The Howard Theatre

Authentic . Getting to watch performances while you eat and drink is a very unique experience and highly valued. The Sweet Spot Burlesque :Make It Rain Edition was fantastic

The Gospel Brunch was wonderful!!! The food was very tasty, especially the catfish fingers and apple cobbler . The singing by Harlem Gospel Choir was amazing!!!!! I will def be back.

Love this place! Had so much fun seeing Black Alley and Melanie Fiona! The valet parking sucks, though. Other than that, great place! I'll surely some back, just won't park here. Take the Metro!

D.C.’s historic music hall on Black Broadway has reopened as a super-club, booking major R&B, jazz , and pop acts. Bonus: chef Marcus Samuelsson oversees the restaurant .

The 1st concert hall in the country that catered exclusively to Black artists & audiences. See great examples of African-Americans' contributions to us all: http://bet.us/BHM

The hottest spot for all the best shows from Jazz , blues , to hip hop .. Howard University secret hot spot..all the big names come here when in DC

Get the fried chicken--it’s an instant star. The quarter-bird’s craggly skin crisply breaks to reveal tender meat, over buttermilk-laced mashed potatoes and sautéed collard greens : Read more

If you're going to the first show, get there when the doors open and be prepared to wait a while. While you wait, order dinner and a cocktail and relax a bit. Read more

It's Howard Homecoming join us at LUX LOUNGE for Black Hollywood hosted by Taraji P. Henson! Tell friends to text LOUD to 41411 to RSVP for free passes now!

Great venue!! One thing though: Don't sit on the floor level towards the front. A crowd collects there once the show starts and then your view will be blocked.

Get their artichoke and crab dip . Don't expect fast service . It took 30 minutes for drinks to arrive. Their large bites are huge, good for 2

Being a sweater...it's freezing!! Get a seat up front and enjoy the show!

Here @ the tribute to sarah vaughn & comedian kevin Anthony & Indigo love. Njoying this is so cool here tonight myself & some good friends came out. ...

Pay the $15 for the Self Parking lot A. It's easy to get in and out and is super well lit! It's small, so get parking tickets early.

City 's first legitimate theater for African-American audiences and entertainers, showcasing musical , theatrical and comical talent. Built in 1910, built by architect Edward Storck.

Managing ed. Kay Steiger says: This theater launched the careers of Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Marvin Gaye & The Supremes, but was damaged in the 1968 race riots. It re-opened on April 19, 2012.

11/20: amazing progress so far; completely gutted, down to soil; working on improving foundations; there's going to be a lot of cement so they have their own covered cement bldg out back;

Get here 2 hours early to get a good seat

Saw Musiq Soulchild. Was AWESOME! Great crowd & I love the new improvements. Two thumbs up!

One of the best live performance venues in the city . Been to many sick shows here

Skip the valet parking for packed shows! Ive seen people wait in line 45 minutes. Hopefully this will change with time. Great management!

General admission for every show, so go early to get a good table (great bars to help pass the time)

First Drag Show since the 1960's is Now at The Howard Theatre "A Drag Salute To The Divas" next Show October 10, 2012 Read more

All live performances are awesome.. great venue...food sometimes a hit or miss though :(

Solid beer selection

Italy Pizza is a great place to grab a slice before the show and just acros the alley

Really nice venue. Food is pricy and plates are small. Coming early gets you a good seat toward the front but the seats are uncomfortable after time. Tables seat 8 but should be for 6.

Get there early for front row seats. They do have a $10 minimum but the food more than covers that!

Really cool venue - great for music

Please get to the theater 3.5 hours before show - seating policy is a hot mess. You can't be seated until entire party is present.

Save a few dollars by visiting the theater box office if you can. Ticketmaster's extra fees add up.

GREAT venue! Service was good. Kitchen took two hours to get my dessert out, but server had it comped.

DC Jazz Festival Special performances : Jazz at the Howard celebrates the tradition of jazz in D.C. Grammy winning vocalist Dianne Reeves, Italian guitarist Pino Daniele & Steve Kimock Band

Bitches Who Brunch voted Howard Theatre 's Gospel Choir Brunch as the worst buffet in 2012!

Get there early or u will be standing ...

There is apparently no system for the wait staff . Watched the runner walk past me, into the kitchen, and 4 different tables before bringing MY food to me. Also, took 30 mins to get water.

PROTIP: Rides to and from the Howard are free from Sidecar all summer long

Check out this sped up Howard Theater renovation video from last year; too bad the restoration work didn't keep going: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FElWn9rHeCc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Its best to come with a group of 4-6 people. If u want to get a booth ..

Magnificent space, expectedly priced drinks.

The food is expensive but the shows are usually good. Great for mature adults.

Great acts, but eat before you get there. Incredibly overpriced food, $18 burgers , super slow service. 30 minutes fo order, 30 more for simplest order. REQUIRED tip & mysterious fees raise prices 50%.

Get there when doors open to get great seat!

Love the new look! Upstairs bar has great view

Great shows...all the time! Glad their back

Concerts are great

Shut Up & Dance ! #freedompartynyc #lilsoso #lsponthego

Mexican BBQ Chicken
