It’s Soul City Monday, tonight at The War Room.

Come out and watch local B-boys and B-girls heat up the dance floor to Planet Rock and other old school breakbeats.

Taking the spot of the now-defunct Blu Video Bar, The War Room is the new hot digs on Capitol Hill offering a swell space for serious breakdancers, funky dancers and folks who just like to bob their heads to good hiphop music.

With a meaningful slogan declaring “Peace Is Our Profession,” The War Room offers a cozy ambience, sufficient dance floor, cushy drinking lounge, hip art displays and a fabulous rooftop deck well-suited for summer night sippings.

Spiff up your nylon jumpsuit, put on your Kangol hat, lace up your retro Adidas, and roll in fresh.

The War Room is located at 722 E. Pike Street on Capitol Hill. Info: www.thewarroomseattle.com.
