Bohemian Caverns historic U Street jazz club

Bohemian Caverns, established in the 1920s on U Street, became one of Washington, D.C.’s prominent jazz clubs and a fixture of the city’s historic Black entertainment corridor. The venue closed in the late 1960s during the neighborhood’s period of decline and was later restored and reopened in the 2000s as a jazz club and restaurant. Its presence and programming are tied to the musical and cultural legacy of the U Street neighborhood.
