9:30 Club Review

Tip from Jonah:

“An unpublished Happy Hour in the BackBar allows you to enjoy some discounted brews before the show and beat the line outside. An entrance on 9th Street opens one hour before the club does.”

The Scene

Often touted as the best place to catch a concert in the city, 9:30 Club consistently packs its 1,200-capacity hall by hosting shows ranging from big-name acts and DJs to up-and-comers, noise bands, and everything in between.

Crowd

Varies depending on the show, but can range from ravers with glow sticks to hardcore punks, alterna-types, and mellow acoustic fans. All ages, though mostly 18 to late 30s.

Entertainment/Music

Live music every night. See website for schedule and show times.

Food/Miscellaneous

Vegetarian-friendly menu of bar food and sandwiches, including meat-free meatball subs, wraps, and chicken breast melts. Happy Hour daily at BackBar one hour before the club opens.

Prices

Cover charge varies, usually $15–$40. Appetizers and small bites $5–$13, sandwiches $5–$8, entrées $14–$22. Beer $6–$8, wine $7/glass, cocktails $7+.

Dress

Comfortable: jeans, sneakers, graphic t-shirts, casual dresses. Some shows do not allow spiked jewelry, chains, and so on.

Hot Nights/When to Go

Musical tastes will always dictate the hottest nights to attend.
