    The 9:30 Club is an awesome place to see a band perform. The club is small enough that you can see the action even if you are way in the back, but big enough to get a great, energetic vibe going with a pumped up crowd.

    There is a an open floor section, no seats, and two levels of balcony seating. My personal opinion is that the best view is from the top balcony section by the third level bar. Speaking of the bars, for a small club like this they really serve some great beers here. Sure you can get your bud and your amstel light, but you can also get a Cherry Lambic or a Chimay ($11!). Beer prices range from $4 a beer and up. They also have a kitchen for all your club cravings.

    But I digress, this place is all about the music. This club hosts big names (Marylin Manson) smaller names (Dogs Die in Hot Cars) and names I'm ashamed I went to the 9:30 Club to go see (Howie Day). haha. Sorry to any Howie Day fans out there, but it just wasn't my style. You know you're at the wrong show when the majority of the fans in the audience are being chaperoned by their parents.

    All in all the place is funky and fun. (The restroom doors have Barbie and Ken dolls in glass boxes to note men's or ladie's room). Oh, and I my last trip there I discovered that there is a basement level bar right below the club level. Dark, smokey, and great place to have drunken conversation.

    I guess it depends on who you're going to see play there. Pretty much anything goes - it's a club. I can't imagine a situation where you would be out of place in jeans and a T-shirt.

    Some of the best bands around come through this place. They have a good website that lists all upcoming shows.

    Anything goes...there was a guy draped in a Scottish St. Andrews flag for the Snow Patrol concert.

    9:30 Club: Killer Spot for Live Music...
  • By Dakuwan on February 8, 2004

  • The 9:30 club is a great spot to catch live music in the DC area. Ive made special trips just to catch shows here because the atmosphere is really chill and the lineups are stellar. My first show here was They Might Be Giants as an example of artists that pass through. On the upcoming shows board that night i saw music ranging from Sigur Ros to the latest hip hop acts.

    I dont take a trip to DC without checking their website for the current schedule.

    Whatever you feel like wearing. You'll find everyone from the tragically hip to the guys in suits.

    The 9:30 club is one of the best places to go if you are looking to see some great live bands. They showcase an extremely diverse group of performers ranging from G. love to Mos Def. They are located at 815 v st. in N.W. Washington D.C. at the intersection of 9th, V, and vermont st. Check out their website for all upcomming events.

    The dress code may vary depending on that evenings event. For the most part, there is no strick dress code, however backpack are not allowed and all purses ( and people for that matter) will be searched.
