Got the crab cakes; food was okay, but the venue itself really stole the show! Honestly, it's…read moreprobably my favorite concert venue I've ever been to. The space feels so intimate, which makes the whole experience more personal and memorable compared to larger, more crowded venues. The atmosphere was great from start to finish, and everything felt well-organized. The service was also a highlight, our server was incredibly sweet, attentive, and made us feel really comfortable throughout the night. Even though the food was just alright, the overall experience more than made up for it. Between the vibe, the quality of the show, and the excellent service, it's definitely a place I'd come back to again and recommend to others looking for a unique night out/date night!

Blues Alley has maintained their street cred after all these years as being one of the best places…read morein town to catch a live jazz performance. I enjoyed the crab cake with a Caesar salad. The cocktails were veteran made and solid. The dining room is intimate, adding to the connection of the artists and the show. Deborah Bond dropped her new album Amber Dust, a true R&B artist keeping the tradition of the music well and alive. She hosted a listening party show with a customized cocktail menu with drinks named after her latest album! The show was amazing and the sound was clear. Although the menu is a bit limited I enjoyed my crab cakes, which had no filler. Oh and be sure to save yourself time and park in the parking garage across from the alley. This is an amazing little space with big names. Every time I've come here I've always met with the artists after the show. So if you're a super fan and your favorite artist is performing here, GO!

What an absolutely wonderful experience. We came here for my boyfriend's birthday dinner. Service…read morewas a 10/10. Super accommodating and kind all the way from the door, to the band, to our servers. We had reservations and were sat by the door which typically is totally okay except it was freezing cold this weekend so we were accommodated further into the room for some warmth as soon as a table opened up. I tipped the band and slid a note to the MC which gave the sweetest shoutout to my partner and the band played a happy birthday tune. To our surprise, the two tables next to us were also celebrating birthdays which added to the overall great vibes. The food was very pleasant and the drinks were awesome and served quickly. They gave us a free birthday dessert which happened to be one we were considering ordering !!! Thank you guys for such a beautiful night.

We packed in a lot of stops on a Friday before the winter storm…read more Wanting to claim the title for funnest human, my friend decided to take me to Jojo Restaurant for Jazz music after dinner. Sweet stuff! Okay FUN! Quaint restaurant off of U St, I most definitely had not realized this existed. We had reservations and my date requested the first table so we were front row (more like first table). We walked in, and there was our table with the reserved sign. A trio of musicians played their hearts out. As a lover of music, I appreciated this. Drinks were great! Very attentive workers. Ambiance : it's a D.C. hidden gem with no frills. Very NYC. Come glam, come as you are, you'll fit in! Would recommend! Tip: Don't forget to Tip! No pun intended! Bring cash!

I had a lovely time at the Birchmere. It's such a quaint venue. I love that they have a lounge that…read moreincludes a bar area outside the main theater for those that arrive early. I don't mind the community seating, but I do prefer assigned seats. It would be nice if they sold seats based on the location of the table. A lot of people don't have time to get there 2 hours before a show to get a ticket number. Especially for a show on a weekday. The parking was full when I arrived at 7:15 for a 7:30 show. However, they conveniently provided extra parking across the street at St. Rita's. The sound was great. Jeffrey Osborne sounded amazing. He even walked through the theater a couple of times. It was a good time. I didn't try the food, but people seemed to enjoy it. My table had chicken fingers and the wing baskets. They said it was good. Overall, I would recommend this venue for an intimate experience. It's a bit dated but that adds to the charm.

I have been going to the Birchmere for decades. The food is much improved. Really decent portions…read moreof house made comfort foods. The service is usually excellent. Look around at the core of servers, food runners and happy people. The beer list is outstanding. The entertainment is always good-sometimes AMAZING. Robert Cray, Trombone Shorty, Keb Mo, Taj Mahal et Al. Get there early, get a number and you may very well be literally Front Row! Only buy tickets at the venue. Ticketmaster is the only safe option. But I believe in supporting venues not thieving mega corporate bandits.
