"This multi-level Shaw club is known for its high-quality musical acts and DJ-led parties. It’s also got a kitchen turning out items like burgers, shrimp po’ boys, and fried pickles until as late as 11 p.m. on weekends. The rooftop bar is a good location to grab a craft beer or mixed drink with views of U Street and the surrounding area." - Tierney Plumb, Travis Mitchell

"The film community will be divided on what to watch first on July 21: Barbie, or the Christopher Nolan-directed thriller, Oppenheimer. At DC9, attendees can have the best of both worlds with a Barbenheimer party. Expect food and drink deals for anyone dressed in costume to celebrate the double-header premiere. The first 50 guests enter for free and the first 100 will be gifted a rose-colored glass." - Vinciane Ngomsi

Fun, unique and very intimate venue. Excellent sound, system and techs. Live music! Nice selection of beer. Drinks were made well and the bartender was working hard. The employee stamping hands at the front door was very nice and acknowledged us warmly as we entered and exited, it was very appreciated. According to the schedule they have live acts regularly. Thank You to the staff!!!

Really cool club/ music venue! Love that there are 3 floors to enjoy. The bartenders and staff were very friendly. The rooftop bar was a perfect place to enjoy an appetizer before the show I was there for. The bar on the first floor is cute and clean with plenty of seating. The 2nd floor, though, was where the action was. Thought the barn door was a unique touch- wouldn't have known anything was there if I didn't see someone going in/ out before the event started! The sound during the show was better than expected for a small club! Really interesting and intimate venue to catch live music in.

I am hesitant to attend shows at DC9 because of their poor public health practices. By not offering refunds for shows even for people with documented COVID-19 infections or other illnesses, they create a financial incentive for people who are sick to attend anyways and risk exposing other patrons. This is compounded by the crowded, poorly ventilated space. I urge them to modernize their cancellation policies to make their venue inclusive of immunocompromised and otherwise disease-cautious individuals, and will update this review when they do so.

Omg the garlic fries are addictive and the fried pickles are phenomenal. Staff is friendly and straight forward. Rooftop seating for a great breeze. Concerts and events. Free entry to bar, and food was well priced. What is NOT to love!!!

Great intimate show space to see smaller up and coming bands ... only hold about 150 people - so sold out shows are tight. Staff is super friendly. Beer is cold. Sound is good. What more could a music fan ask for Check set times though. Sometime shows are early with dance parties afterwards ...

they book the best rappers and shows. they should increase the sold out ticket count tho. the crowd is always too small. which is i guess a good problem to have

Food is ridiculously priced- but the main draw is the artists they hold the venue for. The layout is pretty awkward, leaving artists having to push through crowds to get on stage and trapped when the set ends, and the stage is at a weird angle. Blessed be that they host good artists
