Rock and Roll Hotel

[Vas Deferens]

I can't find the thread...is it close to a Metro? How's the surrounding area?

[sweetcell]

shit, someone re-posted a link to the original thread not too long ago.  i'll try finding it later, once i'm off the clock.
 
 to answer your questions:
 
 no, it's at least a dozen-plus blocks from the closest metro, which is union station (use google maps to get exact distance). 15 minute walk, i'd say.
 
 neighborhood along the way is pretty damn sketchy.  traveling in a big group i wouldn't worry, but if less than 4 i'd recommend a cab.  the bars around the R'n'R hotel have pooled together to provide a free shuttle service between the metro stations and the H St NE corridor, but I can't remember the details (starts at 10 PM i believe, might be only on weekends).  call the R'n'R hotel or search through this msg board...
 
 i saw adam west at the R'n'R hotel a few weekends ago, i liked the place.   dirty and grimy, the way rock'n'roll is suposed to be      bar upstairs is way cool.

They need some street lights like the ones on T St by the Black Cat! It's like 1pm at 2am!
 
 Definitely check with RnR Hotel (http://www.rockandrollhoteldc.com) about the Atlas District Shuttle from Union Station to the area.
 
 At least they're all set come 2007 with the smoking ban (you're allowed to smoke in there now) since there's a HUGE painted "No Smoking Allowed" sign above the double doors to the main venue room.

Check out Welbilt, ADHD and Minus-One there on November 16. Should be a good time.

Do they have pool table(s)? What about at the Red and Black?

[sweetcell]

What about parking? Street only?

[sweetcell]

i don't remember seeing any paid/reserved parking when i was there, then again i was in a cab so i wasn't exactly looking either.  definitely nothing specific to the R'n'R hotel.  i would assume that it's street only.

Yes, street only for the time being, it's usually pretty easy to find a space close by, but def go in a group.

Hmm...glad I didn't go solo this one time...Looks like I'll wait to venture over when there's a lot close by or a posse comes...

[pela123]

its fine to go solo, just be aware of your surroundings
