We were here as tourist elderly goths celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. It was wonderful. The best and most reasonably priced drinks, excellent music, and very sweet people. It makes my black heart full to see how the subculture has carried on. And gotten more inclusive and kind. May the dark goddess bless you all.🖤
We went to The Crypt for the first time for an 80s night and what a unique place! It was such a great time. It does get quite warm inside, even on a cool night, so just keep that in mind going in.
I went for the Stranger Things pop up. The themed drinks were on point, great music, and people vibing and dancing carefree.
Incredibly unique spot that causes similar spaces to pale in comparison. They bring in local talent for dancers, art vendors, and even had a tarot reader holed up in a booth when I dropped by. The staff are incredibly nice and easy to get along with. I had bought a shirt earlier, and then lost it, but a few of the staff came together to help me find it. You can tell they put a lot of love into the place. The drinks are fun and good. It was not very full when I was there, still lively though, so I can only imagine what it's like when they do their special events.
The Crypt has the best vibe in the entire city. Great bartenders, cool events, and a dark and spooky atmosphere. Hands down the #1 bar around 🔥
