The Bronze is a Nightclub in Sunnydale , the Fictional setting for the Television Series '' Buffy The Vampire Slayer ''. Of 144 episodes of the series, 66 have at least one scene at the Bronze. FOOD, DRINK, AND ENTERTAINMENT As the lead characters of ''Buffy'' were in High School during the first three seasons, the Bronze was depicted primarily as a coffee bar that hosts live music and serves as a nightclub. By season three, it became clear that the Bronze has a liquor license,The Bronze served beer in " Doppelgängland " (3.16). although the main characters were still usually seen drinking Cappuccino s or hot chocolate.As can be seen from the episode " Beer Bad " (4.05), the program does not encourage drinking. Note that the bar in this episode is not the Bronze itself. While the Drinking Age in California is 21, it is generally ignored in the show other than when it is needed as part of the story. Some bartenders at the Bronze will not serve minor drinks without ID.In " Doppelgängland " (3.16), Anya asks for Beer and the bartender kept insisting she provide proof of age until she gave up and settled for a Coke . The fourth-season episode " Something Blue " features Willow pining after Oz and dancing drunk. A bottle of beer rolls away from her, leading Xander and Buffy to discover her drunkenness--Buffy reprimands her, reminding her of her own foray into drinking in the episode " Beer Bad ". However, no consequences come directly from Willow's drinking. In one episode of season five, Dawn had to wear a wristband indicating that she was underage, but this is apparently a temporary rule at The Bronze, as it does not recur. Moreover, Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Tara do not have to wear wristbands, even though they are only twenty years old at the time." Family " (5.06). The Bronze seems to have an unlimited refurbishment and furniture-replacement budget and, throughout all seven seasons of ''Buffy'', serves as the venue for most night-time social settings. That the Bronze plays live music is not only used as a Plot Device for Oz 's band Dingoes Ate My Baby but also as a subtle means for the production team to showcase new bands from the Los Angeles area, as well as more well-known artists and bands such as Aimee Mann , Splendid , Cibo Matto , Angie Hart , Michelle Branch and Nerf Herder . The shooting location of The Bronze was at the ''Buffy'' studio lot in Santa Monica, California .
