Andreas EhnApril 3, 2014ITI Audio sound system. The system is processed with a BSS Soundweb London BLU-160 and an XTA DP226, and the subwoofer amplification is handled by Martin Audio MA9.6K and MA12K.
Attn u hall patrons. 1. Stop talking and carrying on drunk conversations with your friends while a band/dj is playing. 2. If you have to use your phone, can you turn the brightness down? :-)
TheConcertManJuly 26, 2012I didn't know this place had live music. I saw the Gaslight Anthem here which happens to be my favorite band and it was awesome. Great place for live music.
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014Techno, dubstep, and underground house are abundant as well as live acts featuring indie, punk, samba, rap, and big band. U-Hall is home to the local music craze known as moombahton. Read more
Jen SFebruary 7, 2019Surprised to find it’s a basement + the security staff will take it seriously when an idiot punches you. That’s appreciated!
BROADSApril 29, 2013With it's 500-person capacity, U Street Music Hall is one of DC's best dance clubs and the fact that they serve-up 100 Proof Smirnoff Espresso shots says it all!
Quite possibly the best dance club in America. Check their schedules for weekly listings. There is something for everyone here.- Joey RubinOctober 31, 2015Moombahton is your most unique offering here where a couple of the founders really bridged the genre and built the party through the last 8 years.
Maria FemianoOctober 6, 2017Great sound system and one of the best venues in the area for that heavy bass #getlow
This is going to be an awesome night! Deep, vocal, soulful house. Music made for dancing!!!👍💃
They often squeeze in two shows in a night so your show ends up being awkwardly early or awkwardly late.
Kirk StateMay 11, 2013Nice petite place for a personal performance by your favorite artist or dj. They have very very nice drink selection.
The FeastJune 9, 2011The city's best dance club also has an adventurous menu: Try the decadent Jelly Belly, house-cured pork belly sandwiched between two glazed donuts.
Marcus JonesFebruary 21, 2012There's almost always an exciting event offering weekdays and weekends alike. Have your photo ID ready and try to take the metro when possible to avoid the parking mess.
Great sound system! The venue provides free water at the front left hand corner near the bar!
Alex DobyanDecember 3, 2014One of my favorite clubs ever - it's dark but not totally dingy and draw great crowds.
Caroleen WilkesApril 2, 2012Known for live performances, music, and dancing. If you are looking for a nightlife option...here you go!
People love the sound system here, but you will love having ear plugs.
Great sound system and the best drink prices in DC. Beware of the occasional lost, meandering frat boys though...
BrandonAugust 13, 2010A great place to see your favorite band. The stage is very close to the audience. Add your name to the FB list to avoid covers!
- Taking the metro? Leave through the closer 10th St exit, not the 13th St one.
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011Duke Ellington grew up on and first played jazz on U Street, which used to be known as "Black Broadway".
WayneMan ComedyOctober 24, 2010You have to try their 'Kimchi Hot Dog' - amazing and addictive! Great music and always a great time!
all around great vibe! dance your heart out, and make sure you tip the fantastic bartenders!
Make ire to tip your bartenders. Especially cos the dranks is so cheap!!
Mass PotentialNovember 21, 2012Standing room only so get there early and stand up front. No coat check either.
Andrew MochJune 26, 2010Awesome bass. As heard by a homeless man outside, "you can feel the bass through the sidewalk through the ground and concrete"
Go here to dance the night away. Don't even think about wearing heels - theres not a lot of places to sit and you shouldn't be sitting down anyways!
kat clementSeptember 18, 2011Don't take photos. The signs aren't obvious, but the bounder will bruise your ribs to show you
Dont try and steal a sip of your friends alcoholic bev when you're underage. Very strict here. You will get kicked out.
