I don’t know other than they seem to be going under

On a macro level, it's a bummer for the local scene, but that place always sucked.

The sound blew and wtf w the bathrooms behind the stage - gtfoh

I remember seeing Vampire Weekend there back in the day

Best shows I saw there...Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Frightened Rabbit, Okkervil River. I also had a ticket to Phoenix but I sold it for a nice profit.

Wow that sucks.... It was pretty much them and Argonaut that started the rejuvenation / gentrification of the whole H St corridor... Figures they'd be responsible for pricing themselves out eventually.  Stills sucks to see another good one go the way of the Buffalo...



"ROCK & ROLL HOTEL – WASHINGTON, DC – March 2, 2020

It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Rock & Roll Hotel will cease operations effective immediately, Monday March 2, 2020.   All shows and events are cancelled.

Over the last 3 years Rock & Roll Hotel experienced rising operating costs, an increase in the number of music venues, and the decrease in ticket and bar sales. While Rock & Roll Hotel did all we could to adjust with the times, it was not enough to stay a float and hence, we sadly join a growing number of small businesses and music venues by closing our doors permanently.

Rock & Roll Hotel gives our heart and soul of thanks and appreciation over the last 14 years to all the employees (past and present), fans, and H St local businesses and residents who without them, we would have never made it this far.

While many will feel a sense of sadness, disappointment or anger with this announcement,  we ask that you stay positive, and continue to support the many music venues and small businesses in DC.

Stay dedicated to the discovery and recovery of great music!

Ate we rating announcements now too? I would have given that an 8.5 / 10, but I've never really been a fan.

Thanks. I mean, 40 years of "Group Sex" at the Black Cat to me just seems to warrant all caps...if there's one show this year that will probably go down as the most authentic punk rock experience you're going to see, it's this one.

I saw Cibo Matto there and it was maybe the WORST experience ever. I never went back. Will not miss.

Playing all the hits at a third of the speed that you’re used to.

That said, I’ll attend and hope it turns out better than FLAG.
