Talk:Washington, D.C./Near Northeast

Closed listings

This listing was erroneously placed in Capitol Hill, and I was about to move it here until I looked at their website which indicates that they are temporarily closed. I'll leave it here until they reopen, most likely in a space outside of this district. Eco84 (talk) 18:59, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

• HR-57, 816 H St NE, ☏ +1 202 667-3700, jazz@hr57.org. Tu-Th 8PM-midnight, F-Sa 9PM-1AM. Rightfully included in Down Beat Jazz's list of the world's 100 greatest jazz venues, HR-57 is one of both the coolest and the most eccentric venues in the city for live music. You won't find touring musicians headlining on stage here—the focus is on its jam sessions with the aim of really promoting the growth of D.C.'s local jazz scene. The popular poetry/spoken word jams take over on Tuesday nights. Covers are so low that the place struggles to stay afloat. The strange name comes from a resolution passed in the US House of Representatives declaring jazz a national treasure. It's a large space with couches and chess tables further back from the stage if you want to chat without shouting. Food is limited to a small soul food menu and lemonade, with a BYOB policy that neighborhood regulars have taken to heart. Cover: $5-10.
