How TheAtlantisDC evokes '80s and '90s DC

at Ninth and V streets, Northwest, and the idea is to pay tribute to the original 9:30 Club location on F Street. —whose company, I.M.P., also operates the 9:30 Club as well as the Anthem and Merriweather Post Pavilion—wanted the Atlantis to evoke the old club while offering patrons up-to-date comforts. The most noticeable design element is a new facade that echoes the front of the Atlantic Building, where the 9:30 Club was located.

Other distinctive features of the prior club greet visitors inside. The old ticket-taking desk has been dug out of storage, and even the previous building’s floor-tile pattern has been recreated. The performance space includes familiar touches like a pole with a videographer’s crow’s nest on top . The new stage is bigger, but it’s still nestled somewhat uncomfortably in a corner. That “doesn’t make much sense in a brand-new room,” says I.M.P.

The current club has an inviting rooftop bar, and it’s here that many of the most nostalgic flourishes can be found. The space is a movie-set-like recreation of the long-vanished block of F Street that surrounded the old venue. “The neighborhood was neither convenient nor welcoming,” recalls NPR Music’s Bob Boilen, who lived around the corner from the original 9:30 and whose band, Tiny Desk Unit, was the first act to play there. “It was a neighborhood that dedicated music fans would come to.

Boilen, who attended the Atlantis’s opening ceremony, gave the new club’s homage to the original a glowing review. “Being there,” he says, “brought back beautiful memories of the community that place inspired.”
