This is a DC establishment for good reason. It s not exactly the Ritz, but it has a gritty charm all its own. The hot grub options at the aptly named "Food Food" window next to the bar on the left on the main floor, has a surprisingly large variety to choose from, not exactly for health freaks, but very filling for the price. personally I always get their chicken Parm equivalent, noms. Drinks as usual at any concert venue are always a little higher than they would be at the usual bar, but selection is fine, usually around seven or eight different beers on tap. There is a bar in the basement and on the second floor in addition to the main floor, so feel free to roam. There s even a little coffee bar upstairs, though I ve never indulged in this myself. The upstairs bar is better when you want a little bit more of an intimate setting, although arrive earlier if you want to make sure you get some of the seats there, as they re limited. Personally I ve always preferred to be at the main floor with the big crowd, but to each their own. I have seen at least two dozen shows here in my life, and I always look forward to my next outing at 9:30
