Echostage, Washington DC

Love the scene but tired of being forced to throw my medication out! Even tho i have my medical card and even recreational is now legal.if you dont drive tou can't take it back to car! I shouldnt be forced to throw away a vape pen when others can have their nicotine i have to throw my medication (cart have to take it off battery and throw it in trash) after tonight i wont be returning to this venue!

Everytime I come here it’s an awful experience. Rude security, horrible location, and the venue isn’t even all that.

Last time they didn’t let my gf in because she didn’t have an ID because she’s foreign, and she had a photo of her passport, but it was expired, so they wouldn’t let her in at all. Security cursed her out and I ended up getting shoved by a bouncer. Afterwards I contacted ticketmaster, they said EchoStage doesn’t give refunds, so I emailed them and they gave me 2 tickets to some random concert I didn’t even go to. Never coming back, wish I could rate this 0/5!

Really loud, not enough downstairs seating. They serve very few drink options and their drinks are bad quality. Not impressed.

Ridiculous venue - went to check on my friend who went outside and didn’t know that once outside you won’t get in again despite a valid ticket. For no reason we weren’t let in again, simply ridiculous don’t spend a single dollar at this place.

Saw Logic perform June 2023 at Echostage and fell in love with the venue. Smaller, but extremely good quality concert venue. The security was great, plenty of bathrooms, and lots of bartenders. Looking forward to seeing more concerts here!

The club was fine while I was there, but I forgot to close my tab and they lost both my ID and credit card. I called the same night that I left them there, while the dj was still performing, and was told I would need to call back that Monday. I called back Monday morning and they could not find them. I called back again a couple of days later and they were still lost. It’s not like I just dropped them on the ground, both cards were stored behind the bar and there should be a secure and organized protocol for storing them and getting them back to people. Now I will need to replace my license and cancel my card because my assumption is that one of their employees probably stole them. Totally unacceptable.

Eh, it’s alright.good for events but security isn’t too friendly and when i went to fisher i had a bartender scream in my face.i understand it can be overwhelming considering the environment, but she was just being nasty.i went up to the bar and saw how she was yelling at the person in front of me acting like they were dumb just because the girl couldn’t hear her, and i was thinking wow, is this really happening right now? And then it was my turn to order.i made hand gestures and spoke loudly and said “2 waters” so she could understand me over the music.next thing i know she’s spitting in my face while screaming at me saying “BOTTLE OR TAP” with such a rude tone.i’ve never been asked this question for water at echo because the bartenders any other time have water cups ready to place on the counter so i thought she meant beer.so i repeated my self and said “no, i want 2 waters” and she gets the snarkiest attitude and the girl in line next to me that i was talking to earlier puts her hand on my shoulder and gives me a look of “it’s okay just relax. ” but i couldn’t believe it.then she had the nerve to ask for a tip? Water is free why are you trying to tip me… i said no and walked away.and i came back later for more water and went to a different bartender who was very sweet and friendly.

If you’re going to tell me that I cannot bring in my vape, that is fine. BUT if you literally take my vape from my hand then throw it away THEN say “these aren’t allowed”, that’s crazy disrespectful and unacceptable. I would have walked to my car and gotten back in line.

Please teach your front of house to be polite, explain the rules, and not PHYSICALLY take things from people. Ever.
Unacceptable. Would give zero stars.

This venue is great, and my first visit this past weekend was one of my favorite concerts of all time seeing Two Friends (NOTD opened and were also amazing). The venue is ideal for EDM shows with the lighting layout (seriously insane lasers and lighting!).

There is no seating if you are in GA, but the size of the venue ensures everyone has a good view even in the back. If you do want to sit, bottle service upstairs on the terrace is ridiculous and the views from there are also insane! We already had GA tickets but since it is my boyfriends fav, (I also love Two Friends) I decided to get us a table, one thing I learned is that concert admission is included so if you missed out on tickets to a show you REALLY want to see, you can get a group of friends and get a table that includes concert admission. I loved the bottle service, large leather couch like seating, and our server was a peach!

The bathrooms are large and I never waited in line to use the bathroom (yes the ladies room had no lines) and the show was packed. The venue is out there and not located near much, so keep that in mind with planning since leaving and grabbing an Uber or Lyft can be a challenge if you don’t keep this in mind with the time you leave. All in all this was a great venue to see a show and I’d love to come back to see another show!

Venue was great, music was great, staff were great, but the price gouging that happened here tonight should be criminal…over $400 for 7 jack&cokes and 7 capn&cokes should be illegal.

Attended a work event, and the facility and staff were amazing! Jasmine was one of the bartenders that night, and she was awesome!

Great venue! Parking is free if you drive past. 5 miles and park on the residential street.

I drove 5 hours to go there to see two friends I got there around 1am and they close at 3 but, unfortunately I wasn’t let in because I was “drunk”. They didn’t even want to confirm it, no walking in a straight line nothing just looked at me and said I couldn’t go in. I was extremely disappointed and tired and had to drive back.

Lovely venue for a show with great sound. It was a comfortable temperature which is RARE for a night club, bathrooms are clean, water is readily available at the two bars. 2 stars because one of the security guards was so notably rude and physically aggressive with the patrons that I felt like I was being processed for entering a prison. Thankfully the police were present so the guard could inflict only limited roughing-up but you could tell he was on a power trip and would have liked to do more. Creepy! Will not be back as there are places that feel safer going out dancing, despite how nice the venue is.

Awesome venue. Always have a good time there. My only complaint is when a big act performs there, they sell way too many tickets and it's just too packed.

I went to see A Boogie in February & the line was so long but the doors opened on time & it moved fast. The venue was way too hot, security was passing out water bottles that they threw into the crowd…which is not a good idea because i definitely got hit in the ear with one smh.
