DJ Beatnik loves that old-time rock ’n’ roll

By Adriane Goetz

Published on June 19, 2008

Why is it that no one dances to rock anymore? Today, most nightlife enthusiasts bump and grind to Top 40, hip-hop, and house, but in the swingin’ '60s, there was enough rock ’n’ roll hip-shakin’ goin’ on to jolt the Richter scale. Though we can’t recapture that magic without a time machine, we’ll happily settle for Déjà Vu, a new evening of retro rock that happens on Wednesday nights. DJ Beatnik spins '60s garage, soul, R&B, freak beat, psych, surf, and fuzz exclusively on vinyl. The joint’s indoor/outdoor bar, game room, and drink specials make this a great spot for non-dancers as well.
Wednesdays, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., 2008
