Housed in a revamped bar joint a few paces from 40 Watt on Washington St., Repent attracts its visitors with its gothic black and blue sign, devilish crimson light strand and mohawked chain- and ink-decked punk-rockers, welcoming both the virgin and frequent visitors.

Transformed from The Engine Room and then Lunch Paper, this bar tavern steams with hot nights and unexpected happenings.

Missy Koefog, owner of Repent, can account for many surreal occurrences at the bar.

For example, a band member once threw a customer out of a window. The customer was not harmed, but it’s feasible to say that supernatural orders could have influenced the deed.

“I spent the night … I definitely heard something where no one was there … kind of near the bathroom and dart boards,” said Koefog about the mystical remnants left at the bar.

Koefog does not know if any deadly occurrences have ever taken place, but speculation as to whether the scene straddles an altered universe of metaphysical spirits is up to debate.

The people who crowd around the dungeon-esque lot know Repent to house many spine-tingling bands such as The Dumps, Music Hates You, In the Lurch, Kylesa and Mastodon.

Since its opening in October 2006, the venue has revamped its choices of activities to enhance the variety instead of tagging themselves as a bar and music venue.

Repent now hosts drunken bingo on Monday nights, a restaurant and bar employee discount on Tuesday nights, and tattoo and salon employee discounts on Wednesday nights, as well as $2 Long Island Iced Teas all the time.

Gaining reputation through word of mouth and MySpace, Repent is making headway by creating new and interesting to-do’s.

Repent plans to gain its fame by building a skate park on its back porch.

Every speed demon board-rider can come to Repent and breeze past the head-banging band, grab one of the beers on the bar, ollie for the admirers and hit the bends of the park.

So grab some Voodoo Locks hair gel, paint on some onyx nail polish and get ready for a night of mayhem, for every night at Repent trips with surprises and spirits waiting to be unleashed from the shadows.
