Formula for a magical night out: pregame at home, head to a chill bar and have a drink, go to the club and dance for hours, then grab a slice of pizza or two to finish the evening 😌 here are my recs to achieve your perfect dc night?

Yep, it’s a deli shop. BUT, go there at 11pm, and there’s a line wrapping through the place to a back door with a speakeasy club! Thank me later 😌 (and order a fire shot at the bar)

This is where you’re gonna see Steve Aoki, Tiesto, Gryffin, and other dj’s! Make sure you buy tickets in advance, and keep your phone on LOCK, because I got my phone stolen here once 😭 but always a great time when it comes to dancing!

Such a fun vibe! Get some bottle service if you’re feeling fancy, or hang out in the mob and dance to the music 💃

I think this place has the most variety out of any place I’ve been to - one second it’s Kendrick, and then the next they’re mixing it with Vienna by Billy Joel. Get a hat drink while you’re at it :)

This place is always doing a themed event: recession pop nights, ABBA nights, just check their website beforehand and see what’s playing that week!

Yes, it’s in the middle of nowhere, but this place is alwaysss popping at 2am. They do sweet and savory crepes and for some reason are always blasting Pitbull while college students dance on their tables, it’s amazing

This chain is just about everywhere, and you can neverrr go wrong with a pepperoni pizza here. Actually a life-changing slice. Especially at 2am. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it tbh
