Party Earth Review Patrons looking for an escape from the typical turbulence of Adams Morgan will find it at Bourbon, a homey bar and club that brings a bit of Kentucky charm to this college-heavy strip of 18th Street. Rich wood floors and dimly-lit sconces and chandeliers create a mellow vibe, especially during the week when everyone from ... more

Party Earth Review Housed in a former mortuary – and possibly haunted, according to some bartenders – The Rock and Roll Hotel is a notoriously high-energy concert hall that is anything but dead. Eccentric yet classy, the two-story venue hosts locally and nationally recognized hip-hop, indie, punk, and electronic artists that draw a clientele ... more

Party Earth Review Possibly the best-dressed nightspot on K Street, Josephine attracts big name DJs to the decks and a stylish clientele of urban cool cats and preppy scensters who show up each night to jostle for position at the velvet ropes. Those who gain entrance will find themselves on a wide staircase leading down to a 6,500 ... more

Party Earth Review A popular neighborhood haunt for artsy post-grads and young professionals, Café Saint-Ex may fly high with its aviation-themed décor, but the vibe is considerably more bohemian – in fact, a chalked sign near the door respectfully asks that “all collars be turned down prior to entry.” Named after Antoine de Saint-Exupery ... more

Party Earth Review Often touted as the best place to catch a concert in the city, 9:30 Club consistently packs its 1,200-capacity hall by hosting shows ranging from big-name acts and DJs to up-and-comers, noise bands, and everything in between. Long before the door opens, eager audiophiles line up outside the brick façade and unmarked door ... more

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

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

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

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 ... more

Party Earth Review A biker’s joint with an upscale twist, Tattoo Bar may sport the requisite dark interior, industrial décor, and body art implied by its name, but it’s by no means a dive. Girls in sexy dresses strut through the hanging bike chains in the entry, checking their reflections in the mirrored wall before sidling up to the sleek ... more

DC Clubs Overview
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?
