Party Earth Review: The H Street Corridor – a mile-long stretch of H Street extending east from Union Station – has been the focus of a major redevelopment campaign since 2003, resulting in dozens of bars, acclaimed restaurants, and respectable music venues popping up along a stretch that was largely devastated by race riots in the 1960s. The eastern boundary of the Corridor is marked by the 60,000-square-foot Atlas Performing Arts Center, where four theaters and three dance studios welcome a steady stream of international films and eclectic performances. Tattooed hipsters quickly become avid regulars of the burlesque and erotic magic shows at the Red Palace, or rock out to the latest indie acts pounding away inside the Rock & Roll Hotel. At the H Street Country Club, gaggles of party-seeking girlfriends and laid-back young professionals flock to the DC-themed mini-golf, while Biergarten Haus attracts lovers of both beer and soccer. Foodies with a more discerning palate can make their way to the highly-acclaimed Granville Moore’s gastropub for signature mussels and fries, or grab a handcrafted specialty cocktail made with American spirits at Church & State. When the late-night munchies hit – and if the outdoor chef isn’t grilling on the patio at Little Miss Whiskey’s Golden Dollar – Taylor Gourmet serves up fat hoagies till 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, and Dangerously Delicious Pies dishes out enough sweet and savory options to quell any alcohol-fueled hankering. Though still a work in progress, the mix of edgy and exciting nightlife options along the H Street Corridor only continue to grow. ... read full review |

“Major construction on a trolley service that will run down H Street from Union Station is ongoing. Until it’s done, you’re looking at a twelve-block walk to most of the venues. Parking is usually pretty easy, however, and it’s a cheap cab ride from Union.”
