 A Long Tradition of Sports
Griffith Stadium, pictured at left, was home not only to the Washington
Senators but also to many teams from adjacent Howard University.
Though the stadium was demolished decades ago, Nellie’s Sports
Bar will bring back the historic element of sports entertainment
to the greater U Street community.  An Historic Building
Nellie’s Sports Bar is located in the former Addison Scurlock
Photography Studio. Scurlock was best known for his impressive portraits
of Washington’s African American elite during the glory days
of the U Street corridor. The lighting that was required to produce
these fabulous portraits no doubt inspired the beautiful high ceilings
of our building. Other historic attributes of our building include:
~ Authentic Griffith Stadium
sinks
~ Antique showcases and historic photographs ~ Elegant pub-room walls and bar-back mirrors ~ Eighteenth-century lighting fixtures from the Baltimore Train Station ~ Unique signage, such as our “open” sign and our vintage scoreboard  U Street: A Legacy of Entertainment The U Street area of has long been known as one of
Washington, DC’s most vibrant entertainment districts.
Duke Ellington, along with many other notable
entertainers, spent much of their lives here. Nellie’s
Sports Bar features a performance space that will serve
as a venue for all kinds of sports-related entertainment;
we also offer a stadium-sized TV for larger events in
addition to many large plasma-screen TVs.
 A Central Location
Nellie’s Sports Bar is located on the corner of 9th & U Streets, NW in
Washington, DC, one block from the U Street/African American Civil
