little after a show you'll almost always get to chat with whoever played. Great vibes here.- Brad ZickafooseOctober 23, 2014Great concert venue for intimate performances and sweating during sold out shows.
Alia LinzAugust 28, 2014Not ALL the music! But come on, this place is iconic and I have learned about so many new and great bands here, randomly.
Bands always come out late but it helps to come early to get a good spot.
Rob SheppardJune 13, 2012Keep an eye for upcoming concerts, they have some pretty well know acts come through here.
John PfuntnerJanuary 20, 2012Good bookings but seating is usually extremely limited so be prepared to stand. The restrooms are pretty minimal, FWIW.
Brian WardJanuary 20, 2010Seeing a show at the Cradle is must for any music fan living in or visiting The Triangle.
make sure to grab some earplugs from the bar! save your eardrums!
