DC9 Nightclub

Great place to see a show or grab food and drinks. The updated sound system is great and the music space is never uncomfortably packed, despite how intimate the venue is. People are generally polite. Bartenders are friendly and drink prices are reasonable. The few booths near the back provide respite for the overworked or kind parents who shuttle their kids to shows. Rooftop bar is a great place to escape for a smoke or to catch up with friends after or in lieu of a show. Highly recommended.

Upon arriving at the DC9 I was Impressed by the classic style bar and rich ascetics. I entered the venue with my on phone tickets, unfortunately one of them was not processing. I was very frustrated and anxious- this was a sold out show. The owner Bill, handled the situation very genuinely and professionally, he helped navigate through my phone to retrieve the needed information, he called stubhub who weren’t able to fix their mistake. He honored my ticket, after helping me get a refund - he bought me a shot of whisky and ensured me DC9 was where people came to have a great time, and we did; a very memorable evening.
The third floor offered roof seating, with a view and great bar. The second floor was the primary venue very impressive, the intimate area offered a close up stage, great sound and lights, the show was also displayed on a projector and through TVs very wicked! Another full size bar with a great beer selection, and affordable craft drinks. I look forward to returning. Thank you Bill.

The music and atmosphere was great. We loved the live music and the vibe. When the music wasn't to our liking, we went up to the rooftop. Meeting our group of Washingtonians, we have a wonderful time there. Thanks for the wonderful photos and the exceptional service. Memorable experience!
