The Cave Closed on April 30. But Now, a Resurrection Is in the Works.

Posted May 18, 2018
There's an oft-mangled aphorism from Mark Twain that goes, "The report of my death was an exaggeration." As it turns out, that's true of The Cave, the venerated fifty-year-old bar and club that was set to close for good on Monday, April 30. But suddenly, it's in the process of being sold to a new set of owners who hope to reboot The Cave in the coming weeks. (Indy Week)
