Dupont Underground
Dupont Underground is an arts organization and event venue in a disused underground trolley tunnel beneath Dupont Circle, listed at 19 Dupont Cir NW. It has a 4.5-star Google rating across 354 reviews.
Reviewers describe a roughly 100-meter tunnel lined with rotating exhibitions, murals, graffiti and video art, ending at a small stage with seating for around 100 to 200 people; comedy shows, concerts and cultural events are held there. Exhibits change frequently. Practical notes from reviews: the entrance is beside the road on the Starbucks side, the tunnel is dark with boards over the old tracks, it can feel warm with little air circulation, some events are very loud, and there is a bar that is not always open.
Regular gallery hours are 11 AM–5 PM Friday through Sunday; it is closed Monday through Thursday except for scheduled events.
