Many of us will remember the closure of Lizard Lounge earlier this summer, kissing goodbye to every Taylor Tuesday that now remain nothing but a memory. Good news for some (less great for others) is that Lizard Lounge is making a comeback, and just in the nick of time for freshers’ week.
Lizard Lounge, for better or for worse, had spanned a lifetime of almost thirty years. Now, following suit to its next-door-neighbour, Gravity, the club shut its doors in early July with a sombre Instagram post that marked ‘the end of an era’.
Now, two Bristol-based events companies, Dazed Muzic and Lost Track of Time, are taking it into their own hands to revamp and renew the legacy of Lizard Lounge by completely redesigning the look and sound of the notoriously cheesy nightclub.
All of this refurbishment will come together under the new name, Sixty Six, a homage to its address on Queens Road, which is displayed on its front door.
The venue’s optimal location, nestled neatly in the bustling Triangle, is not lost on the usurpers of the club. Looking to transform it into a ‘state-of-the-art dance music venue’, the venue’s two main events will take place each weekend.
Lost Track of Time introduce ‘Off Record’, Friday’s house and garage night, after which Dazed Muzic will take over on Saturdays to give us ‘Dazed Disco’, which does exactly what is says on the tin: house and disco classics to keep you going straight into Sunday morning.

Ticketed launch parties are set to take off on the 19th and 20th of September. Expect house, disco, and an alarming number of freshers pestering you for what course and accommodation you're in.
