Archibald's Gentlemen's Club Reviews

I visited on a Tuesday evening around 10:30. Walking in off K Street, the door man looks you over and asks for $20 and if you’ve been there before. I’ve been visiting Achibalds once or twice a year for the past 10 years, save for the Covid years....

I went to this club because it is nude and has the highest dancer rating in DC. I was not impressed. As I sat observing the mediocre dancers, I kept pondering the statistical concept of standard deviation. Considering that strip clubs are my not-so-standard deviation and greatest guilty pleasure, the...

I went to Archibald’s on a Thursday night, around 9:00 p.m. I did not have time to get to a better club in Maryland.

• No cover, on a Thursday night
• No parking
• Beer = $13

I walked in, there was a long bar on...

Arrived a little after midnight with a couple friends. There was a $20 cover and they have a hat polivy: no backwards caps.

The layout is weird. You walk in and there are tables and chairs; pretty empty late on a friday. It's a small, railroad style place. There is...

Entered club 9pm, with 3 girls working, and only 2 other PLs. Enter on K St, then walk up stairs. I have read reports about $20 cover, but even when I left shortly before 11, there was nobody collecting a cover. I was told by a dancer...

In town for work and I dropped in to Archie's at about 7p on a Tuesday night. The first remarkable thing was that there was NOBODY watching the door. Not inside, not outside. Great, no cover!

When I let myself in, I saw another patron hovering around the entrance and...

Not a bad place to spend a night with a friend or 2. Some might call the place small but others might call it intimate. Girls are super friendly and I've seen them sit there chatting up guys for 30+ minutes with not a dollar in sight. ...

I showed up around 10 to Archibald's, and they charged a $20 cover. I went up the stairs and place was empty. One customer at a table; maybe two at the bar. About 7 girls sitting around; 2 bartenders. The space looks very nice, though small...

Washington, D.C. Just came from Cloakroom and walk a few blocks over, not a bad hike. Friday night. Walk up, black guy with an accent. Cover is $20 but military is $10. Walk in and make a left. A a skinny blonde stripper sitting by the door greets me I...

Went to this club late on a Friday. Parking for the club is typical of the area and what is to be expected. Which is street parking within a few blocks of the club depending on how many spots there are, since this was late, there were more spots. So,...

After checking out Mpire and Camelot in the nearby DuPont Circle area on previous visits to DC; I made a visit to Archibald’s this trip on a Wednesday night around 10:00 pm.

As always, clubs in DC are shackled by various local restrictions so adjust your expectations before you enter....

Despite living in the DMV for years haven’t frequented strip clubs in DC before because they get such universally mediocre reviews. No doubt, compared on some absolute scale with clubs in ATL or FL these are disappointing. But with several drinks already already down the hatch and no real expectations...

Bottom Line: DC does not have high mileage clubs and this is no exception. If you are looking for a spot to relax and grab a bite/drink with attractive naked women and are have the change for it then this is the spot for you.

Club Exterior: Archie’s is in a...

I visited here due to location and boredom on a Wednesday afternoon...again. There were plenty of seats available so I say against the wall in the back right corner so I could see the entire club. The club is dark with a good vibe. I always feel comfortable here. The...

The club is conveniently located in the city, making it easily accessible via metro.


On the first floor, there two stages, a number of tables, and a long bar. I have never had trouble finding a place to sit. There are usually a number of attractive women working and...

I hadn't been here in a while so decided to check it out around 8 on a Friday. First off, this is not the old Archibald's. With the old Archibald's, there was a downstairs with 3/4 stages, and upstairs there was an overflow area with 2/3 stages and a pool...

Hot damn expensive lap dances. Well, there's girls doing air dances on tiny pole stages (3 I think?) and they circle the room looking for tips. What can I say? It's DC.
First off, it has a slightly discrete entrance. The front man er 'bouncer' wouldn't let me in until I...

Been here many times because of the convenient location. It's fully nude and fairly upscale, especially on the second floor (first floor is currently closed because of construction).

I always go late afternoon after work. There are generally ten or so girls working, most fairly to quite attractive. No cover at...

Based on the location of the club in downtown DC, I figured this would be a good place to visit in the late afternoon. Wrong.

The club is part of a building that looks like a town home. The bottom floor is closed so I entered the second floor lounge. There...

Went to Archie's after work last night (Friday around 8pm).

Paid a cover, which is a new addition I am not happy at all about. The door guys are always the same Russian/Serbian douchebags. I make it a point to look past them at the bar while I show them my...

Archibald’s is a fixture in the (admittedly lame) DC strip club scene. It’s been at the same location with the same ownership for 50 years. The space at 1520 K Street NW used to feature Archibald’s on the lower level and a billiards bar known as Fast Eddie’s...

This place is right downtown on k, so convenient if you’re staying in a hotel or working downtown. When you enter the downstairs club, theres a long, narrow room (like a dc townhouse) with a bar on the left and a stage in the right. There’s another smaller stage in...

I know I shouldn't do this again...but I did. I was staying in a hotel within walking distance so I easily talked myself into going here. It was late Sunday night so I end up paying $15 to get in. I found a seat near the stage, ordered a $10...

I stopped in on a Wednesday night having not been there for some time. The cover was $10, I was hoping to see Elaine at the front door but there was a different woman there. I was then ushered to the second floor which was open instead of the first...

Went by Saturday night to see Brandi Love. With the featured dance, there was a $20 cover. The first floor / ground level was closed. Appears that they may be renovating the space. Everyone was up on the second floor which normally has a couple of...
