Cheap Tuesday: Drink edition

WE'RE HEAR TO HELP >>>

Since we know how much you love free stuff - and getting your drink on - we thought you may want to know about the Surreal Ultra Lounge's B.O.G.O. night. No, it's not about bagging girls. It's buy one, get one night. Specially, drinks.

Tuesdays, the downtown Tacoma dance club serves two drinks for the price of one from 9:02 p.m. till 11:02 p.m. They also discount their pool tables.

Yes, the bagging the girl thing would have been exciting. Take it up with the club Sporto.

HAVE A DRINK WITH THE CULLENS >>>

In the late ‘70s, Goth's association with gargoyle-laden architecture of the Medieval Period and monster novels of 18th century daisy-pushers such as Anne Radcliffe was coffined for the bleak post-punk prophecies such as of Joy Division, dark clothing, androgyny and waif-thin appendages that consumed the definition.

Bela Lugosi's dead - long live Bela Lugosi!

In downtown Olympia Goth means the Cryptatropa bar, or as Olympians call it, the "vampire Bar." It's dark with red lights and black booths, and Pan graces the jukebox.

The joint has a funk of sweat and spilled beer, but frankly so does the street outside. What makes this a killer spot - in addition to the New Wave cranking from the dance floor - are the intimate, dimly-lit booths hiding dweller and their conversations/make-out sessions.
