Came here with two friends. I had a great time, I prefer hip-hop, so maybe Ill come again when its my type of music! Either way, the sound system was excellent, we got a table, but it was a bit crowded at some points. The place was clean, no dirty, stick tables. Only annoying part was the wait at the bar... My goodness! Not sure if more bartenders are needed, or what, but it was just way too long of a wait.Luckily the bathroom lines werent nearly as long as the bar. We waited outside while getting in for a little too long, but I feel like thats to be expected.

Really awesome music venue! They get great acts and the atmosphere is awesome. Staff can be rude sometimes but overall it is a good place.

I and my friend got robbed here! We had separate tabs and the same drinks were added to both cards. While we had like may be 6-7 vodka soda, we ended up paying 180$. Also, you have to pay cover to get in and then you are treated like cattle and served in plastic cups. Avoid this place guys.

I went on a Wednesday, which according to their calendar is now bass/dubstep night. They brought a big headliner into a small venue for a small price, so it was packed with not a lot of room to move around. Sound was good, visuals were lacking, security line was short. I get the the feeling the opening acts were told to keep it mellow before the headliner, as many clubs unfortunately do, and the small size is a big issue on big nights, but overall I had a good time and got my moneys worth.

Used to be the old Lotus lounge. New layout is...okay. The new scene just isn’t as LIT as it once was. Go check it out. Write a review too lol

AH-MAY-ZING!!! I come up from Roanoke to see DJs whenever I can. Drinks can be pricey but that seems to be the normal for that area. I dont drink much if any at shows, so this is not a concern for me. It is an intimate amazing place where you can get up close and personal to world class entertainers. A+++++

So Im here to see deadmau5 and the staff are untenable. Yelling at us, being so extra. Completely ruining the night. This is a first. Dont ever come here if its for someone famous. You will be treated like a child who has an overbearing mother. Other nights are a completely different story but only the ones running those parties will get my five stars.

Worst stuff i ever seen in my life am international guy who works as cabin crew and dont carry my passport ( security issues ) and i dont know that i should bring my passport with me because i already enter many clubs around the world with my drive licenses and picture of my passport but they still act rude and unfriendly. Its my first time to see people acting like this in my lifeI never wrote bad comment before but this stuff need to be changed !!

Sound check is absolutely amazing. The show started at 10 p.m we got there about 25 minutes early and the line wasnt that long at all even if it were long I think you could still get a good spot near the stage. The drinks were priced really well nothing out of the normal for DC. I went there for a DJ set and the sound was absolutely amazing. The bar is about fifty or so feet from the front of the stage so its a really short walk and if you are in the front of the stage you can easily navigate your way to the barn the Patriots that were there when I was there were really awesome I went to see krewella by the way. I would definitely recommend this place for a DJ set because the sound is amazing, the prices are good, and even though it looks small its pretty spacious.

I had a bumping good time here listening to dubstep, had a great conversation with a bartender, and would definitely come back for more.

Might not be the biggest club, but that place is so perfect for shuffling or going wild with some dub

Small but great club, chill vibe. Great bartenders and staff.

Worst bar experience. Dont go outside because they wont let you back in. Horrible bouncers. Go spend your money somewhere where they appreciate your business.

First time being here, took my niece here for her 21 turn up. It was cool the music was okay DJ just kept playing Drake. That was so annoying after a certain hour it started to get lit. A great crowd bartenders definitely making them drinks right. Bathroom attendant was cool. Ladiea dont be trifling bring some ones so you can tip!!!!!

This club is pretty great. The space is beautiful and there are girls dancing on top of tables, the space is large and there are a lot of people that turn up over the weekends. We went with a bunch of friends who knew the people there so it was cool

