Archibald's Gentlemen's Club

I've been to Archibald's numerous times and am always impressed with the quality of the girls that dance here. While not the gorgeous knockouts - they are always "lookers". The club is nude…

Ok to begin, this isnt the worst club around, I would just say its OK. Especially for DC. I'm not particularly familiar with DC clubs so I am going to…

This club isn't bad for a DC club. There are a couple things to keep in mind for DC clubs to put it into perspective. 1. Lap dances and touching are not…

Used to come in pretty often when I lived in DC in the 80's, and the atmosphere hasn't changed much. Pretty women dancing on stage getting completely nekkid. But that is all…

Went to archibalds while on for a bachelor party. Standard DC Rules apply, No touching. So you can be right beside the stage have their bits in front of you while…

Visited archibalds while on business. Although it's a far cry from my usual Detroit Mecca the girls are always good looking. Really didn't intend on spending much money on my trip but…

Regular customer here. A few negative developments to report. Sharp price hikes on drinks impacting popularity. 1. A regular premium double one girl ordered ran $24 plus $6 for the Red Bull.Wine…

I was in DC for a conference and decided I needed a beer. Having grown up in the area, I was familiar with the club scene in DC and decided to…

Archibalds has always been one of my favorite clubs in DC, I visit whenever I am in town. I met the most amazing girl last time I was there and was very…

very unusual club, as most of them in DC are - I spent my time downstairs, which is a very narrow & crowded bar/stage area. You basically sit there and watch…

Layout of the club is long and narrow, with two stages on the first floor, which are used during the day, and a second-floor stage they open in the evenings. Dancers are…

OK, longtime big fan of this club. Like many other regulare customers, I was glsd to see the last GM let go--highly deserved. Club declined under his regime. So I saw…

Time to kill so I stopped in Archibald's. I went upstairs for the first time, as I usually stay downstairs on my rare visits here. It wasn't crowded but both…

Place has bounced back fast since replacing old GM who was running club into ground. New manager, working closely with involved ownership, has brought in attractive new girls, restored morale, and, most…

Two stars. And kick me. I clearly learned after visiting nearby Camelot (reviewed) that the no-touch, no-lap-dance DC & NoVa clubs are a frustrating & pointless waste of time. On the other…

OK, so it's been a year from my last visit...so what's changed? Not much, and that's a good thing (for DC). The usual DC caveats apply--no lap dances, no touching the gals (although there…

Been coming in for five years, and sad to say place has deteriorated sharply recntly. Examples: 1. Was in last Saturday....40 day customers (yes, you read that right)....due to national police wknd actiivites....ZERO…

I guess I'm a bit of a local because I live across the river in "prude-land" and DC is pretty much the only outlet for meeting dancers in the region short of…

Archibald's is fine. But it is certainly nothing special. Although I guess in DC nothing really is. DC does not allow lapdances. Now, the dancers are all nude, so there's that, but…

The good: Overall quality of girls; good serving and support staff; attractive and clean premises; improved food. The bad: Still some unattractive and/or pushy/personality-problem women on the schedule; online schedule is useless--inaccurate and…

I love Archibald's. been coming here for awhile now and always have a great time every time i visit. Although i do miss a lot of the girls that used to work…

I hadn't been here before, I arrived around 9pm. Started at bar area to observe dancers on two stages. Pretty girls. Couple of dances per set. For DC this is the best…

I hadn't been here in years, so I stopped in around 7:30 pm. Girls were dancing on both stages and i sat near the back stage. Most of the girls…

Went here for a bachelor party a couple of weeks ago. As you walk into the door you are asked for your party size. Large parties will go upstairs and the single…

Archibalds continues to slowly improve, climbing back toward the top club it had been (or tied with Camelot in the eyes of some) until they took a bad tumble when they got…

So a night of a few drinks and some fun with my GF, found me looking for parking on K street to try out one of the "infamous" strip clubs in DC,…

Me and my co-worker decide to have a cold one and watch some pretty ladies after a hard day of work. DC club is nude dancing with NO touching and NO lap…

Was in again Saturday night and the decline in quality of the girls seems to have been arrested as there were a number of attractive new girls and some of the unattractive…

Ok so DC isn't the strip club "capitol" of the U.S. but considering the reality of the DC scene Archibald's is a pretty good joint. No cover charge, the dancers are…

Gotta admit, I was greatly disappointed. There are two stages, both of which are barely above floor level, so they're hard to see from many of the seats. I was…

For DC this club was not bad. Obviously no touching or private dances, but a few were touchy feely walking around. This Club was clean and the stages had decent…

Club is more of a gentleman's club than a strip joint. Dark, moody downstaris, brighter, high-ceilinged space upstairs. Club is kept phyiscally clean unlike many. Some might say it is a restaurant…

