Drug Test

CAVEAT is a downtown venue that puts on kick-ass, smart events. We’re redefining the boundary between intellect and entertainment. When the thirst for knowledge hits, you don’t have to sit at home watching TED Talks or binge-reading Wikipedia: this is a home for people who love learning, playing, and getting tipsy. Come for the oddball programming – stay for the beer, food and curious company.

Caveat

Since the dawn of mankind, humans have tried to get high in one way or another. Why? Altered states of consciousness can be profoundly dangerous or dangerously profound. Knowledge makes the difference. Each show explores a different topic (LSD, Adderall, Ambien, etc) and features clips of our V.I.P. (Very Inebriated Person) trying the show's topic. We welcome a panel of experts and comedians to discuss with our VIP how these drugs work!  Trigger warning: this will be a frank discussion of drugs and drug use. Come and learn about drugs in a taboo-free, nonjudgemental safe space. Say know to drugs! Doors 6:30pm / Show 7pm Tickets $15 adv / $20 door 21+ This event is mixed seated and standing room. Seats are first-come, first-served.
