The Cave has undergone many transformations over the decades: from lounge, to cabaret-style theater, to game room and finally, a music venue.[2] The Cave stopped serving alcohol in 2013, although of-age students can bring their own alcohol.[3]

The Cave is open Tuesday-Saturday for Carleton students during the academic term. There are typically several shows each week, most often on Friday and Saturday nights. A Carleton College ID card is usually required for entry, but there are sometimes shows that are open to the public.[2]
