Party Earth Review: Rhino Bar & Pumphouse normally kicks off the night with a traditional sports bar feel, as friendly groups of neighborhood sports lovers sit glued to the couple of dozen TVs and root for any team but the Yankees. The ground floor saloon fills up quickly on game nights, with hordes of young male professionals and the occasional girlfriend huddling around high-top tables to devour twenty-five-cent wings and pitchers of beer beneath the watchful gaze of the giant rhino hanging over the bar. That homey vibe gets kicked out the door later on, though, as a much rowdier crowd of preppy Georgetown boys, fashionable girls, and college kids begins to trickle in, heading upstairs to the loft to pound a few two-dollar beers at the shiny metal bar and vie for the chance to dance it up with that suddenly attractive someone across the room. Although the space provides some funky black sofas and a dozen TVs for those who want to hang out, the focus is more on partying – and once the DJ kicks off downstairs and the older patrons filter out around midnight, the young bloods reclaim the saloon, turning it into a gyrating, booze-fueled dance hall. With its sporty vibe that often turns into a drunken circus, Rhino Bar & Pumphouse charges up the Georgetown night.
