Cache Bar may invigorate Logan’s nightlife
Logan bar employees and customers are expecting to see an increase in student-driven nightlife when the new Cache Bar opens in November — and even those who will be competing for the younger patrons are excited.
“We see it as a good thing,” said Casey Koe, an assistant manager of The White Owl, a tavern located on Center Street, a three-minute walk from the new bar. “If anything, it will create a walking area, and people can bounce around. I think it will be fun, especially for younger crowds to start coming out more.”
That’s what Cache Bar general manager Taylor Lawin is hoping to see, too, as a result of the renovations and transition from a music venue to Logan’s first full-service bar not tied to a private club. Renovations include an updated stage, a new bar, and more seating.
“We don’t want to be better than WhySound or The White Owl,” Lawin said. “We want to be the best for us, and hopefully in turn that will make everyone else better.”
Lawin said collegial competition will create “a better product for our community.”
“At the end of the day, that is our goal,” he said. “We want the community to thrive.”
Andrea Neeley, a student at Utah State University, is among those who are enthusiastic about the change.
“The Cache is such a cool venue,” she said. “It’ll be a really cool bar, I think.”
Fellow student Tanner Grantham is excited, too.
“I can’t wait for the new Cache Bar to open,” Grantham said. “I do plan on going as soon as it opens. I hope it’s good for the student community. USU students need a fun college bar to socialize at.”
Koe said that because Logan is a college town without many bars, the opening of the Cache Bar will “probably help to improve businesses especially like ours, where we need more of a night life in Logan.”
Lawin said social media support has been “overwhelming.”
“It’s been awesome seeing the support through our socials and some email marketing that we’ve done,” he said.
He noted that there are concerns about opening during the COVID-19 pandemic.
