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.

Kyle Osborne

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)

Anna

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!

Design*Sponge

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

Jaime Cook

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).

Uber DC

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

Shayne Cole

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.

Laura Renenger

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

Nancy Carlson

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).

Jason Moran

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.

Keith Malkin

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.

Ray Venero

One of my favorite venues.Small, intimate and the food is great!

Tina Holmes

Venue ambiance, food, service and artist selection. No bad seats in the house!

rukmini diane maria bongiorni

A great place to see world class musicians !

Pee Jay

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

TopGolf Bear

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.

Metro Weekly

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

amazing live performances from obscure/underground artists with niche followings.

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.

Sean Robertson

Get there around 5pm to get a front row seat

Tori Stovall

Group of 3. Ordered crabby pretzels . Dicks gave us 2 pretzels . We had to math. Dicks also asked for tip when tickets purchased.

Brandon Sorensen

Parking can fill up quickly, get in and find a spot.

Willette Bethea

The performance was excellent. The food is not so good. But it's not far from Old Town or Crystal City .

Ron Shipley

Really liked the catfish and red beans and rice entree!

Laurie MacNamara

Best music around and great atmosphere!

Pamela Evon

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.

Joseph Smith

Get the catfish , red beans and rice ...always a treat!

Allison Kasic

The line number ticket system is ridiculous. It's like the Southwest airline of venues.

Nancy Quincy McDermott

Perfect venue for concerts

Rick Stecker

Definitely looking forward to another concert at the Birchmere!
