WE SAY:Formerly known as the home of electroclash, Club Luxx, the club is now known as Trash, a dumpy dive bar with a pool table, PBR, car seats, and Free tator tots!
From NY MAG
Ably filling the Grand Street niche left by the semi-lamented Luxx, Trash proves that rock dives don’t have to be dank, dilapidated holes-in-the-wall. Really loud bands break the sound barrier in a small back room, while up front, girls in ripped fishnets and guys in studded jackets snuggle in cushy car backseats as they wait for their friends' bands to begin. In the spacious front room, license plates and old beer signs hang on the walls and the stink of free, greasy tater tots permeates the air. It's even kind of well-lit. The uniformly-tattooed, college-age patrons couldn't care less. Supercheap late-night happy hour specials ensure no one's making it to class on time tomorrow.
From City Search
"Styled like a hipster Bennigan's, this Billyburg rock club lets the good times roll. The bordello-red walls are decked out with NASCAR posters, Tom Jones album covers, Schlitz plates and religious icons depicted on paper fans. Metallica blasts through the stereo speakers. Mohawked and tattooed locals sink into surprisingly cozy bench and bucket seats lifted from junkyard cars. The effect is kitschy, hip and somehow familiar--the decor and good-times vibe is very T.G.I. Friday's, even though bartenders don't serve food (nor do they wear weird hats or wacky buttons). Behind the main area, a fully enclosed back room with a second bar offers a stage for local and touring rock bands. It's mostly standing room, but a few more car seats are placed around the perimeter. The room isn't too big and the bands are really loud--just how the crowd likes them. For a few quieter rounds of pool, grab a pint and stay up front."
From Village Voice.
"As most New Yorkers know, automobiles are inconvenient pollution machines. But that doesn't mean we don't enjoy the feel of leather under our butts or laughing at rest stop rednecks. At Williamsburg's Trash (formerly electroclash ground zero Luxx), relax in a ripped-out car seat while perusing the bar's collection of license plates and roadside-attraction kitsch, or play a game of Big Buck Hunter 2 and nurse a PBR cheaper than a gallon of gas. Then take the subway home"
From Shecky's
"The good people at Trash probably won't take offense to our calling their bar a semi-contrived dive, because it's certainly a gold medalist in that category. A long front room stretches to a pool table in back where both rockers and fashion victims find common ground over $2 PBR's. In the backroom, 3-6 rock-oriented bands play nightly and the $5-$7 cover more than pays for itself in the form of a 9pm-10pm well-drink open bar. The jukebox covers everything from the Ramones to Prince and the crowd couldn't be less interested in whether or not something's "danceable." Old license plates and random kitsch covers otherwise red walls and Trash's furniture looks as though it was pulled out of a decommissioned 747. What's the best part about this place? Free tater tots for anyone who buys a beer. Yee-haw!"
