The Nines

The Lizard Lounge’s sister venue, Red Light, was reborn in 2016 as The Nines.WIth a new layout and sound, lights and video equipment, The Nines shot into the scene with a grand opening jam-packed with live music and aerial performances. What used to be a dance club for EDM-focused DJs turned into a mecca for a vast selection of live music and entertainment. A staple of the club’s event calendar is the aerial performances. This should come as no surprise considering who the owner is: Allen Falkner, a suspension artist. He’s not your run of the mill suspension artist, though. Falkner popularized the craft and is known as "the father of modern suspension." His wife Courtney Crave is an international model, burlesque dancer and aerialist. Needless to say, there’s always something interesting going on at The Nines. When there’s music, you can grab a drink and some good ass tacos before you hit the dance floor.
