Cavo Night Club

I was skeptical on going due to the previous reviews. I’m in town for my birthday and decided to try it out for myself. I’m African American with Hispanic friends male/females. We went and had a great time. Had multiple drinks. One bouncer was polite as they scanned our ids to enter. The other bouncer (white male) was aggressive and rude towards my friend. That’s why I didn’t give it a 5 star rating. Seemed to hate his job. Inside our bartender was attentive to us. There was African American and white security guards. The crowd was full of all nationalities. Racism wasn’t noticed last night. None of our drinks were drugged. Try at your own risk!

Friends rented the space for cider - Penn Brewery release. Awesome space. Fast bartenders (kimmy?) and others. Polite security. Huge space broken up in three areas. Once music gets going two become great dance areas. Lots of girls. So many girls. Great vibe. Get here for a couple hours one weekend.

It's a little strange to write a review for a nightclub, because people rate it by their experiences with other individuals, which really isn't the fault of the club (mostly). I'll try to separate experience from the actual club service up front: Cavo itself: 4/5 My experience: 2/5 Arrived there around midnight on a Friday evening and waited about 25 minutes in a line of 40+ people to enter. There is a VIP line, not sure how that works. Bouncers will check your ID and bags, but there's surprisingly no cover. Entering Cavo, you're greeted by a massive crowd standing nearly shoulder to shoulder and Spanish music playing. You can push through the crowd to an intermediate coat check hallway (costs $2 to check a coat). Here I will give Cavo -1 because when we arrived, the coat check line was long and by the time we waited, it was full and we were told we couldn't check a coat, despite others waiting to get theirs out. The line to get a coat out of the coat check was 10+ minutes long when we arrived and on the way out near closing, was easily 15+ minutes long if not longer. Wouldn't recommend checking a coat for that wait alone. The second room past the coat check is a seating area and larger standing bar. A late night menu is available with food between $7-$10, but I didn't see anyone taking orders or getting orders. Cocktails are around $14 (?) and I didn't catch how much a beer was, but I'd guess $10ish. The last room is where most of the dancing happens with American dance remixes (think Blinding Lights, Katy Perry, etc.) and is by far the worst experience. There is a VIP area up front and two cages where dancers will occasionally go. Tons of lights and even confetti drops on big music drops. But there are too many people that shove through the crowd. Nothing Cavo could control unless they limit entry more, but it's a poor experience to try dancing in when you get stepped on or shoved every minute. Other clubs I've been to have done better at managing the crowd. +No cover +Decently fast bar service +Coat check $2 but -Coat check gets full and long wait on busy nights -Overcrowded (expected for a club with no cover) Can't comment on drink quality because I didn't order a cocktail.

It's a pretty typical nightclub. It gets super crowded on the main dancefloor from about 11 to 2. The music is 100% club remixes which imo gets boring pretty quickly but the energy of the crowd is usually pretty good.

Club is nice with 2 dance floors! There is no entry fee. Crowd is decent. Bartender service is not good. There should be more number of bartenders on weekend. It takes too long to get a drink.

It was an awful night. Waited in line for an hour and my friend was turned away by the bouncer who was clearly on a power trip. Uneven enforcement of dress code, WILL NOT RETURN AND DO NOT RECOMMEND!

This was my first time at Cavo and will have to be my last. I understand that bartending on weekends can be very stressful, but I absolutely cannot tolerate bartenders blatantly lying about a mistake because they thought someone was too drunk to notice. I was DD and watching over a friend who started a tab with the middle bar. I watched her hand the card to a male bartender who started the tab at the far left computer at the middle bar. A couple hours later she goes to close the tab and the same bartender says he doesn’t have a card with her name on it. The easy way to solve this issue would have been to simply say “okay, it’s not open with me so let me look it up and see who it was opened with, since you’ll need to close with them.” Instead, this turned into a 1+ hour debacle with the two male bartenders at the middle bar arguing with us and saying a different bartender at the same bar opened the tab and that my friend was “obviously” been mistaken. Except that I watched this happen, and the man who *swore* up and down he clearly remembered her wasn’t even at the bar when she was originally served. None of this had to happen. All they had to do was look it up in the computer, which was confirmed when the sweet female bartender did exactly this for us (thank you!) at the front after we had been ignored for 15-20 more minutes by the middle bar. Even if we were both completely mistaken, this was all they had to do. It took the bartender at the front less than 30 seconds to do. We weren’t demanding, we weren’t rude, we didn’t interrupt anyone. It was just complete disregard and lack of professionalism on their part. It’s ugly behavior and reflects poorly on the club as a whole, which was otherwise a great atmosphere. When bartenders are continuously ruining people’s experiences (as seen in many other reviews), it may be time to reevaluate the current staffing decisions.

My cousin and I have been go to cavo on every Saturday, but last time the bartender (blonde girl with shaved hair) treated us so awful. Her attitude was so rude and hostile. All we did was respectfully waiting for her to clean the around and asking for two drinks. After all that attitudes we decided to not tip this time (we always do normally). And after we signed the receipt she looked at it and forced us to leave a tip and said "never ask anything from me!" As loyal customers we love Cavo but we never deserved that.
