Black Cat
July 2, 2010
The Black Cat has been bringing you the best in live independent music since it opened in the fall of 1993.
Located in the heart of the historic U Street Corridor, the Black Cat has seen some remarkable changes as the neighborhood has transformed around it. Once the hub of an active and exciting music scene in DC’s jazz age, the U Street Corridor fell on hard times beginning with the ’68 riots and continuing through a period of urban neglect that spanned the ‘80s. However, the 1990s found the neighborhood undergoing its own renaissance and the area has once again emerged as a nighttime hot-spot, offering a number of popular nightclubs, bars, restaurants, and retail spaces that cater to a diverse blend of DC’s culture-hungry population.
