theUNDERGROUND is the basement room inside 56 ByWard, a three-room complex in the heart of the ByWard Market. It operates as the dedicated house and techno space within the building, separate from the adjacent Berlin Nightclub and KRUSH Cocktail Bar upstairs. The room draws a crowd that came specifically for the music rather than the social scene — small, subterranean, and focused on electronic genres.
Open Friday 10pm–2am and Saturday 9pm–2am, so hours are tight. Being the basement-level room in a multi-venue building means you can move between theUNDERGROUND and Berlin on the same night. Expect a smaller, more music-focused crowd than the main Berlin room — house and techno with resident DJs most weekends.
The dress code at The Underground is simple—wear stylish, club-appropriate clothing. Think trendy and fashionable outfits like you’d wear to a night out. Avoid wearing things like athletic wear or flip-flops, as these may not be allowed. The venue has an upscale vibe, so dressing smartly will make sure you fit in with the crowd.
The Underground is a 19+ venue, meaning you need to be at least 19 years old to enter. This ensures that the crowd is mature and the atmosphere is just right for a fun night out.
Bottle service is available at The Underground for those looking for a VIP experience. You can order premium bottles of spirits like vodka, tequila, gin, rum, whiskey, and sparkling wine. Prices for bottles range from $80 to $700, depending on the type of drink. With bottle service, you'll get a reserved table, priority service, and a special place to enjoy the night with friends, away from the bar crowds.