For a small club (capacity is like 500 people), it packs great sound system (read somewhere its like 80,000W?). The small size means that there really arent any bad spots from which to see a performance . The sound-design means theres no bad spots to hear a performance.The sound-designers did great job - with strategic-placement of sound attenuation panels as well as extra, rear-facing monitors at intervals between the stage and rear of the room. Give the long, narrow layout, these design-decisions are critical. The result is no dead spots and no weird echoing or other odd audio annoyances. So, kudos to the sound-designer.Weve been here for a few shows, now, since its opening. Been to nights where it was pretty much dead (Black Gummy doesnt have near the draw he otherwise might when Armin van Buuren is playing Echostage). Been to nights where it was packed (was barely room to dance when Claude VonStroke played). Either way, its a good space to see a show in.Prior to last night, I probably would have given it five stars. Uber dropped us off a bit before midnight. There were people in a longish line outside and the line wasnt moving (both - particularly the latter - unusual for any of the nights weve gone). We queued up. Wife was dressed in club attire and, because wed always just gone right in (or only waited very briefly in a smoothy-run, short- to medium-length line), didnt really have anything for the cold breeze that was blowing on the line. For the first fifteen minutes, the line didnt really move. The doorman claimed that they were at capacity and that, for more people to come in, some would have to leave. This seemed a bit incongruous, given that tickets were sold online ahead of the event, which begs the question how/why did you sell more tickets than legal capacity of the venue. People started getting cranky and the door guy started getting snotty. Telling people whove already paid for tickets you should have gotten here earlier and well, the VIP tables are available is not what Id call either good customer service or even something slightly resembling an appropriate response. Compounding this was the fact that once we *were* let in, the place was less crowded than other nights wed been there. So, other than, just to piss people off, why would you claim capacity issues and why would you antagonize your customers?Another gripe: why would you have an EP release party, but then only have the headlining act play an hour long set. Plus, youre a club in DC: why would you have your headliner end their one-hour set 01:30??? Who knows, maybe that was a promoter problem on that part. Whatever: it comes off as kind of busch league. If I wanted to be closing out a bar tab before 02:00, Id be going to clubs in Virginia.

I and my friend paid $40 as a cover charge to get in. The 2 guys behind the front desk did not give us any receipts or our ticket to get in. Instead, they asked us to get a stamp and get inside. I think this is not the right way of doing business. They are not registering the income that way stealing money from the owner or whoever responsible for the club. Bad employees!

WORST service! I recently went for Shiba San on St. Paddys with a group of girls and guys. The DJ and sound system were great but the lighting (uncoordinated Lasers, tiny screen behind the DJ), special effects (random puffs of smoke released every 15 min) and most importantly the service was SO terrible, I’ll probably never go back. The one brunette serving the side of the bar farthest from the stage was not only slow (in many ways) but made terrible drinks. Our group ordered different kinds too bc we assumed maybe she just happened to get it wrong. I was only drinking water and when I went to get some I waited serveral minutes for her to finish talking-not serving- this group of guys. I saw her try on this one guys sunglasses and pose for him, and eventually decided I wasn’t thirsty anymore, at least not as much as her! I get it, she needs all the tips she can get but clearly she wasn’t very smart bc she had forgotten that if you serve more people you tend to get more tips. Take your time and money to the Anthem (or any other venue) where you’re not constantly reminded of that overcrowded college basement party with bad drinks.

Dear ManagerI would like to express my concerns regarding the poor management of your club staff during the night of 1/24/2019 (DJ Low Steppa).I reached the club around 11 PM and opened a bar tab. They kept my ID and credit card BOTH for keeping the tab open. I just had 2 drinks in total but I had forgotten to take it back when I left the club at 2 AM. As soon as I remembered I came back around 2:20 AM but they had closed everything up and didnt even let me in to check. They said it had closed 10 mins ago so I cant go in, but technically the club was supposed to close at 3 AM. Next morning I left multiple voicemails around 8 AM and 9 AM about my concerns but no one called me back. Finally, I got in touch with Mr. Matty around 5PM and explained everything about my lost card and ID. He said that he couldnt find any card or ID under my name that was turned in by the bar counter. They just kept saying that they would call me back when they find it but they never called back. I called them back again at 9 PM this time it was Alex who gave me the same message. She said we havent found anything but if it turns up again they would call me. They never called back again and later I started seeing transactions from my card. I am 100% sure that I had not dropped my card anywhere else but they also kept telling me that its your mistake, I might have dropped it somewhere else. This was highly disrespectful as I am really aware of my things and I was sure that I had never closed my tab so my belongings should have been at the bar counter.I still havent received any call from soundcheck and I believe that not enough was being done to make sure the belongings of the customers are kept safe. I am a Level 9 google contributor and I am never ever going to recommend highly of your club to my any associates or close acquaintances. I hope this would motivate you to make some changes in your club card and ID keeping policy so that you make sure you dont lose your customers belongings.Thank you.

