_____________________

We are a queer owned / forward and operated 225 cap music venue AND event space with great sound and amazing / supportive / badass staff.    We are 18 years young!

We want to host your private party or your organizations celebration / talk / meeting.  We rent our space for video shoots or anything that will leave positive energy behind.  JUST WRITE US WE WILL DO ALMOST ANYTHING 🙂 

Join our PATREON!  It is the most helpful – we are a community organization and venue and your help allows us to offer space to queer / progressive orgs that keep Durham on the side of your and our communities!  We’ve been here for over 15 years and watched Durham change in ways we both appreciate and are concerned about.  We need your support to stick around – so thank you for anything you can offer to help out, be it coming in and partying or donating to our patreon to ensure events like Queer Movie Night / Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night and fundraisers for local orgs can keep happening here.

ACCESSIBILITY

We do have seating in the form of benches against the wall but that might be tight if getting into tight spaces is not relatively easy.  We can set chairs out and its best to just hit the venue up at doors or before the show and ask the bar tender to set out chairs if there aren’t any!  Also if you’d like to sit at the bar you can ask for a stool (they are often taken up for big crowded shows) and there’s generally a great sightline where you can avoid the crowds as well!  There is an accessible stall in each bathroom.  Please let us know anything you need.  

UNDER 21
Some events are over 21 and some are accessible to under 21 folks!  Please check the web!  Mostly dance parties and karaoke are over 21.  Most shows are ALL AGES.

SMOKING
We have a back patio for you to engage in your deep breath practice and consume your libations.
