Rock & Roll Hotel

Washington, DC


The R&R Hotel is a great, grotty spot to catch rockin’ live sets from the likes of Thurston Moore, St Vincent and the Dead Kennedys. Don’t let the name fool you; the venue hosts all kinds of genres besides rock, from Afrofunk to indie, punk and hip hop, too. It only holds 400 people, so you're always close to the action.

The building was once a funeral parlor, and some say it's haunted by lingering spirits.
