I got part of an old 930 club bathroom stall door I can donate…my friend in St Louis has the other half…
-
I am just sad that the old, new 930 club is losing the parking lot. I loved that lot and used it for every show. Is the new, old 930 club going there, or is something, else?
-
I would think the parking stays. They only need the footprint of the satellite room
-
I think it’s good PR but the old 930 had a pretty weird two floor layout
That long narrow corridor when you came in? Sheesh…I hope they don’t replicate that…:)
-
The old lot adjacent to the Satellite Room is already gone. New lot is a few blocks away.
-
Looks like they won’t need my old bathroom stall door frame

oh cool. No rats. Good to know. What’s the sexual assault situation going to be?
-
So many (likely stupid) questions about this. I mean I recognize this is the venue they (IMP) wanted but is it the one we (the fans) needed?
-
The Jeffs need it.
-
What do we need Stone the Crow? What DO we need?!?!
-
I concur
The Jeffs need it.

but Satellite is a 1 story building?
The three-story venue has been designed to capture the look and feel of the music venue's old F Street NW home

Have we lost Stone the Crow, or did he just change his user name? How about Challenged?

Replica of the original 9:30 Club sets sights on 2023 opening
A replica of the 9:30 Club's former location at 930 F St. NW is planned for a site adjacent to the nightclub's current space by 9th and V streets NW.

It could soon be 9:30, again
The owners of the 9:30 Club are setting the stage for a planned replica of the nightclub’s original home at 930 F St. NW, which shuttered in December 1995 to make way for its current space at 815 V St. NW.
Representatives for I.M.P. have submitted plans to the D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs for the remake at 2047 9th St. NW, the former Satellite Room located behind the club’s current location. The plans show a three-story, nearly 7,900-square-foot building. The venue, to include a nearly 2,000-square-foot rooftop, is slated to hold nearly 480 people. I.M.P. hopes to complete the roughly $5.3 million project in time for an opening act in September 2023, per DCRA permit info.
Word of the 9:30 Club replica was revealed by rockstar Dave Grohl on stage during a Foo Fighters show in September 2021 that was part of the nightclub’s reopening week after a pandemic-related closure. At the time, representatives for I.M.P. declined to disclose additional details, according to DCist.
Audrey Fix Schaefer, a spokeswoman for I.M.P., declined to comment on the plans for this article.
An I.M.P. affiliate, It’s Mine Now LLC, acquired the single-story, 2,361-square-foot former Satellite Room building for $2.5 million in 2006, according to the D.C. Recorder of Deeds. The Satellite Room, from owners Ian and Eric Hilton, announced its planned closure in December 2019 due to a lease termination, per DCist.
It’s Mine Now has assembled a team including Core Architecture + Design Inc., Bohler D.C., Rathgeber-Gross Associates and New York acoustical engineering firm Walters-Storyk Design Group to design, build out and soundproof the space.
That last piece is of note given the site’s location. While it’s adjacent to the 9:30 Club to the south, it will be next to a planned development by MRP Realty slated to include a 10-story, 312-unit apartment building with about 5,178 square feet of ground-floor retail. MRP Managing Principal Bob Murphy said he believes the replica will be a positive addition to the neighborhood.
“We’re excited about the use and the replica — another awesome amenity in Shaw,” Murphy said in an email.

Have we lost Stone the Crow, or did he just change his user name? How about Challenged?
Challenged is an outpatient nature rehab program that focuses on reptiles/snakes while also taking a keen interest in concert memorabilia.

just wanted to make sure that everyone caught this...

Rooftop? This sounds dope…
-
The venue, to include a nearly 2,000-square-foot rooftop, is slated to hold nearly 480 people.
So, a replica with more than twice the original capacity?

I would've preferred a place next door to get pizza and wings last minute before a show vs. another music venue.
-
IMP needs a place for smaller shows for the business model to work…a place to function as a feeder upwards for up and comers and also a final resting place for over the hill acts
I will say when I think of the old930 I think dungeon more than rooftop…
But the replica idea is gold…
I want rat robots all over the floor, funky smell dispensing in bathrooms etc 1995 throwback beer prices etc a really long very narrow entrance

Isn't that u street music hall?
-
It was but it closed 2-3 years ago…
And it wasn’t controlled by IMP
Edit: closed October 2020

so IMP owned the property and I guess leased it to H2, but decided they wanted it back to make this

It's Mine Now...yikes, that's a weird name. at least with IMP it was a musical ref...this one just sounds like a spite store

there are loads of options now...not like a decade or so ago where Ben's was nearly the only thing close

Sure, but I still liked the pizza, wings, and two hearted at Satellite room.
