The Blue Banana Sports & Rock Bar Love the atmosphere at Blue Banana. The owners really try to make everyone feel welcome and they do a great job picking bands and performers.

9:30 Club for headlining acts. Jojo Restaurant and Bar for danceable funk and soul on the weekends. Bukom Cafe for the best house reggae band.

There's always the 9:30 Club and the Rock & Roll Hotel, of course. But there are some really great jazz places centered around Logan/14th/U Street. Looking forward to checking out the Carter Barron Amphitheatre - I hear there's cheap symphonies, etc. toward the end of the season.
