ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011The 9:30 club isn't so named because it has anything to do with any time of the day, but because of its original location, 930 F St. NW, which is now an office building. Womp-womp.
Check out their contests for free ticket giveaways on their listserv -- if you follow them on Facebook or Twitter and comment first, you can score some sold out seats!
Yianni KonstantopoulosOctober 8, 20109:30 Club is the best venue for a show in DC! Hands down! Get there early to get a good spot as its standing room only!
best place for music in the city. since you're so close to american ice company, stetsons and nellie's, be sure to pop into one for pre-gaming bevs.
Teri RushkaMay 13, 2013Great venue and great crowd. For my Philly friends, imagine a cross between UT and World Cafe Live (downstairs)
Shawn RiderJuly 26, 2009Go to a show with a good opener, and get there in time to hold down the bar stools on the balcony above the VIP area and within arm's reach of the bar. Ideal seated viewing spot.
Jen SFebruary 7, 2019Screw sold out nights unless you want to pay $50 for a listening party and not be able to even reach the bar. Sight lines? What sight lines? On a normal night, fine.
Chris Ann MatteoAugust 9, 2013Parking here is easier than you think! Buy parking with TicketFly. Lot is just north of the club (behind the building) on 9th Street
Always visit the backbar before the doors open. Also, try the house beer!
Matt PenniniAugust 16, 2010Bring a couple dollar bills if you plan on sitting in line outside during summer shows. There is a nice guy who will stroll down the sidewalk with a cart filled with bottles of water for a buck.
Jennifer KeeneMay 19, 2011There's no bad spot to hear shows at 9:30 Club. Just be sure to buy tickets directly from 9:30 - counterfeit operations abound on Craigslist.
The best indoor venue I have ever been to. Very intimate and not a bad spot in the place.
JB FabyNovember 15, 2011Really awesome music venues with a good mix of bands coming in, known or less known.
NO PHOTO/NO VIDEO policy sure doesn't look strict to me...... 9:30 is lax on hacks but still hassles pros. As camera tech gets higher on smart phones the rules will inevitably have to change....

EmmeGirls ModelsMarch 22, 2011Arrive early and stand upstairs at the famed 930 Club. EmmeGirls Models performed with Sebastian Bach, Dave Navarro, Billy Morrison, Matt Sorum, Chris Chaney & Stevie Stevens at Camp Freddy DC Read more
Garrett ClayJuly 11, 2011One of the hottest venue's around, great idea to check their shows online, and go see one. Read more
Grab a spot on the balcony early- You'll have room to move AND be able to see.
Stephani SOctober 14, 2010One of the best music venues in D.C. I saw Lupe Fiasco and VV Brown here. Standing room only so wear flats!
This is the best place to see a concert in DC, period. Wear comfortable shoes -- standing room only!
Never give up on a sold out show! There are always people getting rid of extras for face value an hour before the show. Not really surprising giving the flakiness level of this town! Read more
Jordan R.April 22, 2012When raining with long lines outside, wait and walk in at 815 totally dry and just push your way to the front.
Amanda HoffmanApril 6, 2012They changed their Backbar policy and claim it's never been a separate line. Except every other concert we've been to HAS been a separate line. BE CAREFUL!!!!!!
OurStageApril 7, 2011About 1,000 times bigger than the original 9:30, but great site lines and free cupcakes backstage if you're lucky.
Stacey MillerNovember 23, 2010Get there early to not have to fight your way through the crowd to the front of the stage. Pre-bands are always good.
Xy XXMay 14, 2016Make sure that there isn't another show playing the same night. If so, verify the time- 9:30 isn't ALWAYS 9:30
Stop by to visit the venue. Best place to see live music! Run by some great people and staff! Read more
Harley QuinnFebruary 28, 2011If you are feeling energenic, work your way to the middle of the floor and join in the mosh. Lots of jumping and bumping.
It's billboard's #1 club in america for a reason, folks. go there!
Get there early, hit the coffee bar upstairs and try one of the chocolate cupcakes ($3). Your mouth will thank you afterward.
