Tri-level hangout with basement bar, music stage & rooftop























"DC9’s fried pickle chips are thinly sliced and served with plenty of buttermilk ranch on the side." - Hannah Yasharoff

"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." - 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
"For indie rock fans, head to Shaw dive DC9 on certain Sundays to belt out all sorts of throwbacks. Karaoke.sexy also hosts at D.C.’s Looking Glass Lounge." - Adele Chapin
"I learned that DC9 will shut down for the season after this weekend as part of several D.C. bars choosing temporary winter closures." - Adele Chapin
