9:30 Club - Washington, D.C. - Concert Halls on Waymarking.com

The 9:30 Club is a nightclub and concert venue in Washington, D.C. and known as one of the best selling venues in the United States and voted one of the best venues worldwide. From it's early days of Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Black Flag, etc in the 80s and early 90s at the original location on 9:30 F Street NW to Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M., The Replacements, Flaming Lips, and more at the new location from the 90s to today.

The following is taken from Wikipedia:

The club was originally housed in the ground floor rear room of the Atlantic Building at 930 F Street NW, in the city's downtown area, where it opened on May 31, 1980, with a legal standing capacity of 199. In 1996, the club was moved to a roomier space: its current location at 815 V Street NW, where it anchors the eastern end of the U Street Corridor.

The 9:30 Club's name was derived from its original street address, which was also the reason to set the venue's original opening time of 9:30 p.m. Early advertising on D.C.'s WHFS radio featured the slogan "9:30 – a Place and Time!"

The club has a distinctive wheeled stage mounted on rails, which can be moved back and forth as needed. This way, the place can feel as packed with 500 people in attendance as it would during a sold-out, full capacity show.

Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump once said of the 9:30, "it's got so much character, you wonder if the locals know how lucky they are."
