Nation is a cavernous, live music club located just off the downtown area in Washington, DC. Its size alone makes it a unique venue for the area. Nation brings the finest in local, regional, and national live music to a powerful club style setting. Additionally Nation offers a number of weekly DJ events each with its own unique following and flavor but Nation offers much more. Divided into a number of separate rooms, each functioning as a club / music space on its own, Nation also has enough space and intimate areas so that you do not feel overwhelmed by a club of this size. Ample bars located throughout each of the rooms also mean that you can easily quench your thirst without spending the evening standing in line. The main hall at Nation provides 3 tiers, centered around the stage area, giving concert goers unique vantage points for viewing live music and events. Located just off South Capitol Street, in an old boiler factory, Nation is easily accessible anyone in the MD and northern VA areas.

I attended on Alchemy night. A weekly Thursday night event at Nation, Alchemy DJ's explore the darker sounds of the Underground 80's, Goth, Synth-Pop, Dance Industrial, Power Electronics, and Hard Trance musical edge. I instantly felt at home here. The sounds, the atmosphere and the people all very much appealed to my darker sensibilities and I would defiantly recommend Alchemy club night to anyone into the darker or Gothic scenes. There is a small cover charge and most weeks' doors open at 9:00pm. Further information for Alchemy night, including upcoming special events is located on the Nation website or at http://alchemy-dc.com

Enjoy, I sure did.
