  We played The Symposium tonight. bartender was extraordinarily friendly and cool. Decent stage for a small venue. No Drink specials for bands though. the only reason why this gets 3 stars is because the "soundguy" really sucked. So much feedback, not A good mix and a pretty solid "I don't give a fuck attitude."

  A pirate ship in a medium-sized small venue?  Of course.
  
  I came here with my friend and then housemate to see a show.  I don't remember what we saw, but I had a good time even though it wasn't my scene.  OK, I don't know exactly what my scene is, but if I can feel comfortable among another scene, then that scene is closer to my scene than, say, scenes that aren't my scene.
  
  The place is cleaner than it looks, but it's probably dirtier than it is.  Approximation.  Why did I just type the word "approximation"?  Why, because I wanted to use the word "approximation" in this review, and now I've used it three times.
  
  Approximation.
  
  Four times.

  Yeah, there's a pirate ship in there. I found an old newspaper from 1969 that had an ad for the Piccadilly restaurant at that same address. It said you could dine aboard the HMS Bounty. So i assume the boat was there back then and you could eat in it. I heard one time Marilyn Manson partied in there.
  
  It's a real dump, but you usually don't have to pay to get in, so it's a cheap dance club. The crowd is goth/indie and not a bunch of assholes. Sometimes they have concerts here.
  
  Urban legend: someone pushed Trent Reznor down the stairs either here or at the Chamber. Some dbags claim to have done the deed. I don't know. It is the 20th anniversary of Pretty Hate Machine which he recorded in Cleve. Maybe they'll have a party for it?

  YARGH!!
  
  All aboard boys, it's Mutiny on the booty!!!
  
  I fuckin love this place.  When I first heard we were going to a club with pirate ships I thought.  . ."what, like long John Silver's?"  And then I got there.   And I got it.  Oh boy did I get it.
  
  See. . .I'm with the band.  I've worked in music long enough that I have enough friends that I'm always with the fucking band.  You wanna kick me out?  Try it, I'm part of the fucking tour (at least for that night. deal).   So countless drinks later, and I was up on the poop deck wtih the lighting designer.
  
  AVAST!!
  
  YARRR, but why is the rum gone???  ME thinks I need to swing low and pillage the village for some libations.
  
  Of course, on the way to said bar wench, I was distracted by the helm.  HARD TO PORT!  SHIVER ME TIMBERS!!  You can't make me walk the plank, that's mutiny!!  See this laminate?   HAHAH,  AWAY  WITH THE!
  
  And so the night progressed.
  
  I fucking love this place.

  The Phantasy is a great venue to book a band, that's for sure.  Michele was very cool to deal with and has been very fair, for both a local and a popular national show(s) that I have put that place.  I've only walked into the place once (for said national booking) and the only thing I can complain about is the overwhelming stench of cigarette smoke and beer...yet, Cleveland went non-smoking quite some time ago.  hmmm.  Other than that, I had a blast.  :)  Rock on, Michele!
