If you're looking for something a little darker, CLOSER is returning to Hard Luck Bar. This Goth, Industrial, and Dark EDM night, hosted by DJ Stella Maise, is a staple for Toronto's alternative scene.
What to Expect
Expect a curated mix of tracks from legends like Nine Inch Nails, Bauhaus, and The Cure, alongside modern dark electronic sounds from artists like Boy Harsher, Pixel Grip, and Brutalismus 3000. It’s a high-energy, immersive experience that draws a dedicated crowd.
The Perk
As an added bonus, attendees have a chance to win a $250 ShoeFreaks gift card, with the winner announced at midnight. Doors open at 10:00 PM and the music goes until 2:00 AM. Hard Luck Bar is located at 772a Dundas Street West, making it a perfect spot for a late-night outing in the West End.
