This place is typical of the Deep Ellum neighborhood. There was nothing special or fancy. Red furniture and super dark walls and floor. I give it a 2 star because I went on a random weekday night to meet up with a friend that wanted to check it out. The entrance was confusing because they apparently moved it. It used to be on the street which meant you walked through the place to get to the bar. But now they have it on the side of the building which would make sense but theres nothing to really indicate that. It also opens up directly into a pay lot which doesnt give it curb-side appeal. It leads me to think they either own the parking or are getting a cut. Therefore, they want you to park there for convenience. I was the only person standing anywhere near the bar for service and had to wait several minutes each time for the bartender to decide to serve me instead of talking to her friend. Even then, it was the friend-who I suppose was also an employee/manager-who would point at me so I could get served. The bartender wasnt rude, just preferred to stand around and chat than work. I give the 2 stars because of service and I didnt really like the place. Upstairs on the roof is a nice but limited view of downtown. I was put off by the suspension rig that apparently the owner uses to suspend himself from hooks. Not my thing but this is Deep Ellum, that kind of thing is probably encouraged. Like most of these bars that cater to more of the underbelly of Dallas, it might not last long.

Ive been to several events since the change over to the new look and name. Against other reviews about the odd events and atmosphere, I find it a nice change of pace from typical clubs and bars in Deep Ellum. The upstairs area is very unique and its where I go to each time it is open. The new rigging to allow aerial performances is one of kind for the area and looks great at street view. The interior has a great vibe to it and plays off the atmosphere the place is trying to do. It feels sophisticated but I dont feel out of place in jeans. The events going on are fun to attend in various costume. I showed up dressed 1930s style and people were in Togas, anime costume and even full ball gowns…its basically a costume party every weekend. Id say give it a shot before reading into what other people review this place as each person will find the place unique in a positive or negative way. Personally I think its a welcomed addition to the neighborhood and you wont find a place like it.

Always something fun going down here, and the bartenders are generous if you are! ;) Monday nights are hilarious with Cards Against Humanity, which is excellent for those of us with a twisted sense of humor, lol. Wednesdays rocks out new wave, industrial, and goth music. Thursdays are great with EDM and a high energy crowd. Plus you never know what sexy burlesque acts youll catch here, skilled aerialists up on the rooftop, or what interesting folks youll meet at the monthly Abnormal Formal at this counter-culture club. I feel at home here at The Nines, where you can let your freak flag fly!

The Nines has a Fantastic late brunch! They serve real mimosas with more champagne than OJ and they are only $3. The chicken and waffle sandwiches are awesome! In fact, all of the food is good. Ive never had bad food there. I love that I can dance and eat in the same place. Mondays are 1/2 price food night and they play Cards Against Humanity or Trivia. They also have game consoles hooked up to TVS in some booths. Its a dance club that is fast becoming a neighborhood every day hangout.

Its not often I praise the staff at a bar, but the staff here really is great. No issues with security at the entrance, affordable drinks and the air conditioning works! At the end of the night, I realized I had lost my purse and was convinced I was never going to find it. I was wrong and I owe a huge thanks for the bar staff for helping search for it.

How often can you find live entertainment, great DJs, fast and friendly bartenders, and the best damn chef prepared food all in one place? Come to the Nines hungry, eat some flat breads or the incredible cheese board, then dance those calories off all night with some of the most beautiful weirdos in the city.

The staff are the most unprofessional i have seen at a dive bar. Drink prices seem to vary depending on the guest and god forbid you dispute a charge. Will not be coming here again, better off at the Nylo Hotels rooftop lounge! **Always get a receipt, they dont always charge special prices!

The best club in deep ellum. It has amazing food, Head Chef Margie is magical with the menu. She changes it with the seasons and changes the menu accordingly. Its seriously the most impressive bar food youll find anywhere. Its not your mothers bar food.

Love the rooftop area of this place. The downstairs area is pretty small. I dont like the new "dance floor" area. Too small. I liked it better when it was Red Light Lounge. Other than that, its a chill spot to hang out for drinks and listen to music.

There really wasnt a crowd there was an upstairs that had this circular thing hanging from the ceiling so I thought something was going to happen with that but nothing ever came of it and the music was kind of EDM

I love this place! Awesome atmosphere, roof top, and overall good vibe. I got to sample the food they will be serving, made by a REAL CHEF, my god...I might move in. The couches are comfortable after all.

A very interesting bar, although I wish we had gotten to see the suspension. They have a lot of theme nights and very friendly staff. Parking is a nightmare in this area, so plan ahead.

This place is huge and in a great spot, the bartenders are generous, if you are. And the music is great. They have alternative events for those on dark side like me.

Cheap drinks and amazing view of skyline. Way better view then happiest hour and they have a DJ and a girl who hangs/spins from a ribbon on the balcony.

I was a nice to place to go to. If you like electronic music this place is cool. Not the "EDM" fans, just people who like to relax and enjoy music.

Music is very good and it has a serious base effect.. Drinks are priced resonably and good service.. Will definitely go there again..

Brian Seeger

Wow. What a horrific experience. Brunette bartender aggressive, unskilled, and just mean. Im being nice.

This place is hit or miss. Puts on entertaining shows and sets some weekends. Bartenders are cool.
