B R Cavern - East Alton

Bnr stands for bums and rejects only go there if you fit that description

Most caring group of people I've met in awhile. The only bar I enjoy being at, and I know they all have my back if I ever need it.

This place is not ideal for a comfortable night out. The bartenders tend to favor the regulars, and the crowd can be quite rough. There’s an odd atmosphere behind the bar, almost as if someone is looking out for the female bartender. I've visited here about five or six times over the past four years, and each time has felt uncomfortable. As soon as you enter, whether alone or with friends, you can feel the stares from people in leather jackets and vests, which can be quite intimidating. It reminds me of that bar in Pee Wee's Big Adventure, but without the charm of making new friends when you leave. I’ve never experienced any major issues, but I won't be returning. It’s wise to avoid this place—consider it as something to skip, like Covid. I’ve also noticed some questionable activities happening out back. Be cautious; after dark, this spot makes Woodstock in Alton look like a theme park.
