HR-57 Relocating to H Street

Washington City Paper has confirmed that the jazz bar HR-57 (which I LOVE) is relocating to 9th and H Street. This is major news for HR-57, and for us in the H Street Corridor, and for all local jazzheads. I'm calling it the story of the week.

seems like a good fit for H St and HR57, haven't been to the 14th street venue in a while but it was always a good time. very jazzed about a live jazz spot in the middle of h st, still wondering what the address is, opposite the h st connection i'm guessing, but where? hoping for less hype and just a simple grand opening of great live jazz on a regular basis in our neighborhood.

914 H?

i.e. the spot of the once proposed Liquid Lounge?

tremendous news. it will be nice to have more entertainment options rather than just another place to eat hopefully drew won't try to shut them down too.

i think that by the time the street work all clears up, people are going to be very shocked by h st.
even ya'll that live there will be shocked.

be prepared for how many people are going to be hanging out there.

its going to be nuts.

This is exciting! I'm not a jazz fan but I'll still check the place out every once in a while.
I love how H st is becoming more culturally diversified every day. Keep them coming!

If this were facebook I would be hitting the "like" button.

Do we know when they are coming?

This is awesome! Does anyone know if H St code will permit BYOB at this site?

If this were a hip-hop club most people wouldn't be nearly as exciting. This should bring more quality people to the corridor.

defintely a great addition for H st. Remember H st was suppossed to be the Atlas arts district not another Adams Morgan.

I'll spend my money there even though I don't like jazz.

This is huge! Welcome to the neighborhood, HR-57.

This will be a fantastic move to diversify the options for H street...a return to the glory days of the 1940's & 1950's.

Wow this is going to be amazing!

Wow, this is great. It's awesome to see new entertainment/music coming to H Street. Hopefully this will give HR57 some new buzz. Would be great if they could get some good national acts and keep their byob policy.

Speaking of the glory days, too bad Club Kavakos isn't still around at 8th and H. If you're not familiar, check out: http://www.victoriansecrets.net/kavakos2.html

Bringing back a serious jazz club to H Street is friggin awesome.
