History
DC9 was established in 2004 in at 1940 Ninth Street,
gay club, however the venue does attract a wide audience of customers through its variance in events.[4] DC9 hosts karaoke and dance parties.[5] In 2010, a man who had thrown a brick in the venue's window died after being restrained by five DC9 employees. After being initially charged with homicide, Metropolitan Police dropped all charges.[6][7][8] In 2018, DC9 began hosting pop-up bars.[9]
It contains a narrow
saloon bar with a digital jukebox on the ground floor. The upstairs is a double-wide concert room.[3] There is a glass-enclosed rooftop bar that opened in 2010.[1][10] DC9 has a no-phone policy at its DJ events and encourages people to check in the phones with their coats.[4]
