Disco Bar 9, affectionately known as El Nueve, was a trailblazing queer nightclub in Mexico City’s Zona Rosa that opened its doors on January 23, 1977. What began as an intimate French restaurant transformed into a vibrant cultural hotspot—uniting LGBTQ+ patrons, intellectuals, punkers, and artists under one roof. It became a creative incubator, hosting live music from future legends like Café Tacvba and Caifanes, avant‑garde performances, cabaret theater, film screenings, and spirited activism during the early years of AIDS.

 

Despite police pressure, extortion attempts, and episodic closures, El Nueve thrived from 1977 until its final night on December 6, 1989. Its inclusive energy, artistic experimentation, and bold defiance of conservative norms laid the foundation for Mexico City’s future LGBTQ+ nightlife and cultural movements.

I use Bella + Canvas 3001 Unisex tees for all of my designs. They are a soft and light cotton. If you love another brand, please let me know and I can see if I can source it. I can also do my designs on tanks, long sleeve tees, sweatshirts, hoodies and posters. Just reach out with any custom requests and I'll gladly help you out. I do like large prints, but if you want the design scaled down, please contact me before placing an order and I can send you some mock ups.
