Death Guild

Congratulations On More Than Two Decades Of Manic Industrial DJ Dancin Fun!SITREPOn the occasion of their 23rd Anniversary Celebration, DEATH GUILD is throwing a wild-ass four (4)-day party to appropriately give justice to the music-AWESOME we've enjoyed these many years.THE SETUPThe DNA Lounge - the home of Death Guild for about a decade now - has thrown open not only the main dance floor and the upstairs lounge, but has also opened up the two remaining upstairs venues to celebrate this special occasion.In fact, in addition to the main DJ-promotion team of DJ Melting Girl, DJ Decay, DJ Joe Radio and DJ Sage, several other DJs and promoters have come together to help with the festivities, including DJ Adrian (BOOTIE) and Emcee Jim Sweeney (Hubba Hubba Revue).The result has been a cavalcade of lots of talented dancers, burlesque artists, DJs, and other showpeople. THE SWAGAlong with the V.I.P. entry is a bag of swag that includes 5 Compilation CDs worth of mixed music (one by each DJ), a Death Guild combo cigarette lighter & bottle opener, and Death Guild dog tag. Sweet sweet swag.THE LOWDOWNA fun time in the old dance club tonight!

Love: Hosting of DG. Their cider and nachos.Hate:The specific lack of effing toilet seats man.Because DNA, ALL your toilets had no toilet seats!!! Being a girl, I find that incredibly gross. I'm not camping, there is no reason your bathrooms should look like a highway truck stop. P.S. I really hate camping.Oh and FYI, you're being watched the entire time you're there.http://www.dnalounge.com/webcast/

Best Dj's... with variety. Every Monday night there is a rotation ...Your fav EBM, Classic goth, industrial and more. Two rooms for dancing and more on special event nights.People are chill - reserved as might be expected at any similar club... but friendly if you make conversation. They go the extra mile with decorations , cool lighting effects and occasional vendors that offer some nice adornments at reasonable prices.A must for any Goth or 'Darker Spirit' looking for a awesome dancing! If you are found return to Death Guild

I had a great time at Death Guild! Went for Halloween and it was quite a lively turn-out. There was a nice mix of music--from industrial to 80's--and the crowd was appropriately diverse; all ages were represented. If you're a goth who regularly bemoans the lack of the right "scene," you will feel right at home here. If you're not a goth, but nonetheless enjoy dabbling in the subculture, you will still enjoy yourself. The host club, DNA lounge, is spacious--two story, with multiple bars, and it is adjoined by a pizza place that exudes a truly mouthwatering aroma. The cover charge is only $5--a seemingly excellent deal that is soon negated by the egregiously high drink prices. The cheapest well drink is $9. Anything more complicated is $16. The bartenders pour heavy, though, bless their hearts. By drink #3, I was spinning so you will get close to your money's worth.I'll definitely go back. Wish I lived closer.

Death Guild is fun to visit like once a year when you've got a hankering for some Siouxsie Sioux and recreating your fav looks from your high school days. Don your fishnets and check it out.As you would pretend everything is ironic whilst at a hipster bar, best attitude to have here is that everything is depressing and/or annoying. It's a cool space, the music is quite nice and there's plenty to see.

From what I understand it's the longest running Goth/ Industrial Clubs still around in the areaThe best one around the Bay Area. When scenes die, they die. The good thing about "Death Guild" is it doesn't feel like the early days of Goth ever did & that is commendable. I would HIGHLY recommend going up stairs, to check out that dance floor. I will return (at least a couple more times.

I love Death Guild! I've been coming here for years now and always have the most amazing time, such a wonderful escape from life! The music is well rounded and always danceable, the crowd is nice and generally to themselves. You can be a free bird here, never any judgement or weird looks. They've been around for over 20 years because of the feeling it gives people. If you like dressing in black and dancing the night away, this is your place!

I'm not sure if this should be a review of Death Guild or DNA Lounge. I'm picking DG since I was there on a Friday night "Meat vs Death Guild" event. I've been to DNA Lounge for Death Guild nights as well as a few live concerts. I love the environment, the people, the bartenders, the bouncers, and the music. Yeah, it's pretty typical goth/industrial/EBM you'd expect, but most of it is music I really enjoy hearing and dancing to. It gives me an opportunity to pull out the bondage pants, fishnets, and whatever else I love to wear but can't during the work week. The live concerts are good and I've seen both VNV and A23 here. I've been to better sounding venues but this is still decent enough that the experience is worth going if your favourite band is here.The prices on the drinks can be a bit up there, but if you pick up drinks that they have on special, it's not bad at all. I did find the coat check cost to be a bit high, but when you don't have many options for a jacket, it's worth doing instead of freezing without one.Two thumbs up to DNA Lounge and Death Guild. It's a great place to go for your dancing needs!

So other than the fact that you may run into some of your favorite industrial bands, the music is good (for the most part). For some reason though i have lost something every time I go there. There are a mix of people most nights and there can be ass holes that wonder in. For the most part though, it is fun to go to get dressed up, drink with your friends, and dance the night away with no inhibitions. Cheers!

Was looking for an open place on Monday, found this. Pretty much everyone over there was a regular. Nothing bad, nothing great either.
