DC/MD/VA Concert Venues

So I thought I should post this as a sort of reference blog so people know where they can look to find local music live. They are all clubs/bars in the DC/MD/VA area that have local bands, small touring bands, and other indie artists. Typical music to be found in these clubs are ALL types of rock, electronic, rap, hip hop, folk, pop, indie, classic rock, oldies, cover bands, and on a rare occasion, country. Basically, EVERYTHING
