Monday Night Club

Feb 08, 2010 - 9:00 PM

Monday Night Club

A weekly clusterf*ck of local bands, solo musicians, comedians, thespians, photographers, painters, monologists, linguists, performance artists, authors, DJs, jammers, scammers, filmmakers, and films experimenting in different-than-usual norms on an in-the-biz night with you as judge, jury, victim, viewer, but not executioner. Sorry, we reserve that right.

It's going down every Monday from 9 till close and trust me, this is going to be something you'll want to see.

So you're already affecting your work habits to accommodate a more intense drinking schedule, go to Pub Quiz on Wednesday nights, booze your weekends into oblivion and spend Sunday afternoons at brunch drinking Bloody Mary's to kill your hangover. Well, with an already busy week, we're doing Tuesdays too.

Tuesday night is now Karaoke night! That's right, we're going to let you have a microphone, put it near your mouth and use it to amplify your voice! We're bringing thousands of titles, wireless mics and a digital lyric projector. All you have to bring is a lack of inhibition and a willingness to get drunk (in case some of your inhibition comes with you.) It's huge in Japan.

Pub Quiz: w/ Irish John

Pub Quiz: w/ Irish John

There are few ways to truly gauge what you have learned since you've become cognizant of the world around you. Internet IQ tests, sudoku and Brain Age will only take you so far, and since you're already reading this, you really need to show up at the bar on Wednesdays at 8. We bring in the foulest mouthed Irishman in Philadelphia as our illustrious Quizzo host and draw some of the most trivia-savvy competitors to pit your wits against. Drinking is encouraged and the filthier the team-name, the better. Prizes are a $40 tab for 1st place and a $20 tab for 2nd. See you on Wednesday!

Olde City Sideshow

Feb 12, 2010 - 10:00 PM

Olde City Sideshow

If it were 100 years ago, these guys would be traveling the southern states scaring the backwoods, toothless masses with their acts of the grotesque and macabre. Sword swallowing, flame eating, face nailing, bug eating, bed-of-nails laying, creepy organ music playing, scream inducing and always entertaining; the Olde City Sideshow is an act for the ages. Not exactly all ages, but the ages anyway. Come, watch, be disturbed and drink every 2nd Friday of the month.
