About Black Cat

The Black Cat is a nightclub in Washington, D.C., located on 14th Street Northwest in the Shaw/U Street neighborhood. The club was founded at 1831 14th Street NW in 1993 by former Gray Matter drummer Dante Ferrando, along with a group of investors and quickly established itself as a venue for independent music. While the Black Cat is most known for its support of indie rock, featured musical acts include metal, punk, and electronic, as well as DJ/dance nights, stand-up comedy, and film screenings. The Black Cat's "Mainstage" concert venue is on the second floor in a 7000 square-foot space with a capacity of 800.
