abrooksbro Posted July 19 Author Report Share Posted July 19 I don't know about dragonfly, but I heard 5 was more of a bigger club, and I heard ESL was basically someones idea of what they thought was hip in NYC, but ends up being like 10 years ago.

abrooksbro Posted July 19 Author Report Share Posted July 19 I met some people who were headed there last night, but I don't really know anything about it. Basically I'm looking for a hip place with a strict dresscode and door policy and hot women Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people on this board go to Nation, Glow, etc. 5 is a junior version of Glow. Not upscale at all, no door policy. 18th St lounge and Andalu have a door policy on certain nights. Thurs and Fri. International set. If you want NYC, get on a plan and go back to NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vixenfoxxy Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 Try Sole' and Harbour Club on the waterfront. I have been in Italy for several months so I don't know what it's like these days but both of them were rather nice the last time I went. What clubs did you go to before in (you said you came from..) New York? Maybe I can point you more in the right direction from there.sap - come on now, going to nation isn't like catching gonnorhea... you make it sound like you had to go take a shower just to clean up from writing the word, no less going there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kken Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 There are no high end clubs in DC because DC people are smart enough not to put up with that shit... you like standing in lines just for the sake of standing in a line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times I like to stand in lines. Even moreso when it is raining - freezing - Hot as nuts - or snowing. I have had some of my best nights doing nothing but standing in line all night.

abrooksbro Posted July 20 Author Report Share Posted July 20 What does hi end have to do with lines. In New York the places with the longest lines are usually huge crappy places like Webster Hall. At most smaller places you are either getting in or you're not no matter how long you wait. In NYC, I like places like Dorsia, Rehab, GO, Pangaea, Suite 16, etc........P.SI wouldn't be in D.C if I didn't have a reason, so going to NYC isn't an option thanks for the constructive help though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinsaikel Posted July 20 Report Share Posted July 20 5 and glow are like night and day. 5 sat nights has a better vibe than glow ever will (good house nights like miguel migs and marques wyatt). Plus they've got better dancers there and not filled with mainly fucked up rolling face asians. ESL does have a strict door policy and the music is usually downtempo. For starters if you are a "somebody" (celeb, etc) don't expect to get in. Same goes for Red. It's funny how Red and 18 st are are owned by 1 1/2 of theivery but diff in many ways. Anyway, ppl like the bush daughters have been rejected from 18st and Bill Maher was rejected from Red. Funny shit. btw, both places aren't marked on purpose.

abrooksbro Posted July 20 Author Report Share Posted July 20 I guess I'll check out ESL and Red, last night I just went out to Md. to visit a friend. I'm not that much into the music, I just want a nice atmosphere with atractive well dressed people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that much into the music, I just want a nice atmosphere with atractive well dressed people Wait don't go to Red - I think Spin only put that in there cause they share an owner... Red is dark, rather dirty and there is no dress code. It's there for great music, great dancing and tends to appeal to a very eclectic crowd, and it is def. not the type of place you're looking for. It's 10 wooden barstools and brick walls, not fluffy couches and bottle waitresses... but Red is GREAT, IMHO, have had some of the best musical nites of DC in there. Would highly recommend it, just not if you refuse to go someplace without sconce lighting and white laquer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vixenfoxxy Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 WHOA... I'm about to get on the soap box so anyone who isn't ready, leave now.It's not at all that one can't have fun here. It's just that you have to figure out how to stop whining and adjust to what's available first. No, DC isn't New York, and the range of places to go is not as wide, nor are there as many places to go. However, there are some very nice places out there for those of you who are seeking that sort of thing, and as mother once told me "class may mean expecting the best, but it also means knowing when to shut your mouth, be gracious and enjoy yourself". No one likes a whiner, kids, so while I am all for upscale clubs, I am really worn down by people who can just never have it quite plush enough, quite cool enough, quite high or shiny or pretty enough - if it's really so bad, stay home. I'm sure you've decorated your apartment nice enough to like it there, being as how you have sooooo much money to toss around, and the rest of us will go out and have a good time even if our martini glasses aren't tiffany crystal. If Brooks Bro prefers an upscale spot, great, and if my asian uncle prefers rolling his face off at glow and screaming "MOUTSO MOUTSO!" great... but don't start bashing on a whole nightlife scene when most of you who are dissing haven't even gone to the majority of spots in the city. The scene needs everyone to support all aspects, and negativity never gets anyone anywhere. Joke around if you want, but this name-calling, derogatory "my aunt's cousin's grandson's friend's older brother told me it sucks" crap is totally ridiculous. Thanks.

abrooksbro Posted July 21 Author Report Share Posted July 21 I'm not trying to bash anything, I'm just trying to find places to check out since I've only been in town for about a wekk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
