Eighteenth Street Lounge

"18th Street Lounge is a DC staple for good music, good vibes and all the dancing. So happy that ESL reopened to continue to support the DC nightlife community. Highly recommend a night out here!"

"What a vibe! Came here on my birthday with a group of ~10. We arrived around midnight, and the top floor was packed and everybody was dancing to a variety of instrumental house, R&B, and Latin music. To find space for our group, we moved downstairs where there was also a dance floor and bar. Music was mainstream but it was fun and the DJ knew what he was doing. We moved back upstairs later and the music was still choice. There’s plenty of coat hooks and a coat rack, and water stands so I felt comfy. It wasn’t too busy by 1am, so there was space to move. Only downside is that the patio was closed."

"My husband and I recently held a semi-private event at ESL. The staff was extremely friendly and helped us host a great event. The drinks were strong and tasty. The patio was enclosed so we could spend time outside even in the cool temperatures. Overall, the vibes were immaculate :) We couldn't have asked for a better place to host for our event!"

"As a customer of the former Eighteenth Street Lounge, I wasn’t sure how this new spot was going to be like— I had some concerns about it and just wanted to give it a try last Thursday. They have amazing bartenders like Caro. She is SUPER friendly and funny. Her cocktails tastes so good which is why I will definitely be back. The new concept is also nice. They have enough place for everyone to dance. I feel like this would a great spot for large group of friends."

"Been here several times before. Great to see the transformation into the Bacardi Rum Room. I love the vintage feel of it. Lots of modern hacks but it gives you vibes of a time that has passed."
