B R Cavern - East Alton

Clean. Friendly.inviting environment. Bartenders always great you upon entering, very accomadating. They interact with their customers. Positive,high frequency inviroment. I mainly go to play the slot machines. Never had any drama or problems. Just a all around good time!!!

Great place to get stabbed. Bartenders always cater to the regulars and seem to always have rougher clientele. Weird dynamic behind the bar as there has always been a dude kind of guarding the female bartender. Red flag? Yeah, the five or six times I've been here in the last 4 years has NOT been a comfortable experience. You walk through the door alone or with friends and leather jackets and vests turn to stare and intimidate. To top it off, the whole place is like that bar in Pee Wee's Big Adventure except when you leave, you don't have new biker friends. Never had an issue or anything the few times I've went and will never spend money here again. Seriously, avoiding this place like it's Covid is a good suggestion. Seen some shady dealings out back a few times too. Tread lightly- after dark the place makes Woodstock (in Alton) look like Disney.

My go to place,close to home. Friendly ,reasonable prices, daytime and evening busy, late night quiet.

My go to bar. It's the only bar I feel comfortable at. They treat me great and I know I'm safe there unlike most bars.

I'm going home. Friendly, reasonable prices, day and night busy, late night quiet.
