All alone in the mooonlightttt...
In comments, show us the location of your best memor(ies).
Mine is:
Solid State, formerly La Luna
Site of many, many shows in the early to middle 90's; at one time I was going 2-3 times a week. Hazel, Heatmiser (Elliot Smith's first band), Big Daddy Meat Straw...and the Dandy Warhols.
I don't think I was at the very first Dandys show, but it was close. And it's not like we're talking Sex Pistols Manchester 1976, but there was something special about those days - and it wasn't just Zia taking her shirt off during every show (does she still do that?)
The next few months were spent seeing them at every opportunity, tracing handstamps with sharpies to try to get into over 21 shows around town. That first show may not have been my best memory of La Luna, but it's one of the most lasting.
Anyway, post your own in comments.

McGlinchys is the dive bar that lesser dive bars aspire to be. Many good times, several very bad mornings, and probably quite a bit of stuff I can't recall which is probably for the best. Well worth a visit.

Since I mentioned McGlinchys, it's only right that I point out my current dive bar of choice, The Locust Bar. A truly trashy establishment if ever there was one. You can read a bit more about it here. The subway rumbles underneath, the patrons are prone to violence and the beer is cheap. My kind of place.

so we used to make layered 4 track tapes of ambient sounds and noise along with recorded performance art pieces
Sgo,
that reminds me of 24 Hour Party People, which I saw recently and is my new favorite film, at least until I see Dig! (speaking of the Dandys)...anyway, Tony Wilson tracks down Martin Hannett to ask him to produce what would become Unknown Pleasures(one of the twenty best albums ever recorded), and finds Hannett on top of a cliff with a shotgun microphone. He calls to him from below:
Wilson: "What are you doing?"
Hannett: "Recording the silence."
Wilson: "Recording silence?"
Hannett: "Well, now I'm recording Tony fucking Wilson."
