Sorry to reign in on your low opinion of DC, but this region has a great nightlife scene and is home to some great establishments. As for Ultrabar, walk in there before you make assumptions. The place has been under new ownership for over 9 months now. Sure the building has been there for almost 100 years but the business is new and the club is new. The crowd is an early 30's, late 20's young professional crowd. Stabbings and shootings tend to happen at Go Go clubs, sorry to disapoint you. Hey, there are some great venues nominated on that list and there are some great new places in DC, so it's an honor.
