Synopsis
Pyramid Club – The Movie transports you to a flourishing nightlife scene in a small dank bar called the Pyramid Cocktail Lounge, affectionately referred to as the Pyramid Club. Located in the gritty, burnt out East Village in 1980s NYC, and under a cloud of drug use, AIDS, and incomprehensible loss, a cadre of drag queens, artists and misfits of all types create a complex artistic phenomenon that continues to transform and inform the face of culture and counter-culture to this day.
