NFT: Washington DC Live Music

NJGiantFan84 : 6/19/2022 11:39 am
I’m headed down to DC for work on my own for a week in July. I’m hoping to find a good bar/restaurant to go listen to a live band a few nights while I’m there. I dont care about menu or alcohol selection, just wanna hear some good musicians. Nothing crazy, just looking for a solid cover band to entertain and pass the time.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

Awesome, thank you! I appreciate it!
there's an area called "The Wharf"

Wife and I saw Bright Eyes at a place there called The Anthem. More of a "venue" than a bar so probably not what you're looking for. But I'm pretty sure the area has free outdoor shows and there are bars with bands as well and restaurants. A general nightlife sort of place.

a ton of great acts go through there. You should check who's playing when you're in town.

Also down there is Pearl Street Warehouse - I've never been so can't speak to it, but they've got live music most nights.

the Anthem and 930 club are not "bars," they are concert venues. The Anthem, located on the water at l'enfant plaza is a great place to see a show. The Birchmere in Virginia is also, but again, a concert venue (but a small one) more than a bar. The Hamilton Live is a great place to check out.... For me the best small music venue/bar is Jannin Java in Vienna.
