QXT’s

been going a lot more and it’s so great! the music is awesome. my fav nites r the 80s nites. they have been doing other events too that have stuck in my head. 90s and new wave nites. those were a lot of fun! i also like their «gothy» type nites becuz they play EDM and industrial and it gets me dancing! its so much fun! the downstairs areas are just ok becuz theres not a lot of ppl down there and i wanna be with the ppl are. but they r worth checking out.

Diva Approved! If you can’t have a good time with good music, great people and a wonderful vibe, it is your own fault. There is something a little different ever weekend to please you pallet. Three dance floors, occasional, bands, performances, art shows, costume contests and fashion shows.

I love places that make me feel like I’ve entered a time warp. This is one of those places.
I came for the Pet Shop Boys tribute night and had a great time with my friend and her boyfriend. There weren’t a lot of people present, but there were some rather entertaining folks there. All that’s missing are a few coffins in the basement and some people smoking cloves outside the front door, and I’m transported to the mid-​1980s where everyone rocked a feathered fringe and a lot of hairspray, goths included.
Next time I am up this way, I’ll drop by for another enchanted evening.

Have been here a few times in the past several years. Always a good time. The club is fairly small but there is also a downstairs area.
Great music options that vary by room (upstairs dance floor, two different rooms downstairs).
Very diverse crowd. Never got any bad vibes or encountered drama.
Great spot for a fun night of dancing. Cheap drinks too!

I’ve been coming here since the Loop closed and I love it. Love the 80’s and 90’s throwback nights. Drinks are cheap early (before 11), get your drink on then dance, dance dance!!! Nice people and great vibe here. Downstairs in the Crypt is where I usually end up on regular nights… great music.
People are friendly and the staff always has a nice word to say. Love this place!
p.s.
the lot a block away has $ 6 parking if you tell them you’ll be at QXT’s

I miss this place! I live in FL now. Last time I was there was 2012 but have been going there since late 90’s. Great people, ambiance, and can’t forget the music! I made a lot of good friendships here. Will definitely see you again Q’s!

Updated below* The place is alright. A good place to go get your dance on. As long as the «promoter» for the club isn’t groping guys inappropriately. I returned here after a long stretch of not going since the last time I was here the «promoter» started touching me inappropriately. I went to dance and have fun, not be harassed by some emotionally undeveloped employee. Whats more disturbing is that, as soon as I returned to the place, said promoter then approaches me while I’m ordering my first drink, and jokes about how I pissed her off when SHE put her unwanted hands on Me. I had to actually leave the bar area to stop being harassed by this… person. Just ask Nicole, the bartender. She saw both encounters.
I still got my dance on, but only because I was determined. At least she didn’t pursue me on the dance floor. Avoid the scarecrow looking old bartender/“promoter” if you are a guy and you should be alright.
Update: 5÷22÷15: From 2 stars to 1. Just went back to give this place it’s third shot. They had a new age thing that looked cool on their promo stuff online.
When I got to the door to pay, the bald guy with horn rimmed glasses at the front asked my name. When I told him my name he asked that i step outside with him for a second.
Weird.
Once outside he then asked if I had written this original Unilocal review (above). When I responded that I had written the review he said that it would ‘be best if you weren’t in here anymore’ because a review like mine ‘is really bad for business’. In effect telling me I couldn’t come in. Because of a Unilocal review.
Seriously?
And me writing the review is the problem, not the employees behavior.
To be clear, both of my previous visits were uneventful other than the unwanted advances and comments toward me. After distancing myself at the beginning of my second and most recent visit (before tonight), I danced all night, kept to myself and stayed till closing. Nothing about my behavior would warrant being denied entry.
So instead of trying to get to the bottom of the complaints in my review, instead of asking about my previous experience, he decided to deny me entry to the venue. Interesting customer service approach.
After trying to explain my side of the story (you know, the one I described above originally) for several minutes, (because at the time i still wanted to go in, have a good time and dance) being told the employee acted that way ‘because she was probably drunk’ (yes, he said that), and then being told that it would be ‘appreciated’ if i changed my original Unilocal review, and me not accepting that, the bald headed guy lost his cool and began with the classic menacing behavior of a bouncer. He charged up to me, got in my face without making contact, saying ‘you better leave’ etc.
I have no interest in bully tactics. Hell, I thought this community was against just such things. So I left. Total vibe crusher. Bummer.
As someone who works for a living in the entertainment field, it’s unbelievable to me that some venues decide to treat complaints from their customers and problems with employees this way. I will not be giving this place a fourth chance.

