The only place to go at night in Sunnydale is the Bronze, unless you are a demon in which case there is a fine selection of bars provided for you. The Bronze is first seen in Welcome to the Hellmouth. Cordelia told Buffy about it, “It’s the only club worth going to around here. They let anybody in, but it’s still the scene.” The Bronze has been the scene of many a broken heart, many bad outfits and many, many displays of bad dancing. Some notable events took place there: Luke held ‘The Harvest‘ there, where he was to provide sustenance to the Master by feeding off victims; Angel staked Darla at the Bronze in Angel; The Scoobies met Faith there in Faith, Hope and Trick; Vampire Willow staged a siege there in Doppelgängland; Olaf the Troll smashed the Bronze up in Triangle.
Spike is obsessed with an onion flower they make, which he mentions on several occasions (Triangle, Crush, Empty Places). They also serve spicy buffalo wings (Crush), peanuts (Triangle) and croissants (The Pack). The Bronze serves alcohol but are very strict about the age limit.
Many bands are seen playing at the Bronze. These have included Cibo Matto, Aimee Mann, Sprung Monkey (the first band to be shown playing there), The Breeders, Nerf Herder and Velvet Chain. Giles sang there in Restless, an episode which also featured Anya performing a stand-up routine on the stage.
