midnight muse shakedown

by Firebreather at Citysearch

i've been going to ground zero about 20 years now, but will have to switch to chambers because of the bait and switch practices ground zero has lately used for their cover. one recent example: on the midnight muse event on july 17 they charged $12 (over 21) and $14 (under 21) at the door. the show was advertised at $6/$8 (their usual cover) on the city pages web site, the secrets of the city web site, and in print. i was also told over the phone that very afternoon when i called them that it would be $6. i told the cashier girl and the guy stamping hands at the entrance this to no avail, it was gonna be $24 for my girlfiend and i. they were so unapologetic about the shakedown we left on principle

• Pros: long standing goth club
• Cons: aften charges higher than advertised at door

Northeast Neighborhood Oddity

by Prodigalson525 at Citysearch

Imagine an establishment conceived by Anne Rice and Quentin Tarantino and you have Ground Zero. This dark haunt plays great music and serves up moderately priced and well poured drinks by a quick and friendly staff. The clientele is an unusual mix of people - the bulk of which can be best described as former Goth high school kids that have no other outlet now that they are in college...but don't let this deter you.

The 'upstairs' show is quite strange, but the whole experience may be a perfect ending to a pub crawl with the right people.

• Pros: Friendly Staff, Stiff Drinks
• Cons: Cover Charge, Eclectic Clientele