I miss Batcave and The Bank…
Having gotten THAT off my chest, I finally found my way to this place.
I got to dance. And for that I am happy. Used to go dancing every weekend. No matter where in the country (or out) I was.
I only partook of the main floor, not being sure of how to access the basement if it was even open.
I am surprised that this is the only such club I’ve found in the NY/​NJ area outside of Pyramid in NYC.
It is what it is…
I’ll be back to dance some more…

I came in here initially not sure what to think. This was my first «club» experience, and though I used to wear black everything, collars, leashes and way too much eye liner, I’ve been far removed from the goth scene since high school.
Ladies get in for free before 11, so you bet your ass I was inside at 10:30. Guys are $ 10 but you can print out a coupon to save $ 2. Keep in mind, you cannot show them your phone. You must print out the coupon.
There were only about 10 people on the dance floor at first, but that doubled around midnight. Dancing here is totally different from your typical (or what I assume to be typical) club scene. Everyone basically dances by themselves or in circles of people. No one is going to judge you here because everyone is doing something a little different. It’s also dark and the laser lights are distracting. I don’t typically go all out, but before I knew it, I was right in the middle of the action. I came here with 5 friends and everyone had a great time.
One gross thing was the pool table. I played a round and noticed that there are these huge stains that look like blood. I wondered later if they did that on purpose to set the scene. I hope not.
The music was loud. Very very loud. So don’t be an idiot and stand next to the speakers for an hour unless you want to continue yelling over the buzz in your ears for hours after you leave.
I didn’t drink but my friends were happy with their beverages which were reasonably priced around $ 7. If you’ve never visited a goth club and you have an interest, you should try this place out.

One major change: The club is now 21+ only.

It would have been nice if they posted on the website they were switching 80’s night to when I attended on Friday the 24^th. It was my first time here I came around 11 it wasn’t that crowded but then it started picking up. I initially came for the industrial music, I’m an 80’s fan but not to dance to. Nevertheless I made the best of the experience and had an awesome time. Met some cool people and could not stop dancing. I forgot what my drink was called but the bartender was hot (female) with blonde hair and she cooks up some tasty drinks. Would definitely go again. No cover price if you arrive before 11 after 11 it’s $ 10 I believe unless it’s for a special event. The guy who owns the business and checks your id is a funny guy full of personality.

If you asked me 10 years ago i’ve would of given it 5 stars, and five years ago 4 stars. Well you get the picture, for some reason or other in the past 3 years or so more and more fat goths are going there. I can’t agree more then with Trey R. in his review.” I hate that this is the place I had to see a fat girl in fishnets”. He said it best. Back in the day you would see very fit and petite people going to the club now not so much. I don’t want to sound to shallow as to say that’s why the club is going down, thats just one reason, the other is lack of change of the décor, music by that i mean them keeping it the same and not taking a risk once in-​awhile.

I’ve been going to this club since I was 18. Some changes here and there, basically the same old same old.
The place needs a make-​over to compete with other places in the area. There’s a lot of discrimination against «normal» people from the regulars about being normal and ruining things… but honestly, the place isn’t going to go anywhere with a handful of goth-​lifestyle folks in the place, and because of all the bias it’s running everyone out. Where this club used to thrive on the weekends you will only find 20 or so people now.
I like the place because the music is good! (when industrial isn’t being requested)
The drinks are well priced 4 – 5 dollar beers and shots 6 – 7 dollar mixed drinks
I met the love of my life here

I went here last May to see a former friend DJ. It’s supposed to be an Industrial/​EBM/​Goth club, but on that particular night, it sounded like they were playing a combination of 90’s grunge, unlistenable Industrial Metal and some indiscernible garbage I couldn’t fathom.
The venue contains a main floor with plenty of space for dancing and sitting, a bar with an attentive and friendly bartender and a basement with two separate rooms. The main floor is where most people are dancing to the crap music, the first room in the basement plays «goth» and the second one plays decent 80’s music. For someone who doesn’t mind what kind of music is playing and can’t afford to go to New York, this place is decent. Otherwise, I’d skip this place and head to NY, since it’s only a short drive away.
Pros: Friendly and attentive bartender, affordable drinks and separate rooms.
Cons: Unlistenable music (except for the 80’s room), poorly dressed crowd with their glow in the dark attire and boots made from a dead wookie (with the exception of one well-​dressed woman … WOO!) and lack of décor (it was too dark to notice anything).

Plain and Simple:
Music is good but then again I like dancing once I become comfortable. The place was pretty cool looking.
I didn’t really converse with staff but the way they judged the costume costume (Halloween in July) was totally bogus!
Would I go again? Sure, when there isn’t a special even most likely.

