Went to club on a Saturday evening around 6pm. Was actually headed to Camelot but they had not opened yet. The club is located 2 doors down from Camelot. You have to…

Fun time but mediocre club
The club is clean and upscale looking. The lighting is super bright. Not my cup of tea, usually. There are 3 floors. 1st floor is pretty boring with a small rotation of dancers on 2…

Some eye candy before Halloween
My first time at Mpire. Previously I’ve been to Archibald’s so had my expectations lowered as far as contact and lap dances. With that in my, this was an enjoyable visit but I’m unlikely to…

Decent upscale, clean, no-touch strip club
This was my first time going to a club in DC. Went on a Wednesday around 5pm so there wasn't many people there. I've never been to Camelot but Mpire is right next to it…

Broken promises, bait and switch
Probably one of the best looking strip clubs that I have been to. The inside was immaculate and upscale. Place looks like it had just been remodeled. Now the space is kinda of tiny. While…

Closing time is not a great time
I approached after 1am—perhaps that’s why they asked no cover. I was whisked inside and quickly found a table next to the bar. The room is not huge, with small tables for the dancers to…

The Mongol Empire was the largest in history until the British Empire came along
Washington D.C. Third stop on a DC strip club journey. Walked my ass here from Archibalds. Two guys at the front, one big black guy greets me, seemed like a friendly dude and checks ID…

Don't Bother
I met some friends in DC for drinks and decided to check out Mpire on my way home. I arrived about 10 on a Wednesday night. There were 3 bouncers on the street. One escorted…

Upscale small club, mixed bag Weeknight
First time going to a club in DC. Went two weeks ago on a Wednesday night. Arrived after midnight. Interestingly enough I told the cab I wanted to go to Camelot and I wasn’t even…

Left frustrated and will never, ever return… ever!
After two DC strip clubs in as many nights, I’m starting to detect a pattern. No touching unless “upstairs” and at premium prices and no seating at the stage. Frankly it is not a compelling…

Nice Vibe, but everything costs a lot
Made it to MPIRE on a Tuesday around 6pm and stayed around 11pm. First time since COVID. A couple of 8s and 9s dancing. Met a nice girl who wanted to be…

So so Sunday night
Visited Mpire on a Sunday night around 11pm. Actually tried Archibald’s and Camelot first and they were both closed. When I arrived club was at capacity unless I wanted to buy a bottle service…

Post Covid visit
Finally some of DC clubs have opened but sadly the city put in allot of Covid rules.
First there is no longer dance on the stage. I know this is just plain insane. Similar to Camelot,…

An earlier review title says it well: Classy joint, mostly hot dancers
Report on 3-4 weekday afternoon visits and one evening visit, all during the last 5-6 weeks:
For DC, this is a pretty good club. It is almost always quiet in the afternoons – a handful of…

Return visit on a Weds night
Was back in DC for a work trip and since I really enjoyed my last visit I decided to give MPire another shot. It was a Wednesday night around 10pm and this time it…

My best visits (afternoon & evening return) to Mpire
This was going to be a review based on 2 recent visits: a recent afternoon visits to Mpire and an earlier visit about 10 days ago. But that attempt to visit Friday was unsuccessful. On…

Bright interior, good variety of body types
Mpire is a crisp, clean, welcoming show club in an upscale DC neighborhood. Be aware, this is a no touching, no lap dance establishment - just set your expectations accordingly.
As many have noted, Mpire…

Looks like Mpire is here today despite a scarcity of afternoon customers. I'm glad.
I decided to check out Mpire again one afternoon. I am always surprised by three things when I visit Mpire: how high-class the club is, how clean the men’s room is and how good the…

Mpire
After spending a couple of hours at nearby Camelot, I walked a few feet over to Mpire. It is a very nice looking elegant club. There was no cover to enter, and I took a…

First time at Mpire. Pricey, low-impact place to chill in Dupont Circle
So, this was the first time I had gone to Mpire, I have always stuck to the PG County clubs but I was around the corner drinking at ESL and on my way back to…

Crowded But Out of Shape Dancers
This club has suffered in the past from a lack of customers. Often it would be nearly empty on the usual slow nights early in the week. It still has problems attracting customers in…

Scenic and chill
I’ve been here before and will always come back. I don’t understand why this club is not rated higher. This club is clean, modern, classy and a great place to sit at the bar and…

Same as usual
It wasn’t very busy, but neither was Camelot next door. A couple of nice lookers, a few not so much. Drinks are very expensive, as are the no contact private dances I won’t…
