Other venues in District of Columbia, weighted toward the same city and genres.
Ben’s Next Door is a U Street restaurant and bar where jazz, R&B and hip-hop sit comfortably inside a lively food-and-drink setting. With capacity around 110, the room is large enough for a real performance but still close enough that personality carries. Artists should bring a polished set that can hold attention without forgetting that the crowd is also there to eat, drink and socialize.
