DC9

This U Street neighborhood venue promises "Music for the 21st Century" and they deliver by bringing patrons a mix of both local and national acts playing a wide range of musical genres. With a laid back vibe, patrons can hang out at the basement bar, watch a performance on the music stage or head to the rooftop deck. There is limited seating because the venue encourages those attending concerts to stand up, dance or rock out to the music. There is no dress code so wear whatever you want. They don't have a coat check so be ready to hold one during the colder months. METRO: U Street/Cardozo.
