Music, Dance, Cinema Places Map
Music, Dance, Cinema in District of Columbia:
9:30 Club
I suggest arriving at least an hour early for the shows. The line can get really long, and you don’t wanna miss any of the opening acts! Trust me, it's worth it.
If you’re planning to park, either use a rideshare or get there early to snag a spot! Parking around the club can be a hassle, at least I found it tough!
Echostage
If you're planning to go, try to arrive around 10 PM to beat the lines. I got there just after 11, and it took ages to get in, which totally killed my vibe.
Washington National Opera
I recommend checking for last-minute tickets, you can score some great deals! I got a fabulous seat at half price just a few hours before the show.
Flash
If you're looking for good music, ask the staff what night to come by. I accidentally went on a night I wasn't a fan of, and it totally killed my vibe!
My advice is to get there by 10 PM if you wanna avoid long lines. Trust me, I waited an hour just to get in and it was kinda frustrating.
Black Cat
I suggest hitting up Black Cat on a weeknight if you want to avoid heavy crowds. I went on a Friday and it was packed! Weekdays have a more chill vibe and you'll score easier access to the bar.
DC9 Nightclub
I think you should show up around 10 PM to catch the live music without fighting through the crowd. You'll get a good spot and enjoy the vibe!
I suggest checking the weather before heading out. If it's a nice night, the rooftop bar is a great place to chill, but it gets crowded quick!
Blues Alley
U Street Music Hall
John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
Check the calendar for free events or performances; I caught a fantastic free concert that I didn't know about until I checked the website before going.
If you're planning to see a performance, bring your own snacks! The food options there can be pricey, and having a snack saved me from spending a lot.
