With the age of the big and open superclubs past, Cleveland is seeing the return of more intimate spaces, rather than the warehouse-esque clubs of days past. Partners Tino Roncone and Michael Lame completely renovated and re-designed the space formerly occupied by Cloud 9 at 1299 W. 9th Street in Cleveland’s Warehouse District in May of 2007. It is now clad in black leathers with tones of gun metal grey and vivid burnt orange stained wall panels. From cocktails to music, in comfortable lounges and and custom-designed architecture, adorned with original graphic art, ANATOMY Nightclub | Ultralounge promises not only a more “civilized” nightlife in Cleveland, but also that creative, modern space to experience it in.
11 flat-panel video screens on the first floor are partnered with the finest EAW Avalon sound system, plus an Iridium Intelligent lightning system pulsing in the sheer and intimate space delivering the right mix of dance club and lounge experience. Smoker-friendly outdoor patios on both floors of ANATOMY Nightclub | Ultralounge enable customers to enjoy a night outdoors on W 9th Street. An open and versatile space welcomes Corporate Events, Celebrations, Private Parties and Office Happy Hour Events. Cocktails are generous and reasonably market priced, and the music represents the diversity of Cleveland, focusing primarily on mainstream mash-up dance, house music, hip-hop and more. A Private Event Room with a “California Veranda” look and feel on the second floor of the club offers a unique indoor/outdoor space for business receptions, special events and private parties. The space includes many of the multi-media amenities that tech-savvy business professionals look for including flat screens, audio equipment, computer integration and comfortable seating.
“Downtown Cleveland is the identity of the whole region, and the more we can do to make it better and livelier,the more the region will grow,” says Tino, and West 9th Street is “a great new neighborhood and clearly the epicenter of downtown living,” providing a host of services for urban residents including cutting edge clothing shops, exciting new condos, Constantino’s Market and other nightlife establishments.
