    Solid concert venue in a convenient location in DC. Parking is available on surrounding streets if…read moreyou arrive early enough. You can also pay for a parking pass through their website but the lot only opens up an hour beforehand so be sure to plan your evening with that in mind. We ended up parking on the street for only $3 since we arrived early to grab dinner nearby. The entry line was super long and literally went around the block but it moved surprisingly fast. Staff was friendly and helpful at the door. The inside was dark when we arrived and it would've been nice to have some house lights so people could find their way around the venue a little easier. The AC was cranking and the temp was comfortable. Upstairs has standing room and some bleachers which provides a good view with less of a crowd. Their VIP area looks nice and I'd be interested in splurging next time for a seat and a better view. There's bars downstairs and upstairs and even some food concessions. Getting out of the venue from the balcony was a bit stressful with only one way out. It makes you imagine what would happen if you needed to get out in a rush... other than that, it's a good space.

    I like how the upstairs level has tiered height stands so if you're standing behind the first row…read morethen you have a bit of a boost to be able to see behind someone's head. Love how this place is metro accessible so it's an easy commute without having to worry about parking. The line goes by quickly for bag check, scanning tickets, and checking IDs. This is a small intimate venue, so it's easy to get a good view of the performer!

    This was my very time at this event space and it definitely won't be my last. I have been wanting…read moreto come here for a few months. I was super impressed with this venue in so many ways. The inside set up with table seating was absolutely incredible. The sound of music and atmosphere gives high quality. The food and drinks were really good. We ordered and shared everything from lemon pepper wings, Bang Bang shrimp and Alfredo pasta with Salmon. I treated my mom to see one of her idols Regina Bell for her birthday. She absolutely loved everything about this mommy and daughter date night. We had so much fun. My only con was I had to flag down my waiter several times after our initial orders were placed which was a bit disappointing. The food and drinks are on the pricey side with tip and gratuity added on the bill. Other than that, we had a great experience and I will definitely love to return in the near future. Parking can be street parking or garage parking which ever is easiest.

    The concert was amazing. We had great seats. The server and manager were friendly, BUT my wife is…read moregluten free and they told her an overpriced salad was her only option. The food is wayyy overpriced for the quality received and my wife should be able to have a decent meal along with our drinks. They need to revamp the whole menu and hire more bartenders because once more people came, it took FOREVER to get our drinks. Once you get this straightened out, we will be back.

I've also seen: L7, anthrax, that guy who does "the cliffs of dover," black label society (yes, again... on new years eve)... shit... I'm sure there were others... The cool thing about the fillmore is that it's general admission, so the tickets won't cost you an arm... and they have amazing, wheelchair accessible balcony seats upstairs. The staff is super friendly and accomodating. And there are tons of places to eat, before the show, in the neighborhood. The fillmore is definitely one of my favorite concert venues.

    The Fillmore is an excellent venue for live music. Why I like it:…read more*The acoustics here are really good *The sightlines are decent, there are a few spots near the back that can be hard to see from during a sold out show but these can be avoided with some adjustments *Entering is quick and easy thanks to the number of staff they employ and the early communication of these staff members *Parking is nearby (and some nights free of charge). *The Fillmore has a great setup for merchandise and meeting the band without disrupting the flow of the current peformers *The bathroom being downstairs is also a plus as the lines, if there are any, won't feed out into the crowd like at some venues. Overall, this is a really good place to see a show.

MY FRIEND GOT ROOFIED. MY FRIEND GOT ROOFIED. MY FRIEND GOT ROOFIED. There was also very clearly some operation happening outside where "homeless people" that were clearly just grifters kept getting sent to try and hassle people at the front door. I know for a fact that these people weren't actually homeless - as a homeless person wouldn't have left as soon as I looked them in the eye and called them a fake, they would've just called me an asshole and moved on about tryna get by. The fact that people kept fucking off and replaced by new ones everytime I clocked the hustle means I am correct - there was a shakedown operation happening out front. All the while? There was only one security guard - and all he did was check ID's. I'm sure the dude would've done more if he was properly equipped though. Y'all sincerely need to get your shit together. That was fucking awful. If you are a woman, or empathetic - do not come to this establishment. Apparently you do not have a choice in the matter, you will be manipulated somehow.

Awesome seats (row 6 or FF, in center aisle) Downsides: it was so hot in there like uncomfortably warm. Rest of casino was fine. Seats are jammed together (think folding chair but attached to neighbors). Overall fun but I couldn't have survived much longer due to heat in there. (I heard a bunch of others near us complain)

    We attended our first and last concert at this venue. The Band Perry has to be one of the worst…read morelive shows we have attended. The venue is small and has terrible acoustics. The music was so loud it was almost impossible to understand any words of the songs. They began with the absolute worst rendition of Take Me Home Country Roads we have ever heard. They made it sound so sad and gloomy. We lived in Japan and heard the Japanese "sing" this song, which is one of their favorites, and they didn't sound this horrible. The seating is awful. The floor seating appears to be metal folding chairs with a cushion on the seat. They make the "cheap seats" to appear to be balcony type seating; however, they are not. We were told no one was to sit in the very front row, so I purchased seats in the second row so no one would be in front of us. Well, security allowed a bunch of drunks to come down and sit in those seats and disrupt our view and enjoyment. The cost of drinks and popcorn is outrageous. $4 for a bottle of water and $8 for a small bag of popcorn.

    Good old-school bar, Good food, Good people, Great music!…read more We love coming to The Morgan Inn for live music, especially rock and country. They have bands Thu-Sat, and jamming on Sun, and every other week it's open-mike on Wed! A few Saturdays ago, (Sep 2025), we got here at Morgan and Frederick just before the band started at 8 and lucked into one of the tables right up front. I'm guessing there's table seating for around 50, with around another 25 at the bar just to the side, and you can hear and see the band from there, too. There's a colorful fenced deck out back for another 40 or so, but the music might not reach. The wait staff is quick and attentive and friendly, and the drinks are strong. I got my usual jack and coke here, and we got a cranberry-vodka Cape Cod with a lime. They have all kinds of sandwiches, burgers, and salads, and we like the spinach salad because it's fresh with brightly flavored strawberries! Also sprinkled pecans and some crumbled feta cheese if you want. They are happy to adjust it as you like, so we say light on the feta plus a side of balsamic dressing :-). Zingy and tasty! I always always order something from their walleye-fish menu, on the wall by the bar if you dont see it in print. It's a light-flavored whitefish that's perfectly creamy and tender and bone-free, some of the best white fish there is! It's reminds me of whitefish i've had on the shores of the Chesapeake. I've had Morgan Inn's generous fried platter and generous sandwich, and this time we had dinner earlier so i saved room for their lightly-coated piping-hot crispy tender juicy six-or-so walleye bites. And another whiskey-coke from our fun waitress. We got a little blurry :-). We loved this evening's rowdy talented band, Noble Black (Karen, Dan, Gary, and Keith). Even though they play gigs all over the region, we hadn't heard this band before, and they really killed! Mostly hot classic rock, a few country classics, a few bluesy songs ones among those. They walked around with during the show with a live equalizer so there was good sound wherever we wandered! Each of the four musicians added some terrific licks of their own, and I dont know about you, but when the building starts to shake, we get up and dance! We gave their contact info to the place closest to where we live, hoping for an appearance there some time :-) A great evening of loud music, good food and drink, friendly staff, and good loud friendly folks :-) As always!
