This rooftop bar at the Gaylord was a cool spot. I saw a lot of reviews mention an '80s theme, but…read moreit looks like they've renovated recently so I didn't really get that vibe. That said, the drink I had, a peach sangria, was really good and the bartender was amazing. There's plenty of space inside the bar itself, and since it's a rooftop, you can step outside where there's a nice amount of seating with views overlooking the streets and Harbor area.

A fairly new night club in DC that hosts dance parties every weekend. They have a variety of music…read more- Latin, hip hop and more. They have DJ rotations so the dance music never gets old. They have a full bar, bottle service and take reservations for groups and special occasions. There is limited street parking and but there are garages close by you can pay to park in on the side of Vermont St or I (Eye) St. Be sure to check when garages close or you can't get your car out until the next day. I highly recommend taking the metro to Farragut West or taking a ride share taxi there. I have not tried the food yet so that is why it's only 4 stars. Will update the review later. They are usually open from 10pm-3am on Fridays and Saturdays and the hours vary on other days.

Later on in the evening I ordered catfish nuggets to soak up the cocktails, and they were fried to perfection! Seasoned well, super white meat, still hot and a decent portion for sharing. The service could use a little training as our bartender walked away from the bar several times while we were trying to order more. If you like hookah, be careful because theirs is really strong! I had to put it down after the first 2 pulls. Everyone was nice and polite, the crowd is hip hop with a DJ, millennial - Gen X and you can smoke inside so if you're not a fan of the different types of smoke - you might want to reconsider.

Amazing variety of international events and DJs! They have a Mexican food menu most nights but on nights where there are special events, the food is customized and offers international cuisines as well. There is also a Vietnamese pho and grill in the back. The food here is above average for a nightclub. This place has such amazing lighting and sound. Lots of space and VIP rooms, including a hookah room and stage. Asian music night is usually on Sundays and sometimes Saturdays. Other nights have Latin music. Special events have covered everything from Romanian to Mongolian and Middle Eastern cultural events.

Wow I can't even count the number of shows I've seen here in my lifetime. As I'm originally from…read morePittsburgh, it was nothing to make the drive to catch some of our favorite bands performing. This old school punk venue has been around since the early 80s and I started seeing shows here in my late teens. The history behind this place is just mind-blowing and incredible. To me it's one of the best places to see a live band. The sound is spot on. I've seen Fugazi (sadly never got to see Minor Threat), Bad Brains, and several other bands here. Iconic and legendary venue... for music lovers it's a must at least once to see a performance here.

Solid concert venue in a convenient location in DC. Parking is available on surrounding streets if…read moreyou arrive early enough. You can also pay for a parking pass through their website but the lot only opens up an hour beforehand so be sure to plan your evening with that in mind. We ended up parking on the street for only $3 since we arrived early to grab dinner nearby. The entry line was super long and literally went around the block but it moved surprisingly fast. Staff was friendly and helpful at the door. The inside was dark when we arrived and it would've been nice to have some house lights so people could find their way around the venue a little easier. The AC was cranking and the temp was comfortable. Upstairs has standing room and some bleachers which provides a good view with less of a crowd. Their VIP area looks nice and I'd be interested in splurging next time for a seat and a better view. There's bars downstairs and upstairs and even some food concessions. Getting out of the venue from the balcony was a bit stressful with only one way out. It makes you imagine what would happen if you needed to get out in a rush... other than that, it's a good space.

Always a great time at the Bayou Room. I was so happy because I was able to try some of their food…read moreoptions this time. They did not disappoint. I tried the Cajun Mac n Cheese which came with chicken on top. It was seasoned to perfection and was very delicious. The temperature of the dish was just right. Along with food we ordered two jack and cokes. Since they don't have a cocktail menu but a full bar it is a little difficult to choose a drink that you think you may like. But luckily the Jack and Coke was great. The bar tender was very nice and very attentive. He gave provided an awesome service. The ambiance was great as well. Like always, they had live music. I did not enjoy the live band as much as I did before but they were still good and they kept the audience entertained. I will be back soon! Cheers!

The bartender that we had, was somewhat attentive. She was kinda in and out with service, also acknowledging that there were other customers in the room. But I do wish she was a little more attentive. Other than the missed service, this Bayou Bar was decent. An okay place to get some drinks or relax a little bit before going upstairs for a jazz performance or some dinner reservations.

Dear reader, Crush…read moreDance Bar is such a fun spot and easily one of my favorite places to go out in DC. The rooftop and open-air area is so nice and gives you the perfect place to hang out, catch a little air, and still feel part of the energy, which feels like a very strong social advantage. The drinks here are seriously so good. I always go for a crush, usually grapefruit, while my husband reliably orders the porn star martini, and both are excellent. The orange crush is also great, but the grapefruit is probably my favorite. The fact that they fresh squeeze the juice right at the bar is kind of crazy and honestly feels pretty unique in the District. As for the porn star martini, it is insanely good, and the alcoholic passion fruit foam takes it completely over the top in the best way. The bartenders are incredible and so kind, which always makes a place stand out more, and the music is always great. They also have frequent live DJs in house, which keeps the vibe fun and does a great job of highlighting local talent. Every time I have been, it has been a really great time from start to finish. Overall, Crush is the kind of place that makes it very easy to stay for one more drink and a little longer than planned. I will absolutely keep coming back.
