Guests can come in mostly any day of the week and express themselves in many forms of art: spoken, writing or by song.

Apache Cafe features unique nightly performances as well as seasonal events to get you in the mood for any upcoming holiday. Whether your passion is poetry, song or performing, the Apache Cafe has something to entice all of the above.
