Don't let the outside of the China Clipper fool you. I've been there many times, and seen many shows there. It's a great intimate venue to see a live show. Also, the bar staff there are locals who are friendly and funny. You can go and enjoy a few drinks in their random, but interesting, lounge and then head in to the separate space (that holds pool tables during the non-show part of the day) to watch a show by one of the many local bands that they book there. The shows are, for the most part only around 5-8 bucks or so, so it's a good deal. Little tip, keep your eyes open, some pretty major Washington bands meander in from time to time.
Pros: Great Music Venue, Great Staff, Great Location