These hours arent even real, left us all dropped off from an Uber in the cold and they were closed. Fake news

These are FAKE reviews. Do not go here it was not fun at all and it’s not worth the money.

4 stars for the venue. 1 star for the obvious underpoor from bartenders for drinks

Soundcheck is the best. A very legit EDM venue. They get great shows and they do a great job with them. Fun eclectic crowd, doesnt often get overly crowded but always feels crowded enough to have a good energy. Bartenders take good care of us. Bathrooms are fine. Coat check line is usually long at the end of the night but rarely out of control.

Why are the bouncers that were working Jan 31st so obnoxious, and arrogant??? I used to love this club, and now I want a refund on all future tickets I have already paid for so I never have a reason to return... Blah... Im sure Mija was a great show. Its too bad it didnt happen at a venue with friendly staff at the door.

Great event, great sound, the vibe of the place was off the chart lived it up!!

Bouncers here are the worst I have experienced in the DC area. Will try and try to double charge people at the door, especially if you step out for a smoke.

Do not go. The bouncers are absolutely the worst and will not let you in even if you have tickets...

Soundcheck has a crazy sound system and stays booking incredible artists. The staff and vibe are the best in DC... If you love music, you will not be let down!

Its very small. A great night club venue I usually go to echostage. Better lights there. The floor is great to dance on at sound check though

Great sound, great artists. Gets loud and crowded, in a good way. Its always freezing inside at the beginning of the night. Crazy bathroom attendant lady makes for a hilarious ladies bathroom experience.

Not from DC, came here to enjoy a night but was very let down by terrible service staring from horrible bouncers and ending with 14 dollar shots what a joke! Very dead inside don’t go. Save your money, this place is a joke!

We reserved Soundcheck for a private event. They were super flexible and easy to work with before and during!

Bartenders were great and friendly so was the security staff. The bouncers outside however said there was a $10.00 cover charge. We just moved here not long ago so we believed that even though the club had just opened. They pocketed our money. Honestly if we were more in tune with the situation I wouldnt have gone in because of there sketch service. We found out from the manager its free before 11. Be aware if youre told there is a cover before 11 they are lying to pocket your money.

Love this Venue!!! From the moment you walk in the door it feels like a great place to get your Groove ONNNN!!!!

Smaller venue but very clean and upscale. Lots of great shows come through here.

Amazing venue! :) Love the place! Great bar service, but be careful with your Tab, it can rack up fast.

Love Soundcheck! New artists every week and a different style every night keep it amazing!

If I could give 0 starts I would... my friends got roofied here and ended up getting an ambulance ride and woke up in the emergency room not remembering a thing (they are also 18)

Spectacular sound system, creative and unique DJs performing, and beautiful staff. Can’t ask for much else!

Great vibes, great space, overall amazing! If your ever in D.C. make your way to soundcheck - you wont regret it

The perfect blend of low key(No dress code most nights except Sat) and posh lounge, but the sound system is absolutely incredible!

The staff are upbeat, friendly, and fast. The sound quality is the best in the city, and every time Ive been there, Ive had an amazing time

Came here to grab a drink one night, I like the different floors, but front door security is too rude/uptight and just starts you off with a bad vibe before you even get in. Can be fun if you are with a lot of friends. I just dont like the staff. Bartenders are always asking for a tip etc... Feels like you cant relax in this place without getting pestered by staff. It can get crowded weekends, so I would stay away if you arent in a mood to deal with a lot of wild people.

I dont write many reviews but this place deserves the recognition. Went to see Michael Woods last month and couldnt imagine a better time. Michael interacted with the crowd the entire night, security/staff/bartenders were all very friendly, sound quality and lighting all perfect. Well done, will be back.

Turning into one of the most epic venues in the country. Its becoming tradition for big time DJs rolling through the east coast to stop by and spin in the nations capital to a small but dedicated crowd. lighting is crazy good, bar right there, sound is top notch also, although be mindful when close to the front speakers theyll knock your face off

Had a great time, definitely my favorite place to go out on a Saturday night. Great dj and great mix of people...

