yes, the clubhouse is generally gross. the sticky slime that covers the floor appears nuclear and scares me. yes, the security detail could use a hug. they're always so grumpy! but i enjoy tryin' to make them smile. yes, the drinks are cheap. as such, your liquor selection is also cheap. don't try to get fancy - my standard vodka tonic is challenging enough. stick with beers and standard cocktails. but the music is so good! a show at the clubhouse is always memorable - up and coming indie acts, ska bands i loved in high school (can you say buck-o-nine) and i even saw pennywise here once. small enough to be intimate (in a hungover, unshowered way) but large enough to draw some really, really rad acts. ticket prices are always reasonable - you won't have to spend your last hundo to see a show. i never hesitate to stop by when the right band is around. oh and you can get your drink on at the place next door before the show. score!
