Columbia Station

Washington, DC


Columbia Station is an intimate spot to listen to nightly jazz and blues, and if you're on a budget it's especially appealing – it doesn't have a cover charge. It's a good date spot (well, assuming your date likes jazz), with lots of low light and, natch, romantic music.

Sunday's jam session, which starts around 4:30pm, brings out a sweet group of regulars.
