From a press release:
“Today, Hoffman & Associates, a leading developer of innovative mixed-use and residential communities across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, including the $3.6 billion Washington, DC waterfront neighborhood The Wharf, along with its partner D.C. United, announced that the newest location of the one-of-a-kind entertainment concept Brooklyn Bowl is coming to Parcel B at Audi Field, which is located just outside of the stadium between Gate A and Gate B. The first retail concept announced for this dynamic mixed-use development, Brooklyn Bowl will span two floors and anchor the double-sided retail and entertainment corridor between Parcel B and Audi Field, activating the center of the neighborhood with an energy that will enhance the space and bring people from across the city and region.
“When we made the decision to invest in a stadium in downtown Washington, DC we were very intentional in our efforts to acquire additional land surrounding Audi Field to further develop the Southwest neighborhood of the city,” said Jason Levien, Co-Chairman and CEO of D.C. United. “Brooklyn Bowl is one of the most vibrant destinations for entertainment in the marketplace and we’re excited to introduce them to the community as a neighbor to Audi Field.”
Brooklyn Bowl DC will be the first location in the DC metro area and the fifth location for this genre-defying entertainment concept, which opened in Brooklyn, New York in 2009. Featuring a 1,200 person capacity concert venue, Brooklyn Bowl DC’s 38,000 square-foot location will connect the ground and second floor, bringing to the District a broad mix of sought-after live music programmed by Live Nation, 14 lanes of bowling, a craft bar and a menu curated by New York City’s Blue Ribbon Restaurant Group. With the incredible proximity of the bowling lanes and concert stage, Brooklyn Bowl will offer a unique experience of enjoying a show while eating, drinking and bowling with friends. (more…)

“Join DO’A on a journey of soulful music, multi-lingual in all of the senses. With a deep and lush voice delivered in a collage of sounds that are uniquely hers, DO’A will transport the audience to a place of music in its purest form.
DO’A began playing and singing early on under the guidance of her mother, a concert pianist. She later taught herself the guitar. DO’A seeks beauty in all forms: she is comfortable as much with abstract algebra as with playing Chopin and singing Bossa Nova. (more…)
