The Atlantis is a 450-capacity rock club on 9th Street NW in Washington, DC, built right next door to the 9:30 Club. Opened in 2023 by I.M.P., it was designed as a near-replica of the original 9:30 Club on F Street, down to the vintage flyers and graffiti-covered walls.
This guide covers what you need before a show: the address, tickets, parking, Metro, age policy, and what the room is like once you get inside.

Who Books Shows at The Atlantis?
The Atlantis is owned and operated by I.M.P., the independent promoter behind the 9:30 Club, The Anthem, Lincoln Theatre, and Merriweather Post Pavilion. The room is built for discovery, so expect up-and-coming touring bands alongside the occasional surprise show from a much bigger act.
Parking at The Atlantis
The venue’s monitored parking lot is at 2366 9th St NW, a few blocks north of the club, and opens one hour before doors. Space is limited, so buying a parking pass with your ticket is the safest bet. Several private garages near 8th and V Streets NW are also within a short walk.
Metro and Rideshare
The U Street station on the Green and Yellow lines is the closest Metro stop, a short walk from the club. Rideshare drop-offs work best on 9th Street or V Street NW; expect heavy traffic when shows let out at both The Atlantis and the 9:30 Club.
What to Expect at The Atlantis
The room has a corner stage on the main floor and a three-sided balcony upstairs, with bars on each level and a rooftop bar designed to look like the street outside the original 9:30 Club. Sightlines are close no matter where you stand.
Because most shows are all ages, the staff checks IDs carefully. Bring a valid photo ID if you plan to drink.
The Atlantis History
The original 9:30 Club at 930 F Street NW briefly operated as a club called The Atlantis before it became the 9:30 Club in 1980. I.M.P. revived the name for this new room, which opened on May 30, 2023, exactly 43 years after the original 9:30 Club. Foo Fighters played the grand opening, kicking off a 44-show inaugural series with every ticket priced at $44.
