A Halloween album battle pitting The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead against The Cure's Disintegration, decided by a celebrity judge panel and a crowd vote. A live band covers hits from both bands, and the night includes record giveaways for 21+ guests.
Part dive bar, part live music venue, part restaurant that sells a burger-fries-beer-and-a-shot combo for fifteen dollars and calls it the Bushwick Happy Meal. The bands are up-and-coming, the cocktails are strong and well-made, and the room has that specific energy of a place built by people who grew up on Devo and The Clash.
