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?

    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 »

    Has John Sharkey III Toned Down His GG Allin-Meets-Don Rickles Act?

    You are forgiven if the name John Sharkey III doesn't mean much to you. Last time he performed in NYC under the Puerto Rico Flowers moniker, you may have been gyrating at a discotek or standing on the... More »

    Raven's John Gallagher Once Locked Lars Ulrich In a Bathroom

    In the early- to mid-80s, Raven--who play Saint Vitus on Sunday--and their "athletic rock" were essential to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Known for their wild live shows, they opened for the l... More »

    Without British Metal Legends Diamond Head There'd Be No Metallica

    It's gotta be a bitch when a band you influenced becomes the richest, biggest-selling metal group in music history... and you're still plugging away in clubs 37 years after you began. Such is mythic b... More »

    Raven

    The first band ever to take Metallica on the road were British self-proclaimed "athletic metal" group Raven, who joined up with the burgeoning behemoths in 1983 and are celebrating their 40th anniversary next year. Although their relative lack of... 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...
