The new DC Friday night spot. This club just opened and is the place to be. I arrived super late with about an hour to party. The club was packed. Their was an official police officer at the door to check IDs . When you enter you head up a flight of stairs and through a door. There is a bar on the other side and couches along parts of the wall. It was super packed . Between running into friends and taking in the scenery it was a lot going on. The restrooms like most DC clubs I've been to have a restroom attendant to give you soap and mints. I remember tipping mines but I don't remember why. The club has 2 floors. The top floor has a balcony to look down below. It was packed up there too with a bar. I didn't get a drink, but my best friend seemed to enjoy his. The music was all hip hop modern. The club is 2 doors down from Fireplace a very popular LGBT bar which helped them pull in a crowd. Everything was well until it was time to go. The first half of the stairwell doesn't have a railing. The stairs were very slipper with nothing to hold on to so I took a tumble all the way down. It was so embarrassing. I wasn't even drunk. I would suggest them getting a railing asap so that doesn't happen to anyone else. Other then that I had a great time and would return on a Friday night.
