Nondescript from the outside, tucked away in the corner of a suburban strip mall, this unique venue will make you feel good again about the concert experience. Independently run and showcasing a lot of independent acts, serving drinks and light food fare that won't break the bank while you're tapping your feet. No crazy bouncers and security everywhere in your face!

In reality this place does not even deserve a half star. Horrible customer service. Then they don't know people ages. I asked the bounce man don't you know your age. He said we Idea everyone. I said I passed that age more than 2 decades ago. Then I get ginger Ale and refill 3 times. then my friend had an emergency so I had to leave early and that stupid bouncer comes after me no alcohol outside I said man this is ginger ale and at least 2 of the times that I got refill you were there and saw me getting refill. Don' t you know your drinks. Then Manager comes and he is even more stupid. I call the police on them because I did not want them to be aggressive. I told the officer do I look below 21. I am at least double that age. I don' t drink and I can't even drink. I came for the music. They said they don't want you on their property. I said I am not planning to stay and in fact I tell my friends not to come and the ones that perform not to perform here. These people are bad businessmen and don't care for their customers.

Cool smaller venue in the DMV area. They get a nice range of local acts as well as some more well-known names in the indie scene. It's one of the most intimate venues in the area and what I can really appreciate is how cheap the drink prices are here compared to other venues I've been to! However, what holds this place back from being great is that 2 of the 3 times I've been here the sound mixing has been terrible to the point you couldn't even hear the vocals! If they could get better sound mixers than this place would easily be a 4!

Went there for the jams, passed up the java for booze instead. The dim lighting, music, and decor was reminiscent of my high school days setting up for coffeehouse where local bands would play, we'd decorate with holiday lights, set up board games, and sell snacks - good times. Jammin Java is a small venue so we got a good view of the bands. We went to see Various Cruelties - decent band and cool accents too. Afterward, we had the opportunity to meet the members and garner autographs. It was pretty neat experience and at the low cost of $10 or $13 a ticket, will definitely visit the place again.

First timers here and we absolutely loved it! We had a fantastic dinner and front row seats to see Emi Sunshine. She was fabulous as expected and the sound was AMAZING! Awesome spot to see your favorite musicians. We will definitely be back and will recommend this place to all of our friends. Great job Jammin Java!

Jammin Java is amazing. I have come here countless times and have always had so much fun. I live 2 hours from this place, but it is so worth the trip. They have shows for everyone, always keep their website updated on events, and have great food paired with a great atmosphere. This place is perfect for people who want to have a concert experience without crappy parking and a big crowd. The prices are amazing for such a mellow and close up experience. I highly highly recommend.

I'm biased because I live near here but the music and ambiance is always fun. Great pizza and beer selection, plenty of parking and friendly informed staff make the visits always worth. All of that helps overcome the somewhat wonky club layout, especially for seated shows.

I work with musicians for my job and have been to many of the DC local venues. Jammin' Java is a fine venue, but it is soooooooooo far from DC (35 minute drive from Capitol Hill). Once you finally arrive, it is kind of a cool venue. You can order drinks and food and take them anywhere in the venue which is a good perk. They usually have a good balance of smaller name musicians and bigger names.
