A Storied History

Shaw has been a center of Black culture since shortly after the Civil War.

Entertainment is (literally) around every corner, where you’ll find live music venues like the 9:30 Club and Howard Theatre, nightclubs, neighborhood staple eateries like Ben’s Chili Bowl, a speakeasy (or two), breweries, ice cream and coffee shops, and even a brand-new movie theater. From cold brew to craft brews, it’s all right here.

Near It All

Shaw is a short walk to many of D.C.’s other most exciting neighborhoods, including Adams Morgan, U Street, and Dupont Circle.
