The Zon

Also called the Zen by fanfic authors, The Zon is Lawndale's alterna-rock venue/bar where Mystik Spiral had regular gigs. Found on Dega Street, it is considered a hangout for the young adult demographic. High-school students are sometimes found there. Jane Lane and Daria Morgendorffer attend only to provide support (moral and roadie) for the band Mystik Spiral, of which Jane's older brother, Trent Lane, is the lead singer and lead guitarist.

The source of the confusion over the place's proper name is unclear (possibly due to a murky image from an episode in the series), but the Virtual Lawndale webpage in MTV's Daria website shows the name as "The Zon" (look for location #10 on the map). In addition, in a line of recorded dialogue in the official video game Daria's Inferno, Tracy Grandstaff pronounces the name as "Zōn" (like "Zone").

The Zon first appeared in the opening scenes from "Ill." In "Jane's Addition," Jane meets Tom Sloane at the Zon while Mystik Spiral is playing live music.
