Black Cat

It was a great fun place to visit. Amazing staff and great music! The night we went they were throwing an art show along side a costume contest. I wish I recorded toward the end that is when everyone lined up with their costumes.

saw Tortoise that night. while mainly SRO we got seats off to the side. the sound was perfectly mixed. they bring a great lineup to the area.

I saw Everything, Everything here. The band let me down by not playing their most famous song, but the venue was small and the speakers were huge. There was quite the line for a relatively obscure band, so show up early or nudge to get close!

Had an awesome time. Love the updates, took my son and my nephew to their first show to see the slackers and mustard plug. Absolutely amazing. Had a great time. 10 out of 10 definitely would go again.

Basic amenities with focus on the music! Photo while awaiting the Codeine show. Nice floor tiles.

Great spot to see a show, lots of bands play here before they play the 9:30 club, Anthem, etc.

Love the atmosphere here. Amazing venue and easy to get to being so close to the metro.

Great experience! Nice smaller venue, with a wide variety of bands

Really happy to have finally checked this place out after living here for 10 years. Awesome venue. Sound was awesome. Ordered a double bourbon and ginger ale and it did me well for the while Show. Saw Nikki Lane and Drayton Farley.

There was a young lady who served us at the bar during the Mae show on Sept 21, 2023. I forget her name, but she was the only female behind the bar (forgive me for assuming). We were the oldest folks in the joint, but she provided beers and shots, comedic relief, and a really fun time. We don't get out as much as we used to, but she made our night much better. Thanks for the sweet time, you little devil. Big Caution...we will be back!!!!! 😍

Great venue for live music. I've seen well over 25 shows here, seeing such artists as Mudhoney, Blitzen Trapper, Ex Hex, the Toadies, and Local H (who sucked). They have daily Happy Hour drink specials and some pretty kickass vegan nachos.

performed there with my band, The Missing Peace (check us out) and the staff was extremely nice to us and treated us with utmost respect despite opening for a huge artist. Also music venues normally carry a stigma of being stingy with their alcohol in their drinks but Black Cat served great tasting, well mixed drinks - best venue i’ve experienced in the DMV area!

First time visiting the place. Came for performance bt Adore Delano. The show was great! The venue was perfect, friendly staff, clean, and much larger than I expected. I really enjoyed my time there.

Love this venue, always a fantastic show, great people, good drinks, always feel super safe here. Always looking forward the the next show!

My partner and I went to "Indie Sleaze Night Dance Party" recently and it was super fun. Great shows. Great bar and staff. Love Black at DC

Great venue to see musicians of all sizes. From small, local bands to well-known folks, they all play here. Bar is reasonably priced, staff good.

Love this place. Been going here for 25 years. May be the best venue from an audience perspective in DC and surrounds.

Popped in here randomly while visiting from out of town. All the staff were incredibly friendly and willing to drop knowledge on where else to visit. They had BRIDE OF PINBOT which is one of my favorite machines. And there were credits so you know we played for an hour. Went to a hip hop show and a 2000s dance party so the vibe was well rounded.

Nice venue!

Great venue for an awesome show. Nada Surf crushed it. Cool venue, affordable beer and merchandise, good vibe.
