  • Edgy, creative live music by some of the best national bands and performers, in a straight stand-up-and-play atmosphere. The young crowds are boisterous and know their music.

  • Billing itself as a “music hall,” the Birchmere has continually presented the very top folk, country, blues, bluegrass, and, recently, swing bands. Good snacks and a full bar.

  • Marvelous drinks, food, and snacks in an intimate club setting featuring today’s best jazz and cabaret performers.

  • A relaxed bar with hundreds of brands of beer. They sponsor tastings and events.

  • A touch of the exotic – such as a hookah with apple-juice-soaked tobacco – but mainly a comfortable bar with live jazz, and exceptional snacks. Chi-cha is a kind of Latin American beverage.

  • The dance hall is packed with patrons working out to salsa, merengue, and tango music.

  • This vast warehouse draws crowds of serious partygoers. There is a rave on Friday nights, and a high-energy gay dance on Saturday.

  • The local establishment of the chain of comedy clubs books some outstanding talents. The restaurant serves a full menu.

  • This large club overlooking Washington Channel is the place to be for African-Americans and Latinos. It’s far from segregated: if you can dance, you’re welcome.
