Memories, reflections, mementos, and ephemera about The PYRAMID COCKTAIL LOUNGE - from December 10, 1981 - through the early 1990's: its halcyon years, and its lasting influence on generations of revelers, survivors, queer rebels, and their allies.

WE STARTED A NIGHTCLUBBY BRIAN BUTTERICK, SUSAN MARTINAND KESTUTIS NAKAS.DAMIANI, £45A legendarydestination in thehistory of New Yorknightlife, the PyramidCocktail Lounge "wasnot a Danceteria-stylemega-club. Housedin a 100-year-oldtavern at 101 AvenueA, it had been aGerman-American social hall, a hotbedfor organising workers and a dance hall."By 1981, when the weirdos took chargeand Alphabet City was not admired forthe safety of its streets, "the clientele waslargely elderly Ukrainians." Yet in the handsof the downtown party kids and their misfitfriends, the Pyramid became a place whereone might "relax and sparkle", or enjoy its"wildly conceived performative displays."This oral history of the first five years scoursthe memories of staff and regulars still withus for details of its outrageous offerings.
