1831 Bar & Lounge is a steampunk-inspired downtown room that runs on late-night club energy, with house, hip-hop, rap and Top 100 music in the mix. The 21+ crowd is there to socialize and move, so DJs need to favor momentum over subtlety. The room makes sense for performers who are comfortable treating the night as a party rather than a concert.

Venue review
The musician's read
Lola's is a Capitol Hill neighborhood bar with a second-floor private-event area, Bose surround sound and A/V support for gatherings up to about 150. DJ and mixed event music fit naturally. Musicians should think private party or social event rather than concert-club booking.
