Despite the name, you won't find lounge lizards holed up at this eclectic, high-energy club, where the weekend calendar depends on who's manning the DJ booth. One Friday, urban and hip-hop may hold sway over dance-floor denizens; the following Sunday, the lounge may host a fetish ball. Indeed, all genres of music get the limelight. Goth, classic industrial, R&B, rock – if you're into it, Lizard Lounge is the place for you! And if the action inside gets too heavy, a rooftop deck is perfect for catching a quick breath.

Finally, Level Heaven, awash in white, is a sleek aerie that boasts its own DJs, an angelic waitstaff, and an accommodating circular bar. Higher even than Heaven is an exclusive mezzanine bar known as Upper Heaven – its tables must be reserved in advance.

Terrific draft and well specials accompany events, and there's no doubt that you'll spend some interesting time in the mineshaft. 2009 (Nightlife - Dance Clubs) 10580 N Stemmons Fwy, Dallas  TX  75220 • 214-654-9595 Distance: ~8.06 mi User Rating: 8 / 10         Description: NORTHWEST DALLAS.
