Is it safe to attend events?

Very dangerous. Avoid going out at all costs. Death is everywhere.

How's the parking ?? Pricey ??

Mark Jackson | Oct 2, 2018

The theater does not have a parking lot. Parking is street, or find a local garage/lot. The metro station is directly across the street. I aways take the metro or Uber -- I'm sure parking is possible, but you will need to give yourself plenty of time to drive around (or research a garage/lot ahead of time). Its a very busy area with restaurants, bars, students, people who live there, etc., and street parking would not be super easy to count on, but not impossible if you go several blocks out and are patient and read posted signs (whew!)

Is this an area that is safe for two ladies

Marguerite (Margo) | Oct 2, 2019

Yes, my girlfriend and I went for a night out. Stay together because it is easy to lose sight of each other in the crowd

Went to a late concert with my teenage daughter and saw nothing that made me the least bit concerned walking around the neighborhood after the show.

Do they remove the seats for any shows or is it all seated all the time? I purchased a GA ticket for sts9. Does that just mean first come first serve seats?

ALEX KACHALOV | Oct 2, 2019
Glenn Crenshaw | Oct 2, 2019

GA means general admission. The seats are first come first served.

Yes

What is a good restaurant nearby? Doesn't have to be fancy. Looking for a nice meal and a couple of drinks before the show.

Gina Adams | Oct 2, 2019

Ben's Chili Bowl is literally right next-door to the Lincoln, and is an historic landmark D.C. restaurant. GREAT menu, especially (natch) their chili, half-smokes Chili-dogs, burgers, etc. A little more "fancy" (but still chill) Ben's Next Door-- which is, yes, next to Ben's Chili Bowl and is a bit more upscale, warm, wood-floored room. "Finer" traditional Southern food like ribs, fried chicken, beer and cocktails, etc. For a whole different vibe and cuisine, try Matchbox Pizza 1901 14th St NW (2 blocks from the Lincoln).

Is it first come seating

Mikel Acosta | Oct 2, 2019
Joe Kirby | Oct 2, 2019

Steel Pulse for New Years Eve 2018 was all open-seating (so first-come..) Everyone was up and dancing all around the place, so "assigned" seats would've been a drag and a hassle. 🍺

Interested in Rick Astlry concert. Tickets appear to be “general admission” so does that mean there is no seat assignment? If so how far in advance do you need to get there for decent seats? TIA

Todd Farrand | Oct 2, 2018
W Chalkley | Oct 2, 2018

Last 2 shows we went to we got there after doors opened and got great seats. first 15 rows. It is my new favorite venue.
