Lonely Planet review for DC9
DC9 is as intimate as DC’s big-name venues get, and about as dive-y as well. Not that we’re complaining; there’s always a good edge on in this spot. Up-and-coming local bands, with an emphasis on indie rockers, play most nights of the week; when the live music finishes (often around 11pm) DJs keep the place spinning until about 3am. On the 2nd floor zodiac murals and diner booths set the mellow vibe; downstairs you’ll find a narrow shotgun bar that’s often packed wall to wall.