I enjoy Archibald's for what it is - a good spot to relax and have a few beers watching mostly good looking dancers, 6's to 10's. You have to live with…

Message immeidately below a bit garbled as a result of being composed on a smartphone rather than a computer. I was trying to make two points: 1. the club now has some…

Traditionally my fav club in the area but downward spiral of recent months continues. Alas some girls who dance here now most definitely don't fit the classic arches mold of…

This is an odd place to go but it is mostly because of the District of Columbia laws that don't allow traditional lap dances. It reminds me of clubs in the…

I should have known from the K Street location and the rumors about D.C. laws that this place would be the way it turned out to be. Seemed very "old school"…

I went after work one day. The dancers are generally young and attractive. The problem is DC laws and no lap dances. They'll do a little dance for you if…

Great place if you are looking for a mail order Russian bride. The venue is very small and the drinks are ridiculously overpriced. The women tend to be early 20's eastern European…

This has been the best club in DC for a number of years (and a very good club for 25+ years). Things seem to be in chaos now. Since a management shakeup 3…

Club is average if you are into watching low-key stage work. There is absolutely NO contact in DC so don't even think that things are going to be like most other…

No cover, but you're expected to tip every dancer on each stage. They come around collecting when they get off stage. So, It works to maybe $20 an hour just to sit…

I like getting here before 5pm on weekdays. It can get a bit packed at night and then it's tough to get good attention. I seem to drop by here every few…

Reviewing DC clubs is always an one-the-one-hand-on-the-other experience. On the one hand, Archibald's undoubtedly has some fine ladies dancing on a regular basis. On this visit there were a couple of beautiful…

I recently made my way to Archibald's with a few buddies on a Friday night. We stayed in the downstairs section of the club, which has a long bar along the…

Weekends seem to be a great deal better than weekdays at this downtown club that also pretends to be a sports bar. the last Saturday I was there it was dynamite. Downstairs…

Problem with DC is tat it's a no lap dance, no contact town. So you really have to ask yourself, why bother? Well Archibald's is ok. There are a…

After a somewhat disappointing trip to Camelot, I decided to give the DC scene one more chance. Was very surprised at the quality of dancers at Archibald's. I have to…

ADDENDUM to my prior review: Last night, in discussing the incident I witnessed last week with one of my clients who was a guest on the occasion in question, he reminded…

Well, things change. Not sure why but they do. For the last 3 years I've brought in 1-3 business clients once or twice a month and once every 3 or 4…

After hearing rumors of troubles or declines, I recently made the rounds of my favorite D.C. strip clubs to check on conditions, visiting each club at least three times at different times…

Probably the best club in DC. There have been improvements in the quality of the dancers over the years and has surpassed the women at Camelot. The dancers are a…

It’s my regular club. The best place to go in the district in my opinion, considering location, talent, price, atmosphere… Eight dollars for a glass of wine and $4.95 for a…

Been here twice. The building is three stories, I've been to the first two. The second level is basically a bar with 3 very small stripping stages. The lower…

The reason for the change is because management has changed. Unfortunately, due to bad judgment, the owners have made some bad choices and decisions as of late to include letting go of…

As said elsewhere, took the opportunity to do a bit of comparing between the two clubs located close to each other (C and A) in my last DC trip. A DC…

Like the other reviewers below, I have been amazed at how much this club improved in the last few years, surpassing even Camelot. Sexy girls dripping with phermones. High-class clientele.....makes sense, high-class…

Archibald's is the only place left to go in DC. It is cleaner, safer and more comfortable than other establishments I have visited. I think the value for the money is…

The best of the DC clubs, in my opinion. DC clubs have no laps and no contact, so it's really about seeing pretty girls, not being hustled by the bartender, and a…

In my view, Archibald's is becoming the last decent strip club in DC. I used to feel Camelot was better, but the talent there has really dropped off in the last…

I am usual visitor to archibalds mainly because of the convenience to my job. It has a decent atmosphere but the girls are not really my type. They are usually too skinny…

Its been a few years since I've been into Archie's, and WOW! This place has definitely changed for the better. I was used to only 2 floors on the weekends…

Went by Archibald's last night after a two year absence. I had read that the bar had been renovated during the past year. The location now has dancers in the…

I would probably visit this place regularly if I were a local. Really hot women, definitely more attractive than your average strip club, and full nude. Drinks were not too…

Well, where do I start? This is an interesting place, split level narrow bar that has dancers in two stages downstairs. The women are attractive, but the place is not…

always one of the favourite place to visit when i am in dc, convient to my hotel on K street with easy access to resteraunts and bars. Perhaps i booked my hotel…

I spent a workweek in DC a few weeks ago and Archies really rocked for me at night, especially on Friday! Lots of good looking and intelligent dancers and a decent…

