Jammin Java is one of my favorite places to play. That it is a nonsmoking venue is a HUGE plus to me - one thing that I have *always* hated about playing in a band is going home from a gig with that bar stench on you. I don't have hair, but I do have a beard - and that's just nasty, having stale beer & secondhand smoke smells in your facial hair. Clothes, guitar cases, and then of course, if you're too tired to unload when you get home, the stench stays in your car for a long time too.

They have good food, and in addition the coffeehouse history & atmosphere, they also have a liquor license, so it's all-around a great place.

They put in a real stage in '06, have a nice large area in front of the stage that sometimes has tables & chairs (tho not last night - it was danceapalooza for us ). The sound system is phenomenal and the crew knows how to use it.

I posted this photo in another thread, but since this is a different topic... hahahah



I recommend Jammin Java without reservation as one of the best places in the DC area to go see bands play.
