QXT's Nightclub is a live music and dance club on Mulberry Street in Newark, New Jersey catering mainly to a goth clientele.[2]
The venue opened as a nightclub in 1991.[3] Formerly the Quixote restaurant from which it gets its initialed name, the venue was built in the style of a Spanish castle in the 1970s. Prior to that, at midcentury, the address housed the Capitol Restaurant. The goth subculture began to predominate at the venue in the 2000s.[4]
The goth club is located in the heart of what was once Newark's Chinatown beginning in the 1890s. It sits in the area of the city between City Hall and the Ironbound.[5] It is host to shows by live punk, goth, and hardcore bands and DJs as well as burlesque acts and a number of film shoots.[6] Terrifier 2, The Trial of the Chicago 7 and others were filmed on location in the club.[7]
