Club Cavo Smallman St.pgh

Friends rented the space for cider - Penn Brewery release. Awesome space. Fast bartenders kimmy? and others. Polite security. Huge space broken up in three areas. Once music gets going two become great dance areas. Lots of girls. So many girls. Great vibe. Get here for a couple hours one weekend.Service: 5/5

It's a little strange to write a review for a nightclub, because people rate it by their experiences with other individuals, which really isn't the fault of the club mostly. I'll try to separate experience from the actual club service up front: Cavo itself: 4/5 My experience: 2/5 Arrived there around midnight on a Friday evening and waited about 25 minutes in a line of 40+ people to enter. There is a VIP line, not sure how that works. Bouncers will check your ID and bags, but there's surprisingly no cover. Entering Cavo, you're greeted by a massive crowd standing nearly shoulder to shoulder and Spanish music playing. You can push through the crowd to an intermediate coat check hallway costs $2 to check a coat. Here I will give Cavo -1 because when we arrived, the coat check line was long and by the time we waited, it was full and we were told we couldn't check a coat, despite others waiting to get theirs out. The line to get a coat out of the coat check was 10+ minutes long when we arrived and on the way out near closing, was easily 15+ minutes long if not longer. Wouldn't recommend checking a coat for that wait alone. The second room past the coat check is a seating area and larger standing bar. A late night menu is available with food between $7-$10, but I didn't see anyone taking orders or getting orders. Cocktails are around $14 ? and I didn't catch how much a beer was, but I'd guess $10ish. The last room is where most of the dancing happens with American dance remixes think Blinding Lights, Katy Perry, etc. and is by far the worst experience. There is a VIP area up front and two cages where dancers will occasionally go. Tons of lights and even confetti drops on big music drops. But there are too many people that shove through the crowd. Nothing Cavo could control unless they limit entry more, but it's a poor experience to try dancing in when you get stepped on or shoved every minute. Other clubs I've been to have done better at managing the crowd. +No cover +Decently fast bar service +Coat check $2 but -Coat check gets full and long wait on busy nights -Overcrowded expected for a club with no cover Can't comment on drink quality because I didn't order a cocktail.

Several women’s phones were stolen on the dance floor this past Friday. Be very careful where you put your phones. Staff went above and beyond helping us out immediately when the cops said they’d address the issue in a “week or two.” Very fun scene and great music- just be aware!!Service: 5/5

As soon as you walk in the floor is really sticky. The played a lot of music that you couldn't understand what there talking about, there was probably like 2 bar tenders that acted like they wanted to be there. They don't follow there dress code, it said no head wear, and no long sleeve clothing, people still walked in with head wear and long sleeve clothing. The only thing that I thought was worth coming was not getting charged on a Saturday, and the girls, when if they were dancers or girls just coming to have some fun, they definitely had some good looking girls. But all in all they won't see me again.

My friends and I wanted a night to enjoy ourselves but as soon as we entered we were uncomfortable due to the fact that my guy friend was berated about wearing sunglasses and not having his button down completely buttoned, it was ridiculous with the amount of homophobia at this establishment and this review is a warning for anyone that presents not their gender. all female presenting had sunglasses to add, the only one who was commented on was the male presenting

Cavo is my favorite club! It is so much fun every time I go! The ambiance is superb! There are three large rooms, and each has its own separate bar! The music is awesome and upbeat, and the drinks are delicious! The owner and manager are such great people! They are always welcoming, fun, and super respectful! They really know how to run the club! My bartender makes the best drinks and can handle a lot at once! He is awesome and can make drinks very fast and gives great recommendations! The security detail team is by far the best yet! They always ensure we are safe, and I greatly appreciate it! Favorite club and I recommend that everyone goes and checks it out!

This is a great nite club! Multiple genres of music to dance along! Fun & fabulous & friendly people. Would recommend to all give it a chance. Drinks were on point Food: 4/5

Completely unprofessional conduct. Despite my driver's license being a legitimate REAL ID meaning I had to physically visit the DMV and submit my passport as verification, the bouncer thought it was a fake and bent it like crazy. Despite warning him not to damage my ID, he ignored me, bent the corner of my license with force, and peeled off the laminate. He then confiscated my ID. I threatened to call the police, and he became extremely hostile. Another bouncer forced me to prove my age via a scanned passport copy. The bouncer then passed my ID through the scanner, and it RETURNED AS LEGIT. I was furious and called for the manager at the end of the night. She was extremely rude and did not apologize for the bouncer's egregious error. She said she could do nothing and essentially just told me to get out. Never coming back here, and none of you should either.

Tried to go here for my 22nd birthday and it was a huge mistake. The bouncers were incredibly rude to me and my friends and confiscated 3 of our IDs claiming them to be fake despite the fact that they were real. We waited 30 minutes for the cops to arrive all the while the mangers were taunting us and telling us we were going to get citations. My one friend started crying and begging for her legal ID back and the manager with fake lips and hair extensions continued to antagonize her as if the whole ordeal were funny to her. The cops never came after 30 minutes and they finally gave us our IDs back and told us to leave. If I could rate zero stars I would. I’ve never met more rude people at a club before and I will never come back.

I loved it when I first walked in because the club had their own separate sides when you first walked in the Latinos were on the right they had their DJ their own dance floor and Bar VIP sections everywhere and then when you went towards the back they had another bar and then you made a right at the end and went all the way to the back and that was the club club and I love the club everything was 100% Good Vibes I got a macarona from the Latino side and it was amazing I went to the back and I got elbowed in the head by a girl couldn't even say she was sorry that's why I only gave up two or three stars but it was amazing I want to go back again soon I wasn't able to really do what I wanted to do because I ran out of money I wanted to get a VIP section it was only just me I wanted more people there with me so they can enjoy that moment but I love the club
