In 2005, District restaurateur Joe Englert embarked on a mission to transform three blocks of H Street Northeast from a row of vacant buildings and carryout food joints into a happening bar scene. His plan included Rock & Roll Hotel, the bright blue bar and live music venue, located at 1353 H St. NE. Its downstairs stage has since drawn local bands, on-the-verge acts and droves of concert-goers to the Atlas District, and it has become a nightlife staple in the transforming neighborhood.

Rock & Roll Hotel commemorates seven years this week, with a music showcase that begins tonight.

California punk rockers Ceremony bring their jagged, hardcore sound to the venue Monday. The Bay Area quintet has released four studio albums since forming in 2004. Their most recent, “Zoo,” explores punk and post-punk traditions with tense rhythms, ringing power chords and Ross Farrar’s future primitive vocals. Opening up the show will be Barge, GIVE and Ed Schrader’s Music Beat. Tickets are $12, and the music starts at 8:30.
