ITI Audio sound system. The system is processed with a BSS Soundweb London BLU-160 and an XTA DP226, and the subwoofer amplification is handled by Martin Audio MA9.6K and MA12K.

Attn u hall patrons. 1. Stop talking and carrying on drunk conversations with your friends while a band/dj is playing. 2. If you have to use your phone, can you turn the brightness down? :-)

I didn't know this place had live music. I saw the Gaslight Anthem here which happens to be my favorite band and it was awesome. Great place for live music.

With it's 500-person capacity, U Street Music Hall is one of DC's best dance clubs and the fact that they serve-up 100 Proof Smirnoff Espresso shots says it all!

Techno, dubstep, and underground house are abundant as well as live acts featuring indie, punk, samba, rap, and big band. U-Hall is home to the local music craze known as moombahton. Read more

Surprised to find it’s a basement + the security staff will take it seriously when an idiot punches you. That’s appreciated!

Moombahton is your most unique offering here where a couple of the founders really bridged the genre and built the party through the last 8 years.

Quite possibly the best dance club in America. Check their schedules for weekly listings. There is something for everyone here.

Great sound system and one of the best venues in the area for that heavy bass #getlow

They often squeeze in two shows in a night so your show ends up being awkwardly early or awkwardly late.

Great sound system! The venue provides free water at the front left hand corner near the bar!

The city's best dance club also has an adventurous menu: Try the decadent Jelly Belly, house-cured pork belly sandwiched between two glazed donuts.

One of my favorite clubs ever - it's dark but not totally dingy and draw great crowds.

With a 1,200-square-foot, cork-cushioned dance-floor & a capacity for 300 people, DJs Will Eastman & Jesse Tittsworth designed their new basement club for one thing & one thing only: maximum movement. Read more

Great sound system and the best drink prices in DC. Beware of the occasional lost, meandering frat boys though...

People love the sound system here, but you will love having ear plugs.

There's almost always an exciting event offering weekdays and weekends alike. Have your photo ID ready and try to take the metro when possible to avoid the parking mess.

Great venue to see a show - small with decent acoustics.

One of the best gems of D.C. music culture.

Get there in time for doors for shows. It gets crowded really quickly.

Weakest pours of whiskey I've ever seen in my life.

A great place to see your favorite band. The stage is very close to the audience. Add your name to the FB list to avoid covers!

Go here to dance the night away. Don't even think about wearing heels - theres not a lot of places to sit and you shouldn't be sitting down anyways!

Standing room only so get there early and stand up front. No coat check either.
