Its pretty big, not huge. I saw Gwar there 97, and got kicked out of a Rollins Band show a week later for taking a SIP of beer(I was 20)

SO it closed and them reopened elsewhere?

in the 70s there was a club at 930 F street called the atlantis.
it closed, then reopened as the 9:30 Club around 1980, i think.
it was small and awkward from what i remember.
watch that minor threat video - you'll see giant pillars right in front of the stage.
anyway, it moved to a bigger venue (which was also a different music venue previously) in the mid-90s.

That club is one that I always heard about. Like how's I'd hear about Coney Island High, Unitarian Church, CBGB's and Gillman Street. No idea what
any of them are like but as a kid who is in the midwest those places always seemed like Meccas for HC and Punk Shows.
