About

You walk down two flights into a basement club that feels like a fallout shelter. The industrial space splits left into a big dance floor with a DJ booth and right into a bar facing an elevator. A second bar sits past that, next to a kinky statue of Michelangelo's David.

An open cage lounge area anchors the left side. The place was packed when one reviewer visited, with gogo dancers and a mixed crowd of hunky guys and some women. Cover runs $15, clothes check is $5, and a rum and coke cost $11. DJ Mitch Ferrino was spinning that night.

Located in Columbia Heights, a lively DC neighborhood with easy metro access and plenty of bars and restaurants.

From the community

This Columbia Heights club is located two flights down in a basement. I visited in the early morning hours of Sunday, November 23, 2025, and a female security guard frisked me. The entrance fee was $15. The dance floor and DJ booth are on the left; to the right is a bar facing an elevator, and beyond that is another smaller bar next to a statue of David that has a kinky twist. On the left side, a large open cage hides the lounge area. A hallway past the smaller bar leads to the bathrooms and a coat check that costs $5. I spent $11 on a rum and coke. The venue was very crowded with many attractive men and a few women. There were two go-go dancers, but some customers were even more attractive. The DJ played fantastic music. I plan to return. Highlights include excellent music but long wait times.
