Madam's Organ Blues Bar Bar / Live Music Venue / Restaurant

Adams Morgan, Washington, DC –

Live music nightly, a full menu of soul food, beers in mason jars, and a crowd as diverse as the United Nations are just a few of the reasons all three floors of Madam’s Organ Blues Bar fill up throughout the week.

Everyone from frat boys to skinny-jeaned jazz lovers crowds this unapologetically rowdy institution, easily recognized by a giant outdoor mural of its buxom redheaded mascot.

The ground floor, whose walls are covered in kitschy finds ranging from street signs to old instruments, features a low stage, open dance area, two bars, and an elevated dining room.

Bands kick off with a mix of blues, funk, and rock that quickly stirs the uninhibited masses into an epic, booty-shaking frenzy, while bartenders sling Rolling Rocks to visiting politicians, artists, and familiar regulars alike.

The second level boasts a free pool table, several TVs, and a small balcony where sweaty revelers can temporarily escape the hustle and bustle downstairs, or continue up through nostalgic saloon doors to the less crowded third floor bar. Also up there is the rooftop deck, which features not only another watering hole, but also hordes of college kids baying and burping into the night air.

For a raucous night of food, music, and dancing, Madam’s Organ rarely disappoints…and those it does rarely remember it anyway.
