We threw four parties there last year before moving to our new, slightly bigger venue: True Story Tavern in upper Adams Morgan. Just wanted to plug Dahlak as a potential venue and let folks know that Daniel (owner) recently remodeled the bar to be more efficient at handling larger volumes of people, and at the end of 2008, he upgraded the sound system. Final result: Awesome place for throwing great-sounding small to mid-size DJ parties! I throw a a monthly alt-gay dance party called MIXTAPE and, just like Fatback, we started at Dahlak.
