Observations: Last night was their first event at Outer Limits and it was pretty packed. I'd say like 30-50 people at least but it's not a huge bar (so it'll probably become a regular thing unless they hate money.) Large outdoor smoking patio with a fire pit. Everyone is very friendly and there was no drama that I saw. Minimal lighting so if you have sensitivity issues it's not that bad. Heavy fog, but not to the levels of "Something Cold" where you can't even see your hand if you hold it out.<br> | |||

Black Planet
Date: Next one TBA
Hours: 9PM-2AM
Where: The Outer Limits Lounge
5507 Caniff Street
Detroit, MI 48212
Description: An actual goth night where Justin Carver (of Something Cold) and DJ Saint spin vinyl records featuring goth, post-punk, and deathrock for your listening pleasure.
Observations: Last night was their first event at Outer Limits and it was pretty packed. I'd say like 30-50 people at least but it's not a huge bar (so it'll probably become a regular thing unless they hate money.) Large outdoor smoking patio with a fire pit. Everyone is very friendly and there was no drama that I saw. Minimal lighting so if you have sensitivity issues it's not that bad. Heavy fog, but not to the levels of "Something Cold" where you can't even see your hand if you hold it out.
Cover: $5
Door Policy: 21+
Drinks: I don't drink so I don't know. They do serve actual cans of Coke for only $2.
