Clubs in Washington, DC

MIA Lounge

Club / Lounge

Party Earth Review The flush of neon leaking from the entrance and the prominent sign featuring the silhouette of a provocatively posed lady in place of the “I” make Miami-styled lounge MIA hard to miss. Then there’s the six-foot rabbit. More on that later. Catering to a young crowd of clubbers dressed to impress ... more

Ultrabar

Club / Lounge

Party Earth Review Even with six bars and four DJ booths spread over five floors, Ultrabar still isn’t the largest club in the city – but the hundred-deep line of partiers that forms out front every Saturday suggests it may be the most popular. Those lucky enough to be waved through the arched entryway find themselves in the high-ceilinged ... more

George

Bar / Club

Party Earth Review Tucked away on a small back street, George is a hidden gem in Georgetown, at least for those lucky enough to be on the guest list. That shouldn’t imply that the venue’s a picture of opulence – it’s quite casual inside – but the always-packed scene still hosts a veritable Who’s Who of DC debutantes, Capitol Hill kingpins ... more

Fur Nightclub

Club

Party Earth Review Though located in a rather obscure part of DC that’s hardly dripping – or even moist – with nightlife options, Fur Nightclub manages to draw in big names and bigger crowds. Sure, patrons will find the requisite aren’t-you-a-little-old-to-be-here types, but with four dance floors, seven bars, and two mezzanines overlooking ... more

Dodge City

Bar / Club

Party Earth Review Within spittin’ distance of a slew of popular concert venues on always-busy U Street, little Dodge City brings in a big regular crowd of music lovers and a diverse mix of sports fans, casual clubbers, and anyone hankering for a decent pint. A more laid-back vibe is the norm on the ground floor, where DJs spin ... more

The Park at Fourteenth

Bar / Club / Lounge / Restaurant

Party Earth Review Located just blocks from the White House, The Park at Fourteenth is an upscale club that seduces its stylish patrons with four stories of fashionable fun. It is not uncommon to see celebrities and pro athletes waltzing in through the red-carpeted entrance, making their way past stern, unyielding bouncers and block-long ... more

Black Cat

Bar / Club / Live Music Venue

Party Earth Review A U Street Corridor staple since 1993, Black Cat is a cornerstone of the DC music and nightlife scene, and continues to feature an incredibly diverse mix of nightly acts. Lesser-known bands and DJs perform on the knee-high stage in the Backstage Concert Room, a purple-hued and sparsely decorated ground floor space that ... more

Barcöde

Bar / Club / Lounge / Restaurant

Party Earth Review Popular since its opening in late 2010, Barcöde quickly gathered a loyal following due in large part to its multifaceted combination of flashy modern décor, big bargain drink specials, and dress code/cover charge-free club scene. Surrounded by office buildings, the venue hosts the corporate crowd for lunch when business ... more

Modern

Club / Lounge

Party Earth Review Formerly a sports bar, Modern is now an upscale club – and one of the first to take root in an area better known for its pubs and taverns. Few jocks remain at this subterranean den, whose intimate size and varying theme nights attract a lively mix of dance-happy patrons. In the lounge area, plush white ottomans surround ... more

Eden

Bar / Club / Lounge

Party Earth Review Although the garden of Eden is described as a luscious enclave where man was taught to be fruitful and multiply, it’s doubtful the prettied-up Adams and Eves at Eden nightclub need any such education. A bamboo-fronted bar, faux water features, and emerald-lit walls lined with grass create a different kind of paradise in ... more

GrandCentral

Bar / Club / Restaurant

Party Earth Review A cavernous cornerstone of the Adams Morgan barhopping scene, GrandCentral welcomes a rowdy crowd of sports fans, booty shakers, and cover charge haters. The barrel-vaulted ceilings modeled after its namesake New York train station provide the venue with a motif, continued by the painted stone patterns featured on all three ... more

L2 Lounge

Club / Lounge

Party Earth Review The line of text in L2 Lounge’s membership application is clear: “There are no free memberships. It doesn't matter who you are or who you think you know.” Such is the great equalizer of this ultra-modern Georgetown lounge, which caters to its members first and anyone willing to pay a $20–$30 cover charge second – but only ... more

DC Clubs Overview

GrandCentral - Bar | Club | Restaurant in DC

It may be all donkeys and elephants on Capitol Hill, but clubs in Washington, DC are not so limited.

The government’s presence essentially doubles the city’s population every day with its massive workforce, but as night falls, that workforce needs to work off some steam. The chichi clans often stick to Dupont Circle, dining at an upscale restaurant with political bigwigs before venturing off to a glitzy nightclub nearby or Downtown.

The District’s lively gay club scene is also centered on Dupont Circle, especially along P Street and 17th Street, while college-aged revelers hit up the crazy nightlife scenes that dominate the divey clubs in Adams Morgan.

The underground DC club scene thrives along the U Street Corridor, home to everything from smoky jazz clubs to bumping electronica-filled dance clubs, while the privileged kids in Georgetown have their own healthy supply of list-only clubs that demand ancestral pedigree over cash.

H Street is a great place to let loose at kitschy themed clubs, while even the most exclusive spots in town often have nights that open the club up to DC’s large student population, giving everyone a taste of the good life.

From grungy to gold-plated, Washington, DC clubs have it all! And where else are you more likely to be popping and locking on the dance floor with a senator next to you than at a DC club?