I was in the area so decided to stop by. Parking in the area was tough but not impossible. I ended up finding a spot about 4 blocks away and…

Hadn't been here for a while, but Archibald's doesn't seem to change much--it's a real institution. Arrived a bit before shift change on a Friday, and the place was more crowded…

Much to like here. Perhaps the best club in the DC area. Attractive, friendly girls. Responsive, team-oriented support staff of waitresses, bartenders, bouncers, etc. Very well-managed club. Layout is a small problem as…

Been hanging out atC lubs for over a decade. This Club always has an identity crisis. oes it want to be a Strip Club or a Sports Bar? Downstairs has 2 stages,…

First of all I have to say that I am a fan of Achibald's (or Archie's as it is known to locals). Since there are plenty of reviews, I thought I would review…

Typically I do not like District of Columbia clubs but this is a great place if you are looking for a place to have a drink and get some decent food. Drinks…

Archibalds is the club I always go back to when in Washington, DC. It’s classy, has hot dancers, is friendly, and is not as dark and stuffy as Camelots. The…

I visited Archibald's with my brother-in-law on Wednesday night last week. We arrived around 10:30 and the place was pretty dead. A Heineken was $8 and the girls were…

Visited while in town on business recently. I had visited before, but usually during the daytime. When I went at night, they had second floor opened as well as the basement. Only…

Visited this club and Louis while in DC on business. Both were in walking distance to my hotel. This club is alittle better but the "no touching " thing really sucks!!…

As others have stated, this is a strange club. Very small. Thankfully, there is no smoking there anymore. It used to reek. Went on a Sunday night, no cover charge, but the…

This was a very unusual place. The women were all 7-9's, but NO TOUCH. The girls get nude quick, then the line forms of guys awkwardly standing at the stage…

Was in town on business and decided to stop by before heading back to the hotel. This place is strictly no-touch, including when tipping the girl on stage. There…

I'll have to say that the place was crowded, but then again there aren't any good options in DC. It's friendly and they had two stages going. And in DC that's all…

Visited a few times during recent stop in D.C. I like the format. 2 girls dance on separate stages while customers relax with drinks. No lap dances, but girls…

I was at this club a few days ago, on a tues evening. Walk in, down a flight of stairs. A bouncer meets you at the door and asked if I'd…

Same experience mentioned earlier with the bouncer: As I walked in the bouncer let me know that there is NO touching of the dancers. Also carded me which is a bit unusual…

High end club, mostly catering towards older, upscale crowd (lawyers, lobbyists, business guys). The girls are attractive 6-8 most of them with a variety of caucasian, latino, etc girls. There…

This was my first visit to Archibald's, DC clubs have always turned me off with the no touching rule. But I was with a buddy and we wanted to throw a…

I still can't understand this place: I get the no touching, no lapdance rule, so the girls have only tips to work on. Yet, they are mostly quite pleasant. Few people…

This place continues to improve. They got rid of most of the Russian girls who detracted from the experience. And they've hired a large number of new dancers--pretty attractive group. So kudos…

Archibald's is now my favorite club in DC. Best price to dancer quality / atmosphere / neighborhood ratio. Glass of wine here is $8 compared to $12 at Camelot. Dancers are attractive,…

Went to Archie's on a recent Friday night, and was impressed by the quality of the dancers. There seem to be a lot of Eastern European types here, which is fine…

Someone else described this club as seedy. Ridiculous. Traditonally a high class club. Attractive dancers, good food, overpriced but not as overprieced as other clubs, nice waitresses, well-run by management. Good location, too. Safe…

We went here on a Sunday night with three of my friends. We had not been here forever as it is usually considered somewhat seedy compared to Camelot which is only…

I might like this place better if I came later. If I try it one more time, I'll try to do that. As it was, I gave it a second…

Hadn't been in here in about six months as the quality of the dancers had deteriorated, making me reluctant to spend my money here. Went in a couple times this past week…

Hadn't been to Archibalds in about a year. First thing you notice is the effect of the DC smoking ban. You can stop in for a while and go back…

My company has business in Washington, so I have been dodging those trips because of the lack of lap dances in the immediate area. This past week, however, I had to…

I've somehow managed to avoid Archibald's in the 6 years of living in the DC area, until just the other day when temptation got the best of me strolling around K street.…

This place is a good mix between a regular "sports bar" and a strip club. Last friday night, it was more like a sports bar. My brother and I stopped…

While visiting DC last week I was looking for some relaxation. I stopped in Archibald's. The dancers that were working were in the 6-9 range. Some very beautiful with great bodies. As…

This remains my old stand-by...the kind of club you go to just because it's consistent and comfortable. I'm not there often enough to be a "regular," but have been going for…
