Quite possibly more Russians on CP than rats in DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetgoldmire Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Heya! Welcome to the area, welcome to the board, and hi! Where are you from? Buzz is the big hotspot around here as far as big clubs go. Buzz is at Nations on Friday, and they get big-name djs that spin house, prog, trance, techno, drum and bass, breaks, 2-step... whatever. It's 18+, 21 to drink. There is also the Edge, which has the same type of music, is right near Nations, same ages, not as good of a soundsystem, and the djs are not as "big-name" as Buzz, but it's still a fun place to go. Besides that, I'll rely on the others to answer, because I'm from Baltimore, and am not Russian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michik Posted August 28 Author Report Share Posted August 28 I like international, house, lounge, d&b, hip hop, garage.....I think that covers it. I'm looking for a few trendy places, and a few laidback places...also love live music....if it helps, I live near Adams Morgan, which I hear is full of great nightlife, although I don't know of any specific places...I've heard Paper Moon is good - is that in Georgetown? I'm looking to avoid very cheesy places..mildly cheesy I can tolerate...sorta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 garage, d&b, progressive, techno: buzz (fri) & the edge (sat)house: red (thu-sun), club 5 (sat)hip-hop: dunnoin adams morgan: lots of bars and lounges. shady spins at felix, nice bar, not alot of people dance there though. heaven, a bit on the cheesey side, but mad fun. there is another lounge in adams morgan where a freind also spins...tinybf, whats the name of the place?18th st. lounge, for your more "upscale" type lounge.heard good things about blue room in adams morgan.modern in g'town thur & sun.trance: glow on sat.

House, Prog, & Breaks. 21 & Older, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malanee Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Modern in G-town is a great lounge for Th. or Sunday w/ Buster - who posts here. Blue room in Adams Morgan gets some good talent. Our resident Shady spins at Felix in AM - but I have yet to see him.Red has great house and after hours (Dupont Circle). M3 throws a house party at 5 on Saturdays - but I don't like 5 that much.For cheese, you must stop by Heaven in AM, Fridays or Saturday nights.Buzz is your best bet for top talent and 18 and over.

I'm looking to avoid very cheesy places..mildly cheesy I can tolerate...sorta! I like Blue Room (upstairs) in Adams Morgan. I hear Felix on Saturdays is good too since our own Shadygroove started spinning there.If you like a trendy lounge, check out Chi Cha, 18th Street Lounge and Dragonfly. Also check out Red. I hear Ozio is nice with the international crowd too. Since you don't like cheese, I'd avoid Georgetown, except for Modern on Sundays and Thursdays. I don't know anything about hip hop.Generally, you'll find most of us at Buzz every Friday, so come to one of the meet-ups and check the place out.

Hopefully I'll get to see her this weekend in Miami, that is if she can find the time between her hospital rotations.anyway, i went off in a tangent, welcome to the board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
