Don't be put off by the postapocalyptic scene at this nightclub on the edge of Little Italy: Just head on in to one of the best dance floors around. Most of the club's patrons are into Goth, but if that's not your thing, you don't have to pretend to have a good time. You can still appreciate the polished wood dance floor, the sound and light systems, and the talented DJs. Friday nights, and the 1st Thursday of every month, are full-tilt dark-side as the DJ spins a "Requiem Mass" of standard Goth anthems. On Saturdays, at the weekly fetish dance party, the crowd moves to a more industrial beat, with bits of synthpop and darkwave thrown in for good measure. The temperature of the mix changes most radically on Sundays, when the vibe is all-out disco, with music from the '70s, '80s and '90s. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Thursdays of every month are also '80s nights. -- Cynthia Glover
