Great rock and roll vibe and great sound system. Also shout out to the bar tender who gave me a discount for being bullet club it was too sweet!!!!
The Brew NoobAugust 10, 2015
Above the music venue on the ground floor is a long bar on the top floor, with an excellent selection of craft beer on draft and bottles, so bring your friends who like to dance and drink!

I love everything about this place. Great intimate venue & also great place to grab drinks on the weekend.

One of our favorite venues in DC! Get a drink in the Presidential Suite and say hey to our girl Faith if she's around!
David MeyersMarch 24, 2019
three floors. so if you go with people and want to do something else you can get away from the band. a lot of cool first stops on tours.

Shittiest music venue in D.C. It's usually too crowded, the setup makes it hard to see the stage, and the security staff is often rude. I've been to good shows here, but they'd be better at Black Cat.

Hilarious excuse for a performance venue...beyond the first 2 rows you will have a great view of the shirts the people in front of you wore that day.
BethAugust 14, 2014
It was a little intimidating walking into the long all black main stage area but once the show began...It was amazing to be that close to the band!

The new roof deck is open, but contains few nude sunbathers, and even less of them are eating waffles- as advertised. Still worth it, though, as the sound guy is cheerful, and the bouncers are polite.

Large venue, with great themes, rent out your own room, or party in the main rooms. This place always has a changing theme of the night, everything from Air Guitar Contest to Famous DJ appearances

Great venue that serves good food and even better music and entertainment
Mark SmithMarch 23, 2012
Check out the Spelling Buzz at 8 on Fridays - take one adult spelling bee, add drinking, and watch the carnage :-)

The roof top bar is nicely laid out and they even have a cornhole game. Please don't tell the djs its your birthday, it makes you look immature.

Great bartenders. Good, clear sound system.
Victoria MerriweatherJuly 7, 2012
Great venue to hear good bands. Awesome sitting rooms on the 2nd floor to chill, and rooftop has the best bartenders.
Tyler HastingsOctober 23, 2014
Very small and intimate venue. Passionate crowd. Good place for a rock show. Crowd-surfing happens here.

Check out the second floor. Best way to describe it would be the inside of an abandoned British rockstar's mansion.
Mikey ZApril 18, 2015
They have food here now! Get the veggie burger, it's delicious and a great deal.

All ages and they give opportunities to local bands.

The adventurous owners debuted this rooftop deck in mid-November 2011, where nooks and crannies abound for seating next to their many heaters.
The FeastJune 9, 2011
The H Street club draws good bands, but is small and can get cramped. For concerts, make sure to get there plenty early for a spot up front.

An H St. classic only gets better...sound improved? Roof deck!

Some bands are just meant to play here. Very intimate (read: cramped).
MazdaOctober 26, 2010
The sound and thrill of live performance reverberates throughout the ground floor, while themed rooms are, available (for a small fee) for the night.

Surprisingly delicious food for it's dive bar atmosphere
Pat GradySeptember 10, 2013
Grimy rock club with a piss trough and posters of RATT on the wall. Wtf else do you need?
Laura G AdamsSeptember 25, 2011
If you want to just get out and dance, put this place on your to-do list. Lots of fun and great music.

Jimmy is lord of the rooftop bar on Saturdays. Ask him for a cinnamon toast crunch.
Stephanie PetersonOctober 9, 2012
Great intimate venue! It felt like I was really a part of the show.

Check out the rooftop after the show!

There's a Tornado foosball table in the game room upstairs. It's actually in pretty decent condition, but needs some actual foosballs. Will probably gift 'em with some on my next visit.

Three floors of diverse music.
NOM NOM BorisJuly 27, 2012
Stop by for some three floors worth of fun and great music!
Elise SweeneyMay 6, 2012
STAY AWAY from the "red rum" frozen drinks on the roof - I've never been sicker in my life after drinking 3 drinks!

Doors inevitably open late for shows. Kill time at the bar upstairs.
Audrey AFebruary 15, 2011
Haven't been for a show yet, but the upstairs bar is quite loud and gets pretty crowded. Navigating through the halls into the sitting rooms can get difficult.

Cool place to meet your favorite bands after the show!
Thomas PruittAugust 7, 2012
Ok place with solid bartenders. Loads of not-quite hipsters and nerdy guys trying to hook up with hipster women (who don't come here), though.
