EdDecember 6, 2011Best place to go in DC on a weeknight. Live music every day. This is a really cool bar. Split the big meat platter with a friend. They include tip sometimes, so make sure you check your bill.
CaraSeptember 19, 2014The quintessential get-shitty-in-AdMo bar. If you are not prepared to black out, don't even cross the threshold. Each room is a little different, so it really can be fun for the whole (drunk) family.
Sandra RubinchikSeptember 28, 2014Whether you're here for the jazz, tryna shake it off to TSwift's latest hit, or just wanna kick back w a beer on the roof, this three-tier bar's got you & all your miscellaneous friend groups covered.
Sri RayMarch 11, 2015Spent my 21st birthday here in 2007. This place is special - live band most days. Divey yet classy. Get up to the top floors to relax.
April LittrellNovember 11, 2017INCREDIBLY nice. Perfect atmosphere. Grub to die for. Go for live music!
Ана ЛековићFebruary 17, 2017Stayed for fried shrimps, bottled beer, amazing voice of this lady and cozy atmosphere. Haven't made a mistake 🍻
Arnaud GelbJune 18, 2013If you really want to experience Adams Morgan, Madam's Organ is the place to be. Four floors of fun (especially on Saturday nights).
Brian DanzisJuly 23, 2019Was a regular here 20+ years ago while doing a college internship at nbc. Sank the eightball on break not once but twice one night. Never again!Great music and people.Happy to be back for a quickee.
Men's Health MagNovember 8, 2011Live blues every night, soul food, and half-priced Rolling Rocks to redheads. Find your Juilanna Moore upstairs at the "Big Daddy's Love Lounge and Pick-Up Joint." No, really, they named it that.- EdJanuary 24, 2013This building was a baby furniture store called "Children's Supermarket" in 1948. That company started selling toys and changed its name. Madam's Organ is in the location of the original "Toys R Us".
- Jesse GillJanuary 16, 2017Come for the cheap drinks, stay for the great live music and the historic newspaper clippings.
Nushy SCFebruary 13, 2015Great place in Adams Morgan. Several floors, rooftop deck, live music. Lots of fun.
Seyi (Shay) A.September 26, 2012Great Nawlins-meets-Austin, TX vibe, music was great, drinks reasonably priced. However, beware the cougars!
Zoe VestalJuly 28, 2011Most fun bar in dc hands down! Tiki on a week night is always a chill spot to grab a happy hour :alf price beer
NightSceneNovember 18, 2010Exactly what a blue bar should look like, this "western style" bar features live music and has multiple floors. Great culture, this is a go-to place
Eric AndersenMay 14, 2012Adams Morgan must-do: Find your way to the balcony — from the 3rd floor, step outside, then go down metal spiral stairs. Enjoy the view!
Check out Human Country Jukebox on Wednesday nights. Great music and amazing crowd.
Brian BeckerleNovember 17, 2016Live music, good vibes, taxidermied animals wearing top hats, my type of place.
Mary LSeptember 6, 2014It's ridiculous how much I love the pun on the name of the bar and the neighbourhood it's located, Adams Morgan.
Richard TimblinMarch 5, 2014Loved the atmosphere. Good beer prices, but the food made me and a friend sick
Carmen YépizOctober 25, 2016Not my type of bar, but is a tradition, so I took the chance. Beer and music were good, too crowded.
One Night Stand, the name of the band not necessarily a suggestion, is the most fun you can have in DC on a Monday night.
Samuel CookseyNovember 13, 2012On Mondays the other floors are not open just the first floor is open to live music three dollar cover.
Naptown 💪 LarryJanuary 2, 2012Madam's Organ is one of the few places that has a rooftop deck that's open year round, rain or shine.
Kelsey CMarch 5, 2011Third floor through the salon doors is the best part about this place in the winter... leather couches and a fireplace!!
- Brendan NeeAugust 21, 2009the second floor balcony (down a tiny metal spiral staircase) has a great view of Adams Morgan and is a great place to have a beer even when it's busy.
Brady BJanuary 10, 2016During the day this place is great. Why at night is every member of their staff a total asshole?
DC's Queen of the Blues, Stacy Brooks is here the 1st Sunday of each month givin you the best hot blues in DC!! www.stacysblues.com
- Zoe VestalMay 13, 2010Go to Madams Organ on Tuesday nights and listen to the Johnny Artis Band on the main floor. Order a 1/2 price drink on weeknights 5-8pm. Read more
Brian WalkerJanuary 13, 2011The fried chicken was good!! The mac & cheese was also very good!!! Hope you are not in any kind of hurry, because service is slow....
Mauro RodríguezDecember 10, 2015Just stop searching and come here. You'll learn something about D.C.
Heather RameauApril 5, 2011One of my favorite places in the city. Good music, good people, good location.
Tammy CMay 19, 2013HH 5-8pm Friday to Wed (1/2 off drinks & appetizers). Thursday is charity nite so no HH

"Best karaoke bar ever! Renting a private room for a few hours is the way to go! No food/bev minimum so it's pretty economical for karaoke as well."
