Across from the Zoo. Friendly neighborhood pub with great pub food (salads, burgers, hand cut fries, hand cut onion rings & chocolate cake too)/full menu! Outdoor sidewalk patio with umbrella tables alongside Connecticut Avenue. This is a popular jam and you never know who's going to show up - sometimes traveling musicians! Big Boy Little Band opens the night, playing traditional blues for an hour, and then the blues jammers take the stage. Makes for a great night of music and the audience is appreciative! "This guy's a real blues player." - Huey Lewis.

Zoo Bar was voted by City Paper readers as one of the best blues bars in the DC area- come see why!

Check out the host band, The Big Boy Little Band - one of the area's best traditional blues bands!