I’ve been to this place three times now. The last time being this past weekend for their «Halloween in July» event. I have to admit, I really like the place and I’m not typically a club person. They have comfortable seating, nice décor, and plenty of space so that you don’t feel all squished in (likely why having a venue in New Jersey instead of New York is a good idea).
Firstly it should be noted that there’s a parking lot one block over that lets you park for $ 6. I find this is a good reasonable price to have your car safely on a lot and close by. Secondly if you’re a girl then rejoice because you get in for free between 10 and 11PM (unless there’s a special event). The drinks are cheap too. I usually get amaretto sours there for $ 7. One night they charged $ 3 for the drinks, though not really sure why. I ain’t complaining.
The music varies. Some night they played too much 80s rock, other nights too much hardcore, but overall they mix it up so you can find something you like. Occasionally they open the basement which has two more rooms with different music.
The people are all very friendly and nice. It’s also fun to people watch there. The atmosphere is very open and you don’t get judged by how you dress like some clubs I’ve heard of (this is a goth club after all). Some people dress casual, others dress it up.
The only reason they lost a star is because of the Halloween in July costume contest. It really did seem kinda set up with how the guy who won did not put any effort into his costume and seemed to be friends with the staff. That was a jerk-​ish thing to do, and I’m surprised they let that happen like that for all to see to blatant favoritism.

I gave this place a 3 because I’m not sure what to think of it.
For one, it’s in Newark. Sure Newark has a shitty rep but how much trouble can you get into when there’s a Taylor Swift concert going on around the corner? And I’d still rather go to Jersey than the City.
Two, if you stay there long enough, you feel like you’re in an armpit. Brought me back to when I used to go to local band concerts.
Speaking of things that no longer exist, maybe I’m too old school but I don’t really understand the techno-​y, industrial aspect in the goth genre. I can easily dance to Korn or Kidney Theives or SOMETHING with lyrics or good beat but the music was kinda shitty. I liked one song they played and they managed to play Garbage and NIN and then went back to crap again.
Then there was the piss ass drunk chick trying to hit on any girl she could find. Pretty much every girl within a foot of her including myself and my friend.
The alcohol was good and fairly priced and I liked that there’s plenty of seating as there is dance space. The bathroom on the main floor was clean but no so much the bottom level. And the people who work there seem nice and drunk girl aside, the people there are nice for the most part.
The other reason they lost a star is that their halloween in july contest was a joke. There were people on stage who put effort into their costumes but the contest was judged by how many friends people had to clap for them. The guy wearing a bra won the contest. WTF? They practically gave him the prize and seemed to just go through the contestants for sheer principle.
Would I go back? Maybe. I might. I’m not much of a club person to begin with but I could see myself coming back again at some point.

Q’s and I have a bit of a love/​hate relationship.
I hate that it’s in newark. I rarely go clubbing outside of manhattan.
I hate that this is the place I had to see a fat girl in fishnets (picture pressing jello against a window screen — yeah).
I hate that sometimes you’ll hear an hour of just Wolfsheim, And One, and She Wants Revenge.
On the other hand… there are good things:
I kinda love Wolfsheim and And One, and She Wants Revenge isn’t that bad.
Some really cool people work here and have worked here in the past. Particularly their amazingly fun bartenders.
On a good night, I can see and dance with attractive people in lovely outfits. On a bad night, I can hear some decent music, drink with my friends, and heckle the ridiculous folk. Either way, fun is had.
Basically, when people invite me here, I groan and say «ohh noo not q’s»…but when they do convince me to go, I always wind up having fun. It’s a ridiculous place, but okay in my book.

I like this place alot.
Located in downtown Newark, QXT is very easily acessible by NJ Transit Bus, train, PATH, and Light Rail. If you’re coming from NYC, you can get home on the PATH all night, but DO expect to wait in Penn Station for at least 15 – 45 min,
The music is awesome, lots of industrial, 80s on Fridays, gothy tecnho and heavy synth. Drinks are moderately priced, and tasty, however the cups could be bigger. Bar area is usually a mob scene, but the bartenders are always friendly and attentive.
Overall, good place to check out if you want to get dressed up and get wild for the evening. If you aren’t driving, I would recommend going in a group since walking anywhere at 3 AM probably isn’t the best idea, but NWK can get rowdy so just be careful.

I’ve been a regular at this place since 1998. We all love our club. This isn’t one of those places where you aren’t required to dress up to go. This is a neighborhood staple where you can show up in your clothes from work if you wanna get trashed while being serenaded by The Cure or Hocico. If you want to wear your platform boots, dye your hair black or grab some army camos you’re more than welcome to drop in of course. I just want to stress there is no pressure either way.
Friday nights are «tamer”(Emo hipster crap) than Saturdays (EBM/​Industrial). The drinks are cheap, but they do raise prices from time to time to try to keep up with the rest of the clubs. Crowded and if you are good at avoidiong the unnecessary drama at a Goth/​Industrial club you should do fine here.
They built a stupid hockey arena a couple of blocks away so come early for parking free on the street charge for a couple of the arena lots. BTW, the PATH train RUNS ALL NIGHT so please ignore that reviewer. The area isn’t bad considering its in Newark. I’ve drunkenly stumbled around all night many blocks away and have received no problem and I’m an attractive girl (I’d like to think). In short you want a place to go where you don’t want to hear spanish music or hip hop or country. This is your place.
