Does anyone have suggestion of a nice club in DC/Virginia area? There are not a lot of reviews. I'm in a wedding party that will be there labor day wknd and the bachelor is not getting a formal party so I'm trying to take him out with maybe just a couple of guys.
Thanks
I live in the DMV area. For the most part, clubs here are nothing to brag about.
However, Maryland is definitely the area you want to go to.
My suggestion:
Fuego ( this is where I would go) only has Latinas and African American dancers, but the dances are much cheaper. Showcase Theater has more variety as far as dancer ethnicity but dances are steeper.
I never understood why, in DMV there are a million escorts but strip clubs suck.
If you want to take a little drive (60-90 min) I'd go over to Charlestown, WV and hit the casinos and one of the clubs over there. The drive isn't worth the club visit alone but both of those combined for a guys trip could be fun.
In DC itself, Good Guys on Wisconsin Avenue has a good setup with late tables around three stages. Food is pretty good and drinks aren't outrageous. Girls? Last time I was in the had roughly half good looking women, one quarter OK and one quarter with a high heifer index. Fully nude, up close, no lap dances per DC law.
In VA, there is the Crystal City Restaurant in Arlington. I haven't been there in years, but the last time I was there I had a good time. My go to place is 1320 Club II in Springfield. Lots of parking, good food, inexpensive booze and most of the girls will give good mileage and will allow lots of contact. Lap dances are $25. All VA clubs are pastie bars by law.
If you don't mind overpriced everything, high pressure from the girls and bring ignored, Paper Moon has slightly better eye candy.
If you are willing to drive to the south end of Baltimore, I would recommend Fantasies Nightclub on Pennington Avenue. Ample free parking, excellent food, inexpensive drinks, good looking nude women on stage, same women fully topless in the lapdances area. My favorite place to go. It's less than an hour from DC, assuming you don't leave after 3:00 and before 7:00 pm. My favorite place in the area.
DC/Virginia clubs are among the worst anywhere. A total waste of time and money. You should drive to Baltimore. And if that's too far then just stay in your hotel room and watch porn. You'll have a much better time.
Damn how could I forget the block. Yeah that's where you need to go.
Someone posted awhile back about getting some high mileage action at a club in Baltimore outside the block - in other words somewhere you wouldn't necessarily get killed. Sounded intriguing.
I've had some wild nights on the block in my early 20s - hangover-style life threatening nights - so that's perfect for a bachelor party!!!!
The OP & his party don't look like hardcore SCers & seem may just wanna a nice fun place to hang since the dude is getting married.
Dopey468,
There are no nice clubs in Northern Virginia Papermoon and 1320 club in Springfield allow lap dances but they are not good dances and I don't recommend these for bachelor party DC clubs are no touching and no lap dance clubs If you are looking for nice club with lap dances,I would suggest Hustler club in Baltimore. Dances are 2 for $40 at upstairs VIP lounge. Few girls do topless and few won't do it.But they are full contact lap dances.Check reviews on Hustler.Gold club is also good but girls are not better than the ones at Hustlers. Lap dances at Fantasies are not full contact. Before you select the club read the reviews here posted by customers
Dark blue, you are wrong about Fantasies if (a) you have the right dancer and (b) you are known to them. Also, if you pay the freight for a 20 minute room, the rules are much more liberal.
Also, LDs at 1320 have been about 90% good. I have encountered only two dancers who followed the rules completely, particularly if you ask about their rules at the outset.
Following Papi's insight, as long as your expectations are calibrated (no contact, no VIP) both Archibald's and Camelot would be good options for a small, quiet bachelor experience. First, they are in the relatively safe NW Washington, DC. Second, they both offer a fairly consistent lineup of attractive dancers. Third, the clubs are expensive but not "clip joints." The Baltimore Block has its "charms," but unless you have a sense of adventure and are up to date on immunizations, I'd recommend the upmarket DC clubs.
If all you want is some drinks and eye candy, you should be satisfied with Camelot. If you want some amount of mileage.. you'll have to go with one of the MD options listed.
The simple reason why S.C suck in D.C and NOVA is because of the laws of no lap dances. Camelot has the prettiest girl but you have to throw dollars from a distance to the girls. I did find out though many of those girls will meet you outside the club for the right price. Go up to Baltimore where the clubs are all nude and plenty of lap dancing and rooms
Thanks for everyone's feedback!
Upmarket DC clubs? Not sure what to say about that. You pay more for a product that sucks. Unless you just want to sit and stare, then it sucks less.
Is Showcase still BYOB? That club's best days are behind it, but I would still pick it over Fuego. It boils down to this, if most of your party is comfortable with a black and latino clientele it could work. Otherwise I'd look elsewhere, especially if you guys are looking to cut loose a bit. Parking sucks and the location can be sketchy. Is the bachelor's night out right before the wedding? If you have a day or two between the night out and the wedding, you're better off looking at Baltimore to hit a few strip clubs and do a bar crawl.
If you're over by Gold Club, Players Club is a few blocks North, BYOB, and a better option for a bachelor party if you want an actual party. Think it's closed on Mondays if that matters. You get a lot just from being around the stages and it gets better from there. Gold Club is a place more to sit and watch unless you're dropping serious dollars for the VIP lounges. The Block is the Block. Would start somewhere else and then decide if you need to check that out for a late night adventure.
DMV is not a place for this. Camelot has the best eye candy but don't expect much else. Politicians like to keep their side pieces in the bedroom (or if you're Republican, men's public bathroom, TAP TAP TAP) so they can claim pillar of the community status. That plus congressional staff ass makes for some good chasing
