on Citysearch Dec 07, 2008Such a fun place to be! The reviewer below me is an idiot. This is an awesome place to see your favorite bands if you are ready to let loose and have a good time. The crowd will definitely get a little wild at sometimes if its... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 28, 2008They 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 the venue... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 11, 2008First 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 some... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 25, 2007Staff at CC is appallingly puritanical, especially for such a low class venue. Bow to the almighty "vip" list to get into their D-list shows. Trashy venue not worth the time, money, or the hype. Can I select "zero"... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 01, 2006<b>In Short<br></b>It's not uncommon for hugely popular acts that usually play in area-sized venues to sneak in under assumed names to play for a smaller, hipper crowd. Bands from across the country don't have to be... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 16, 2006Cat's Cradle is a great venue if you're into non-mainstream music. Concert tickets are never over $20, usually $10-12, so it's really worth it seeing bands like Metric, Pinback, New Pornographers, as well as great... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 15, 2006I really like going to concerts at Cat's cradle. It can be a bit crowded at times when there's an especially big name playing, but most of the time, it's pretty nice. The bands that play there follow the spectrum of music... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 25, 2005Located just minutes from the UNC campus, Cats Cradle is a great place to listen to live music from a wide array of bands. Cats cradle has concerts every week for a pretty low price. The only thing I would change about the... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 07, 2005Cats Cradle is one of the liveliest places in Carrboro. Its straight down the street from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and runs concerts daily by both non-famous and famous bands. Tickets are usually... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 13, 2005have seen everyone from a Ska band to Edwin McCain play at the Cat's Cradle. You may even see some local talent. The crowd is generally laid back and music savvy. Get there early because parking is scarce.... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 06, 2005CatÂ’s Cradle is a great venue to catch a show at. Typically the marquee will list smaller indy bands, but there have been a few better-known musicians I have seen here as well. The actual establishment is rather small... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 05, 2005Cat's Cradle plays host to a wide variety of musical acts all throughout the year. I have seen everyone from Edwin McCain to a completely obscure Indy Jazz fusion group there. The venue is large enough to hold a decent... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 26, 2005I LOVE the Cat's Cradle! They've got a great variety of acts, from the super-indie, unknown, waiting-to-be-discovered groups, to the more mainstream. It's a small venue, so you always feel like you're right there... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 18, 2005Cat's Cradle sees all kinds of indie type bands. Sometimes they get larger acts too. It's a great venue that recently went non-smoking; that makes it even better. It isn't too big, so you can get close to the bands - see... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 16, 2005A very popular (smaller) venue for bands to swing by. They have a pretty good mix of tiny unknown indie bands as well as bigger more mainstream bands. The inside of the cradle is not huge, and depending on the crowd it can... (more)
