Party Earth Review: 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. Long before the door opens, eager audiophiles line up outside the brick façade and unmarked door, with each night’s crowd of concertgoers reflecting the venue’s ever-changing performance calendar. Seating options are limited at the club, so early birds score a quick cocktail at one of the two bars before securing a spot on the open floor in front of the stage, or dart upstairs for dibs on the handful of risers that line the horseshoe balcony. A third bar on the second level keeps the crowd’s thirst in check and regulars know that the few precious barstools provide great views as well as quick access to another round. Parents, meanwhile, make sure their wards are safely settled during all-ages shows before escaping to the BackBar downstairs, a fourth watering hole where ample seating and soundproof walls keep Dad from griping about the quality of music these days. Whether for high-energy dance shows, death metal mosh pits, or mellow country bands, live music lovers in DC know that 9:30 is always a good time. ... read full review |

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“An unpublished Happy Hour in the BackBar allows you to enjoy some discounted brews before the show and beat the line outside.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.”
