The must-go-to bar to see reputable indie bands. Three bars, two stages, and a vegan-friendly cafe. You sorely lack credibility if you do not come here at least once when in DC. Thats like not going to Graceland when you're in Memphis, man!

Checked out Wolfmother here a few years back. It still holds up as one of the top 3 rock shows ever.

I saw Jens Lekman here a few months ago. One of the best shows I've ever attended. A more intimate feeling than 9:30, with some very big names.
