Great, intimate setting to catch your favorite band. Get there early to get a seat close to the stage if you want as all shows are general admission , but there aren't bad seats.
Much more than a 'Rock Club ,"legendary R&B, Bluegrass,Country, Folk, Jazz artists play in an intimate setting with perfect sound quality. No bad seats, but it's unreserved-get there early(doors at 6p)
This place Rocks! Great service. Great Pinot Grigio , by the bottle. I will definitely be back... Hopefully it will be to see Kathleen Madigan :) Be sure to swing by RT's to grab a bite afterwards!
Shhhhh. No talking. This is one of the best venues for the total music experience for when the musicians are playing there is no talking. It’s all about the music and I love that! Read more
Go early to pick the best seats. Ask early if you want something because once it gets busy, service to order can be slow (once ordered, things come pretty quickly).
We love the Birchmere! Great for a date night or night out with friends. Even better - you can get $20 off your first ride by signing up for Uber with the promo code 'BIRCHMERE' ! #uberapproved
Don't come expecting great good or even good service . This is a place to listen to music and perhaps drink beer if you're into it, thanks to a pretty solid variety of micros.
Best live music you will EVER experience! No bad seat in the house but all the better if you can catch a booth up front, incredible acoustics and you can order food & beer while catching a show, what
For the best seats, come around 4 PM. The box office opens at five. Get in line so that you can get an early number to enter and get the best seats.
Arrive early for good seats, but park far from the entrance so it's easier to get out after a show. Get a bottle of wine while you're waiting & take it in. Avoid salads (swimming in vinegar &sugar).
Best seats if u r on a date: when u first enter the Hall, take the left entrance and go toward stage. There is an isle of 2-top tables. Next best are the zebra couches . The rest are big shared tables.
Get there early for parking and seating--all reasonably priced tickets are general admission . The best performers--not the latest pop flavor of the week--perform here.
One of my favorite venues.Small, intimate and the food is great!
Venue ambiance, food, service and artist selection. No bad seats in the house!
A great place to see world class musicians !
Great place for live music , social, and food! Get there early though because it's first come first served with seating even though there aren't any bad seats in the place
This place is awesome. It’s a little small, but then again, I am a 400 pound bear. After a show, I head to TopGolf to stretch my legs and swing the big stick.
John Waters does an annual Xmas show here. A collection of interviews with Mr. Waters was recently published , including one in 2009 by us detailing this very event . Read more
Get here early to get a good seat, and bring an appetite for dinner
Casual place with a lot of history. Great staff . I'll be back.
amazing live performances from obscure/underground artists with niche followings.
Get there at 5:00 when they hand out the numbers that they call out at 6:00 when the music hall opens. Great live music ! Read more
Concerts , atmosphere, food & fun! It's all here :)
Good food, stage line of site is pretty good at majority of the seats/tables.
Arrive early to snag a good table. Decent on tap and bottled beer selection .
Great, intimate venue . Good service and decent food. Arrive early to get good seats!
One cool place to see a show, social, and food. But get there early due to first come first served seating even though there are really no bad seats here. Read more
Great venue! Get there early (or show up late) to grab awesome seats.
Get there around 5pm to get a front row seat
Group of 3. Ordered crabby pretzels . Dicks gave us 2 pretzels . We had to math. Dicks also asked for tip when tickets purchased.
Parking can fill up quickly, get in and find a spot.
The performance was excellent. The food is not so good. But it's not far from Old Town or Crystal City .
Really liked the catfish and red beans and rice entree!
Best music around and great atmosphere!
Be careful where you park . They will double the cars in the lot and you will be blocked in. Is that legal? Probably my last visit here.
Get the catfish , red beans and rice ...always a treat!
The line number ticket system is ridiculous. It's like the Southwest airline of venues.
Perfect venue for concerts
Definitely looking forward to another concert at the Birchmere!
Gay jazz saxophonist Dave Koz brings his ‘Hello Tomorrow Tour ’ this Wednesday. Koz is playing new releases and old hits. Tell us if he plays "You Make Me Smile" and "Together Again."
The catfish is yummy
Music , burlesque , & more.
The Pontani Sisters Burlesque Show was AMAZING there! Get there early, as it's general seating - food great too!
The entertainment, mostly - the food is passable but necessary.
Not a bad seat in the house.
Order two beers at a time.
Love this place.
Get the catfish red beans and rice ! Delicious!
Have the catfish and red beans and rice . Not kidding. Do it.
Best venue for live music in the DC-Baltimore area.
The Irish egg roles is a cool spin on corned beef and cabbage. The wonton wrap and the dubliner cheddar cheese taste awesome with the corned beef and cabbage. - Rayshawn Williams
Our go to spot to watch any sports. Lots of tv's and good bar food. They actually have a big variety ranging from wings and pizza to Greek food and pasta. Beer and drinks are a good price - Caitlin Lawler
Excellent food!! Food is very consistent and service great. soft shell crabs great, as well as gumbo and she-crab soup. - Wanda (LJ) M.
