Description

Wander up to the tip-top of Greenpoint and slip into this dark, red-candle-lit bar just a block away from the Pulaski Bridge. Grab a tallboy of PBR and enjoy music that is probably too loud for you to seriously use the word "enjoy." Saint Vitus might get called a metal bar by some, but really, trying to label the bar is problematic. After all, its decor is made up of wood floors, dead flowers, stained glass, and inverted crosses. Most nights, you'll catch a crust-punk band playing in the back room. At Saint Vitus, you can be whomever you want--and isn't that what being punk is all about?

    "Free spectral echo-drone, with ululations" is the name of Body/Head's no-leashes-on-floors game. Together, guitarist Bill Nace (Vampire Belt, various one-offs) and guitarist/singer Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth) co-sign a meandering atonality that's... More »

    Marissa Nadler

    Although Marissa Nadler’s sparse acoustic folk doesn’t seem like a natural fit for the confines of Brooklyn’s bona-fide metal lair Saint Vitus, she espouses a sort of dark, nightmarish quality, teleported from the backroom some Black Lodge in... More »

  • 2011 | Best Metal Bar

    With all due respect to venerable Brooklyn hesher haunts like Greenpoint's Palace Café, South Williamsburg's jukebox-crusher Duff's, and Park Slope's pentagram-pit Lucky 13 Saloon, six-month-old Saint Vitus kills 'em all. A goth-noir joint sequestered at the furthest end of Greenpoint's Manhattan Avenue, Saint Vitus murders the classics simply because it's equipped with a back-room venue, where hardcore nights, karaoke assaults, and bands called Bitchslicer, Fuck the Facts, and Murder...
