our two bars!
High above the two other floors of DC9 sits a great secret roof deck and like
the first floor jukebox bar, it is open seven nights a week. While the second
floor of this unpretentious nightclub/bar hosts national and local bands, or
pumps live DJs most nights of the week, the roof gives panoramic city views
and a cool breeze even if you’re not here for the show. Plenty of seating with
tables and a full service bar with the full menu available sit atop DC9. The
simple and classic menu boasts tasty burgers (veggie, too) that keep people
coming back. So, pop in for a beer, the view, a show, a burger, some weekend
people watching, and feel the real that is DC9. Smoking permitted on the roof
deck, of course.
