The Paradox, the sprawling dance club near M&T Bank Stadium, will close temporarily for renovations in January.

The club will close the third weekend in January for four to five weeks, said promoter Lisa Suit.

It plans on upgrading the sound system, DJ booth, and adding new seating, an outside deck, and a lounge area.

The club will still host parties until late January, including a recently announced dance marathon January 14.

The party is in honor of the 20th anniversary of Murk, the Miami house music production team that has had several hits on the Billboard dance charts. Murk's Ralph Falcon, Oscar G., and the Dox's Ultra Nate will perform.

The Paradox was a critic's pick on The Sun's list of the best bars in the city.
