Re)Discover AMP

With a great line-up of artists and fresh new menu, AMP is sure to become your favorite spot for a night out!

If you’re a fan of jazz, roots, and global music, don’t miss the reimagined experience at AMP by Strathmore in North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose neighborhood. Placing a premium on authentic live music experiences, the 144-seat lounge brings together great music and creative cuisine.

With a more spacious seating arrangement, delicious menus, and an exciting new lineup, AMP is open and better than ever—showcasing artists that will truly take advantage of the ambiance and intimacy of the penthouse listening room.

Headlining the stage this season are jazz musicians Loston Harris, crooning the night away with selections from the Great American Songbook, and Halie Loren, the singer-songwriter with smooth vocals and sophisticated lyrics. Taking the stage in December is folk singer Anna Egge, who recently released a virtual, two-sided single that Rufus Wainwright called “beautiful” and Anais Mitchell hailed as “Perfect!!! Incredible.” For a global sound, experience Connecting the Dots, featuring a trio of Artist in Residence (AIR) alums combining their talents for a night of international fusion. In addition to the amazing touring artists that will be on stage, AMP is now home to the incredibly talented cohort of the 2023 AIR class, who will perform each month from January through June.

AMP menus are curated by new Executive Chef LaTasha Stevenson. Dining options are fresh, sustainable, and sharable, including “jazzy” crab salsa, poco chicken salad bites, and delectable desserts. Menus are paired with innovative cocktails, wine, and local craft beers. Patrons can once again enjoy a truly “audible, edible” experience and great new music right at Pike & Rose!
