Monday, September 14, 2026, 4:00 AM - 9:00 AM · Monty Bar, DTLA, Los Angeles
Resident DJ Steve Skeletal and guest DJ Xiola spin gothic rock, deathrock, and batcave at Monty Bar on Sunday, September 13. This edition doubles as a pre-party for The Tear Garden, with no cover for the 21+ crowd from 9pm to 2am.
A downtown dive that knows exactly what it is and has zero interest in evolving, thank you very much. Dim, wood-paneled, and perpetually buzzing with regulars who’ve been coming here since before DTLA was a brand, it’s all strong pours, jukebox energy, and conversations that drift between nonsense and unexpected honesty. There’s karaoke, there’s dancing, and there’s always someone who feels like they’ve been here for three days straight. Come late, order whatever’s fastest, and don’t overthink it.
