Fuze Box

Fuzebox is one of those places that's great to head out to if you want to dance with friends, but you really don't want to put too much thought into how you look.

The typical Fuzebox crowd ranges from flannel-clad hipster's drinking PBRs, girls in fishnets, to cyber punks; the crowd is eclectic. It's also pretty gay friendly (owned by the owners of Oh Bar on Lark), so it's a safe place to go if you've tired of Waterworks/ROCKS and want to try something different. You really don't have to worry about fitting in, because no one else does either; it's a bar full of friendly misfits from all walks of life.

I haven't really been to any of the shows there, but I imagine that whether you have a good time during a show would be contingent on whether you like the band, and the crowd that the bands attracts. I'm usually there post-10pm. Goth (every 1st Friday) and 80's (every Saturday) nights are the best nights to go and get a feel for the place. The goth night is very accessible to mainstreamers too.

I'm fairly new to the Capital Area so I've been actively looking for a "spot" to meet folks, so as a child of the 80s I went to the Fuze Box due to a Yelp review. The frist few times were good and since i they carry Hendrick's Gin it was great, BUT recently I went with a few friends only to find out that on top of the cover (which is fine) they started a mandatory coat check for the winter (which is fine) IF THEY DONT CHARGE YOU ANOTHER 2 BUCKS FOR IT. This Spring I may rate them higher.

80's night, for the win!

I hadn't been here in years, and I cannot figure out why.  It's a small place, but it's never been so full that it becomes difficult to dance.  There might be a little squeezing to get from the dance floor to the bar, but it's really not that bad.  The regulars are friendly and welcoming and I had absolutely no problem whatsoever finding people to dance with.

The group of friends I'm running with these days are always looking to dance and let loose, so we'll be back over and over again.  Great time, good music, what more could I ask for?
