Live music venue

Small basement venue offers an intimate setting with dark, grimey atmosphere and clear, sharp sound. Crowds bring fun, sexy energy with close proximity to performers and occasional mosh pits. Limited airflow and stale air create a warm, humid environment that intensifies as the space fills.

The DJ plays good music and keeps the energy up even in tough conditions like heat. Performances like the Caifanes tribute and MODULO set get the place jumping, though sometimes dancing is limited.
