This is the concert space & downstairs bar. This space will be 18+, but the upstairs will be off limits to anyone under 21 years of age.

The kitchen is still under construction, but once it is completed it will be the source of food for most of the other DC9/Englert associated places along H Street.

Even the bathrooms received special attention.

Yeah, I heard a band practicing in there a week or two ago and was wondering if they had practice space. Looks like they've done another great job of decorating the space.

Heh. A miniature golf course. That would be something. He should put it on the roof of one or more of the buildings.
