Am I the only one that thinks the Lizard Lounge sucks as a venue. Maybe it's the 17+ events, or maybe it's the horrendous looking Fire decorations, but after the Gabriel and Dresden show I swore the LL off. I thought Blue was a much better EDM venue.

Am I in the minority here??

LL > blue

not a fan of the 17yo crowd, but blue turns into a miserable sauna, and you can barely see the DJ. i kinda like the FIRE decor -- better than everything painted plain -um- blue.

I've seen some great shows at LL so I can't complain too much. I really like Seven but it's too small. I hope Karma is bigger and hopefully brings the headliners to Dallas.

lizard lounge's various rooms and rooftop make it more interesting as a venue, plus there's an actual FLOW to the design. blue makes me feel trapped.

I could go on and on about my likes/dislikes for the various Dallas clubs but I won't...I'll put it this way, I am ready for something new, a change.

I haven't checked out Karma yet but I have heard good things. It will be intersting to see how that pans out...hopefully something positive in the EDM culture will result.

Dallas deserves a proper 21+ venue. If you go to other big urban areas like Chicago, Seattle, Denver, Vegas, shit even Salt Lake City, each one has a great venue for regular dance events. I think Dallas is on par with these places and as such can handle a proper venue.



The talent that comes through the Lizard Lounge is phenomenal. But, I think the venue and the 17+ crowd detracts from the overall experience. Last time I was there, there were puddles of 17 and 18 year old kids everywhere, looked to me like they were just there to get caned, thats not the kind of shit I like to see when I go out. It looks like a couple of folks in this thread agree that a change would be welcomed.


But hey, opinions are like assholes............

as far as venues go, LL f-n sucks ass...way too many kids. been to a few shows at blue and i think its ok but i dont like where the dj booth is, i thought it was cool at atb when they had him spin on the elevated area in the back of the club instead of in the booth, WAY MORE INTERACTION THAT WAY!! seven is cool, but small. went 2 karma, thought it was nice to see something different, and yes the system bumps. hopefully addison will be able to keep that place alive long enough to see more headliners there. someone bring back the tunnel!!!

just my thoughts, please dont kill the messenger
