Will DC Ever Reopen?

I got my 2nd vaccination shot and waited the two weeks, so I thought I’d venture out Saturday to see what the club situation is in DC. In previous months, some of the clubs had opened as restaurants. The girls would act as “hostesses” and sit with customers and talk while they ate their mandatory meal. But Archibald’s is still the only one open. I’m not sure if Mpire is still doing this but they seemed closed Saturday night. Camelot and Cloakroom were closed.

The only action was at Archibalds. They were doing the hostess/ restaurant gig, but they were promoting private dances at $500 per hour or $250 for half hour. Too rich for me and I didn’t bother to ask about clothing for the dancer. If anything is worth that much money I guess you would need to spend a lot of time talking up the girl to see if it was worth it.

The only place worth going to was Crystal City. They have air lap dances and a full lineup. With a few really cute girls. But the dances are expensive and from what I gather, they are tame. See their web page for prices. If you have money, Crystal City let’s you take a girl outside the club for a set amount of time for an expensive fee and a negotiated tip to the dancer. From what I’ve heard, most of the girls who do this, just go for dinner or drinks.

I also heard Crystal had a rash of COVID cases run through the girls when they were visited by troops patrolling the Capitol after the riot. They stayed open throughout though.

Paper Moon is open but too expensive.

Looks like Baltimore is still the only real option for DC mongers.
