Our Origin Story
The Manikin Lounge and Live Music Venue is the birthchild of rumored immortal Tom Morris, a possible descendant of Vlad the Impaler. Tom having, been born in the late sixteenth century, has seen the world many times over. So out of necessity and at to avoid the risk of being bored to death by ordinary venues. He decided to create a haven for those that crave and feed on exhilarating natures.
Therefore he created Manikins, which is a place where he, his fellow kin, other supernaturals, and celestials could miraculously transcend together. So, come, and step away from the overwhelming mediocrity of minor venues. Choose whatever fabulous or ghostly essence you live to express, and experience the eclectic culture of the 80's Goth, Darkwave, Ebm, Industrial, New Wave, Rock, Metal, and other origins.
Yes, We Have Merch!
Who needs Gucci, Louis Vuitton, or Channel when you can enhance your Goth style by wearing our darkest fashions. Gossiped to be created and designed by some of the best undead designers in the business. You too can represent the night. Lol, honestly, we started doing merch because a lot of you asked for it, and now we have it.
Thanks for your support
-Tom
