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

Enjoy, I sure did.
