SKULLZIE SEZ: At first I thought I missed the place! Cleverly disguised as it once was, a sort of Asian health spa/massage parlor, the venue, named Happy Ending (get it? Happy Ending!!!), was easy to glance over if it weren't for the several club-going smokers puffing away outside. I entered.

At second I thought I came in on the wrong night! The main floor of this seemingly trendy venue was populated by a painfully "bright" crowd getting rather "Jiggy" to some of today's more mainstream popular tunes. Then...just as was about to abandon all hope...I spotted a cryptic sign designed with the following hieroglyphics: Stairs -- Arrow pointing down -- Man/Woman -- Martini Glass. Deductive reasoning and countless hours of C.S.I. and Scooby-Doo lead me to believe that here was an underworld to be discovered below! As I made my descent, the familiar beats of energetic goth songs grew louder to my hungry ears. Whew! I found it!
The space is small to moderately sized...not very big...but not too cramped, either. Plus, it has all of these neat knooks and crannies that are adapted to be semi-private sitting areas (*Hint: Get there somewhat early to claim your very own knook and/or cranny!). The long orange slabbed bar looks as though you fell to the bottom of a bottle of Absolute Mandarine! Pretty chic stuff! But beware...the drink prices can also get pretty chic as well! But in fairness, the drink portions are not at all skimpy...moreover, you will find free Vitamin-Water & VitaminEnergy all night long, as well as a Open Bass Ale Bar from 11pm to Midnight, making this the most liquid generous event around!

Now, granted, the Free Admission, and non-existent dress code policy attracts a somewhat more eclectic crowd than most of us are comfortable with...but the Diabolik event is a hidden gem that has yet to be properly discovered and fully enjoyed by our dark community! Actually, if you are still unsure about this monthly event, let me sum up Diabolik in the following manner:
If trendy clubs are where models go...
And Underground clubs are where goths go...
Then Diabolik is where goth models go!
