NE Washington

Quick Take

This club (not actually a hotel, of course) was one of the first foundations of the H Street revival. It's now the area's sturdy centerpiece and continues to be one of the best places in the city to see bands before they get famous. (James Blake and Odd Future were two recent sold-out shows.) There's also a giant bar upstairs that hosts regular sweat-inducing DJ nights.

Our Review

What we love: The upstairs bar. The bar is a bit cheesy — the Flying V guitars on the ceiling and quasi-vintage posters give off a Hard Rock Cafe vibe — but it’s very spacious and the “private” rooms down the hall provide a nice place to relax when things get rowdy, as they frequently do.

What we don’t: Sold-out shows. When a show at the Hotel is sold out, it can get quite uncomfortable. It’s hard to move, it’s hard to breathe and, in turn, it’s hard to enjoy the performance.
