Clarendon ballroom, now in a sweaty basement and with black lights so you can SEE all the blood, semen and urine instead of just smelling it.

They saw their clientele and said "why even pretend we're not the basement of that frat house that got kicked off campus for too many roofie incidents?"

When people ask why I think DC is such a sanitized and boring place for a major international city, I can just show them this list

Maybe this photo - "this photo captures nightlife in DC"

Not sure exactly what you mean by "reserved" but my favorite non-fancy/neighborhood bars (don't you dare call them dives!) are Trusty's, Tune Inn, Wonderland, The Raven, Atomic Billiards, Nanny's, The Pug, Dan's Cafe, (for real this time) the Blaugard, Marx Cafe, Bedrock Billiards, the Red Derby, and Lyman's.

Do not go to Departures. I don’t even think it qualifies as a bar.

I wouldn't count Hill East Burger as a "win" for nightlife, or dining, in our neck. Show of Hands/Shelter at The Roost? Meh. I'll stick to Trusty's.

I’m definitely going to try the new burger spot.

It's totally cool that you want to support neighborhood businesses. Just be prepared for: ordering via QR code, food brought by runners, an automatic 20% service fee for said lack of service.

I went by last week to try it out. Saw the sign saying I had to order from their QR code, and immediately split. First of all, I didn't have my phone on me. Second, that's trash and I refuse to be a part of it.
