In segregated Washington, this was the "Black Broadway," the "Colored Man's Connecticut Avenue." Although whites were not restricted from coming into this area (and in fact, some did come, so as not to pass up some of the best entertainers in the country), the area was made up entirely of African American residents.
Banned from the downtown entertainment venues, fl people found their only place for recreation in the city were these clubs in the neighborhoods in which they lived.
It is a club that caters largely to the young fl urban professionals of the area, the music played is primarily a mix of R&B and hip-hop.
