The Scene: Samy checks in to the Rock and Roll Hotel

If I told you I was going to the Rock and Roll Hotel on H St in Northeast DC, you would assume I was going to a raucous bar with no cares for their cosmetic appearance with speakers blaring guitars and drums. Luckily for you today, that guess was spot on and I wouldn't want it any other way. In a city filled with chandeliers, $15 dollar shooters and strict dress codes, RNR is a nice change of pace, not to mention a kick butt spot to see some damn good bands. (I saw Cobra Starship and King Khan there.)  And what's cool about it is that there is not a single thing in there that isn't rock and roll, from the lounge-ish area with some roughed up couches to the bathroom wallpaper (which isn't even wallpaper but flattened cans of beer).

The upstairs is for drinking and chilling and the main floor is for drinking and concert watching. The crowd was a cool mix of everything you could hope for (which included no one in searsucker pants. Woo hoo!!)  Would I reccomend it??  If a night of Pabst Blue Ribbon, rocking guitars and girls with tattoos sounds good ot you...  than I would say hell yes!!  But why trust me when you can see for yourself below...
