I kind of want to cry into a $2 Tecate thinking back at all the time I've spent here and the associated memories. Even if I didn't see this place through such nostalgic eyes, I'd still really like it...

Almost every concert I ever want to go see in the triangle ends up being at the Cat's Cradle. The Cradle is one of the best places around to see smaller bands, with a capacity of around 500 people I...

It's been about a year since I last saw a show at Cat's Cradle, due mostly to a lack of properly coordinated plans. It's a famously great live venue for a reason. Usually the way it works for me is...

They get great acts to play. No doubt. However, I've seen more than a few bands there and would prefer almost any venue to the Cradle. Bands are nearly always hours late starting, which wouldn't be so bad if...

Cat's Cradle caters to more of an Indie music crowd than a pop/punk crowd, so the type of music doesn't really cater to my tastes. The venue itself is pretty large, and doesn't get too crazy during...

First of all, the information in the "info" section is incorrect. Cat's Cradle is generally all-ages, but you'll be carded at the door if you want to drink (per usual). At certain shows, the Cradle will hire...
