Editorial Review for Pyramid Club – by Leah Hochbaum
The Scene
This East Village institution has the well-meaning but standoffish charm reminiscent of an aging hipster. The muted silver walls in the back room look to be covered in a decade or so of dust, but the mirrors behind the front bar reflect well enough for preening. As one of the first in the area to welcome a gay crowd, the club enjoys a nice mix of persuasions.
The Draw
On the weekends, it's 30-something punk types dressed in oodles of black and sporting ample eyeliner who frequent this too-cool saloon. House and trance--and plenty of '80s on Friday nights--play on the back room's earsplitting sound system, while a multitude of colored lights pulse with the beat. True to its divey status, the bar serves beers like Rolling Rock and screwdrivers in tiny plastic cups, but it's the Red Bull that really seems to get people going.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThe cover ranges between $3 and $20. To avoid a high-priced surprise, call before you arrive.

I try to stop in on Thursday's 80's New Wave night whenever I can. They have great drink prices ($2 and $3 beers and $4 mixed drinks). The last time I was in there I found out that they are starting to kick off local rock, metal and hardcore bands on Wednesday night. Hey it's only $10 cover at the door for a night of hot local bands. You can't beat that. Plus they sometimes book touring bands.
Pros: Great drink prices!!!

We came here on Friday night, Oct. 27th, theme was "gay 80's" which we thought would be fun, but we didn't end up staying for very long. After one glass of red wine, I asked bartender #1 for a second one when he snapped back that they were "all out" at which point, somewhat taken aback, I asked whether they had white wine. At this point he began spewing out obsenities and insults at myself and a couple of my female friends, bringing me back to those glorious years in elementary school, calling us "hideous", "horseface" and similar clever names. Before long, bartender #1 succeeded in getting bartender #2 turned against us, and both decided they would no longer serve any of the 10 or 12 people affiliated with us. When we objected, they let the bouncer know that we were causing trouble, and none of us was surprised when the bouncer took the 2 gentlemen's word over ours and asked us to leave. As it turned out, one of aforementioned bartenders believed himself to be "the manager" of the place, so we decided the only thing left to do was, um, leave. This sort of lashing out has no place in a public establishment. Girls, stay away from this club.