I have only been here once, but I saw Morgan Page and had a table right next to his DJ booth!!! It was lit, highly recommend!

Bouncers price gouge and demand bribes for random reasons. They also shoved me for no reason. I have never felt so mistreated as a client.

Might not be the biggest club, but that place is so perfect for shuffling or going wild with some dubstep!!.. bass nation is always insane!!

Small and cozy, nice events (You pay for drinks ).

Great sound system and excellent bookings, always fun

Maybe it was bad luck or because it was a Friday night, but the music was quite boring. Also I think women with tiny outfits working the bar is demeaning.The staff was however very friendly.

Great club, it hosts a large variety of events, catering to many musical tastes of the area.

First time coming here and saw Tiesto Spin. The sound system was awesome. Had a great time and will be back again to see Markus Shulz!

My first time at this venue was 12/03/2016. I had a good time, the DJs were great, I had no problem with the security, etc. People acknowledged you whether they knew you or not. I think the DJs stage or booth is too small, and should be a little larger with more space to move maneuver. That being said the DJs and others who were able to get their stuff done which was well received. Now as for the bar, the bartenders were very pleasant, but I think its sneaky to not have a price list, I purchased an Apple Cider and a Vodka with Red Bull for someone else and that was $20.00. I am not in anyway being cheap although if one is that is fine, but it;s good to have an idea of pricing before you purchase anything. I would go again, but will be careful what I purchase. I will give it one star for now and perhaps write a new review the next time I attend.

Great sound system and even better music artists! I cant stay away!

Went Ima Saturfay night and had a great time. Perfect mix of hip hop and reggae.

Awesome venue! Went there to see Vicetone and wasnt disappointed

Great newer club, good layout with a bar in the back.

Always good. But after tonight. Meh.

Superb sound system, easy to get to, great DJ lineups.

$11 for weak rail drinks is getting greedy

Famous DJs in a smaller setting. Bring earplugs

Great nightclub to chill and dance with friends

I am giving one star just for drinks. Terrible night club, catastrophic. If you from the carribean, or some other city around like New York, Boston etc... You know what a nightclub dance seems and sound like.... Dont go to that club on Thursday-Friday... No hip hop-no Reaggae, its only techno. Crazy people Great location but Dj was extremely sucks. I repeat dnt go to that club. You will end up asking for a refund no jokes

Very nice club. Worth the extra cash.

Smaller venue with good visuals (lighting, led board, lazers, etc) and a decent sound system. The crowd and the vibe here totally depends on the night and the party, with different nights hosting edm, trap, dubstep, trance, or rap djs/acts. Similar in size to the second floor room of Flash and about 1/8 as big as Echostage, the smaller size can result in a great vibe when the crowd is all dancing together. Small dj booth up front with led board behind it and a bar running along the right side of the room. The back of the room has a small chill out area for sitting down and resting. Crowd is usually similar to Echostage in that it is usually a mix of dedicated, knowledgeable fans of the dj performing and also just groups of people going out together for a fun night who might not know the dj or the music.

Pretty but small and the have good djs

Love it here, great vibes but a little expensive

Cozy and modern. Dont miss it!, the experience also includes great DJs

These hours are not accurate fake news

For a younger crowd, tables are crowded. Good music.

The open bar they advertise on Eventbrite is a lie. Went there with a friend on Saturday, bartender said she didnt know what we were talking about. STOP WITH THE FALSE ADVERTISING! Never going back to Soundcheck.

Terrible service, security guard Mohmmed ruined our night because one of my friends fell down. 1 star

Worst club. Can’t even dance to their music. Not lit even on a Friday and I paid 20 bucks for noting. Y’all suck

Obviously fake reviews

Place is terrible, security named mohamed kicked me out for falling into someone

Whack DJ

Awesome place

Good sound system

Great spot

Great place to dance

Its lit

Great place for EDM

Great venue small

Smells like a toilet, sound is okay.

Soundsystem lacks a bit

Thumbs down to the music, and the VIP experience.

Closed on Friday???

Latin, hip hop

Clean venue. Bouncers and staff were friendly.

Awesome sounds, beautifully lit.

Awesome vibe

Do not go to this place.

Great place for concerts and dancing
