Lounges in Washington, DC

Napoleon Bistro & Lounge

Ambient / Bar / Bottle Service

Party Earth Review Savory crêpes, champagne cocktails, and sultry décor bring a French flare and upscale vibe to Napoleon Bistro & Metropolitan Lounge, setting it apart from the raucous twenty-something scene that often dominates Adams Morgan. Royal tones of black, gold, and red, coupled with intricate emblems and coats of arms, grace the ... more

Eden

18 and over / 20s / 30s / Bar / Beer / DJ

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

Tuscana Lounge

Bottle Service / Club / DJ / Dance

Party Earth Review A swanky Italian restaurant by day, Tuscana West transforms after 11pm on Saturdays into Tuscana Lounge, and the stains on the dining room floor-turned-dance space are much more likely to be sweat and cocktails than primavera sauce. Illuminated by the bright purple glow through the large windows, dolled up divas ready to ... more

MIA Lounge

Blazers / Bottle Service / EDM / DJ

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

Affluent / Bottle Service / Chic

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

Tryst

20s / 30s / 40s / Anything goes / Bar

Party Earth Review Situated in a neighborhood known for its rowdy nightlife, Tryst invites Adams Morgan rabble-rousers to step back, have a latte served with animal crackers, and chill out. A wall of windows offers both mellow daytime views and safety from the nighttime chaos of 18th Street, while mismatched couches and simple wooden tables ... more

Science Club

20s / After Work / Anything goes

Party Earth Review With its sign barely visible above the brownstone building’s doors, Science Club looks more like a historic hotel than a funky cool den of eclectic DJs, healthy eats, and solid drink specials. There are no secret laboratories to support the bar’s name, but its weekday Happy Hour – 11am to 8pm and ... more

Eighteenth Street Lounge

20s / 30s / 40s / Artists / Bar / Blazers

Party Earth Review Little of Eighteenth Street Lounge’s façade would attract the attention of an uninitiated passerby, save for the bouncer who plants himself before its unmarked door or the lines that form beneath the neon glow of a “MATTRESS DISCOUNTS” sign on the adjacent building. Inside this three-story lounge, however, DC scenesters ... more

Local 16

30s / Burgers / Casual / Couples / DJ

Party Earth Review A large rooftop bar and an emphasis on locally-grown products have made Local 16 a popular hangout for a mix of foodies, preppies, and hipsters alike. A casual weeknight vibe quickly turns to a rowdy, overly-packed scene on weekends when swarms of college students take over the large tiki-styled rooftop deck to flirt with ... more

Josephine

20s / 30s / Bottle Service / Club / DJ

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

Black Fox Lounge

30s / 40s / After Work / Burgers / TVs

Party Earth Review A great alternative to the fast-paced vibe of many nearby bars and clubs, Black Fox Lounge is a dimly-lit den perfect for rounds of cocktails, live music, and relaxed conversation. The jazz-loving regulars seem to fit right in with the venue’s vintage hotel feel, accentuated by deep chocolate leather sofas and a massive ... more

Russia House Restaurant & Lounge

30s / 40s / Ambient / Bar / Couples / TVs

Party Earth Review The Communist party may be dead, but the after-party marches on at The Russia House Restaurant and Lounge, an upscale tribute to the cuisine and culture of the motherland. One of the few spots in the District where Royal Siberian caviar flows as readily as a mango martini, this elegant four-story venue is awash in ... more

DC Lounges Overview

Napoleon Bistro & Lounge - Bar | Club | Lounge | Restaurant in DC

Whether lounges in Washington, DC are plentiful because its denizens love to chill out or because nobody in the capital actually works for a living is a matter of opinion, but the DC lounge scene is still a great one no matter the reason.

With a prevalence of swanky rooftop lounges full of international fashionistas, chic subterranean cigar lounges packed with political fat cats, and festive music blues and jazz lounges reminiscent of DC’s fantastic music history, there’s a lounge for everyone in DC – regardless of their political affiliation.

After all, the District basically doubles in size when its governmental workforce swoops in, and the end of the day means a lot of people out there need to cool off from running the world. Lobbyists and embassy heavyweights hit the upscale lounges along Dupont Circle or K Street before cutting loose at a swanky nightclub Downtown, while hip gay couples relax at the many gay and gay-friendly lounges along P Street and 17th Street.

Music lovers know the lounge scene doesn’t get any better than along the U Street Corridor, home to everything from smoky jazzy lounges to trance and electronica-filled DJ hotspots, and Georgetown socialites don’t have to travel far from their own cozy enclave to fork over mad cash for some exclusive R&R in a fancy lounge.

Even H Street, perhaps known best for its kitschy themed clubs, has new neighborhood lounges popping up almost every day. From dingy to divine, Washington, DC lounges bring the elephants and donkeys together.
