Description:
ADAMS-MORGAN. Columbia Station sponsors live jazz concerts every night of the week. If you expect to get a good seat, though, you have to show up early. While you wait, look over the unusual artwork on the walls. Around 10pm, the show begins, and the room floods with local jazz music. Terrific performances! Dress is casual to business casual but nothing too fancy. METRO: Woodley Park/Zoo or Dupont Circle |

Description:
ADAMS-MORGAN. Madam's Organ will definitely provide you with an interesting night out! All patrons attempt to squeeze onto the tiny dance floor and enjoy the blues, R&B and bluegrass music you will find here. There are pool tables, too, if you are up for some competition. One fair warning: this party can get kind of wild for, as the motto goes, this is where the "beautiful people come to get ugly." If you dare, check out Madam's 2nd floor bar, Big Daddy's Love Lounge and Pick-up Joint. METRO: Woodley Park/Zoo |
