20 Second Bar Review - HR-57
1610 Fourteenth Street NW
I'm hesitant to dub HR-57 a bar, that's selling it short. It's full name is HR-57 Center for the Preservation of Jazz & Blues, and it may be the only non profit club in the area. Named for the House Resolution passed in '87 designating jazz a national treasure, HR-57 deserves to be recognized for the local treasure that it represents.
Come for the music (they've got the best jazz open mike nights in town), sample a small selection of beer, wine, and food or bring your own.
Wobbly tables and booths only add to the atmosphere. Don't want to sit too close to the performers? Have a seat in the back and play a game of chess.
Above all, visit HR-57, don't let it become a victim of Logan Circle's transformation.
And as you leave, expect to hear a sincere, "See you next week," from the staff.
