New York City goth club review for The Red Party

The Red Party is located at 116 in the West Village of Manhattan.  116 is a small tired looking basement level bar.  The Red Party is advertised as playing post punk, goth and death rock.  This sounded great to me.  Inside the bar, there were some good looking people and some not so good looking ones.  The evening's energy felt low.  About half the crowd looked goth, so that was good.  I did hear some good goth music too.  I didn't think it was very death rock or post punk.  It was mostly goth and what could be called dark alternative.  The music was disjointed at times.  They even played some synth pop and some other things that didn't belong there.  I was expecting it to be real seriously deep goth, but I guess they just advertise that way.

I'll give The Red Party one star for it's goth music and one for it's crowd.  The Red Party gets no stars for atmosphere, energy/enthusiam or location.
