901 Wharf St SW, Washington, DC, 20024
The Anthem sits at 901 Wharf Street SW on the District Wharf waterfront. Official Anthem directions place the venue about four blocks from L’Enfant Plaza Metro (Blue, Orange, Green, Silver, and Yellow lines) and about four blocks from Waterfront Metro on the Green Line; The Wharf’s transit guide instead describes Waterfront as about one block away and L’Enfant Plaza as about an eight-minute walk. A free District Wharf / SW neighborhood shuttle picks up from those Metro areas and drops off at The Wharf / in front of The Anthem. Metro Access pickup and drop-off is at 900 Maine Avenue SW. Virginia Railway Express also serves L’Enfant Plaza.
