The Haunt has been around for 30 years (though for only about 5 in its current location). It offers live music of virtually any genre several days a week.
They have specific events certain nights during the week. The most popular event occurs on Saturday nights, their 80s (and 90s) night. This can be wall-to-wall people dancing and singing Livin' on a Prayer. Fun times! Hours for this event are 9pm to 2am, with last call occurring at 1am. Cover charge is $5 if you're over 21, and $7 if you're 18 to 20.
Sunday nights at 9pm ($3 cover for those over 18) feature the goth/industrial night. My only recommendation for this is to wear black and you just might fit in.
Other nights of the week, and earlier in the evening, you will find local bands or even more famous musicians in everything from punk to reggae and swing.
