Always Raising the Bar
An aerial view shows the former fur factory; now a nightclub with the same name.
Fur is DC’s mega club. The building was once a fur factory, hence the name. With lines known to stretch both sides of the entrance, around the building and down the block; promoter guest lists and bottle service are recommended for fast, easy entry.
Upon entering the club, patrons are provided multiple options. Immediately to the left is a snack bar complete with food, drinks, glow sticks and everything else required to enhance your experience. Straight ahead is a massive bar and to the left, VIP booths. Around the bar is the Martini room, boasting a dance floor, raised DJ booth and private VIP box. Beyond is a doorway leading to the Mafia Room on one side and coat check and patio on the other. The Mafia Room’s dance floor gives way to a staircase leading to a raised bar/lounge area. The patio hosts a stage, DJ booth, tiki bar and roped section of benches and tables to enjoy hookah.

The first electronic dance music announcement at Live Nation’s The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD is the drummer-DJ duo Pretty Lights.
Their style? A glitchy hip-hop/synth fusion with vintage funk and soul samples.
Pretty Lights have banged out everywhere from Coachella and EDC to Rothbury, Bisco and Ultrafest. We weren’t able to get them on the Identity DC line up but figure this should make up for it!!

The Park at Fourteenth, Washington DC
Whether you’re coming to sip $5 cocktails during happy hour, have an American-style comfort food dinner, or party all night, The Park at Fourteenth offers all three!
Located in the heart of downtown across from Franklin Square, a night at The Park at Fourteenth is like partying at a superclub without getting lost in the crowd. Boasting four stories, The Park offers a bit of everything for everybody.
Stepping past the tight door security, you’ll likely hear a combo of hip hop, R&B, and top 40s dance hits once inside. With ample seating and numerous tables, grab a drink and find some space where you can “see and be seen.” Swing by the bar and try one of the four house specialty cocktails – Park Fever, Park Punch, Park Margarita, and Berry Blossom!
With four floors and an overlooking mezzanine, The Park at Fourteenth is a DC nightlife destination!
Chat with the elevator operator on a ride to the second floor and soak in the main level dance scene. Then catch a ride again on the elevator or take the stairs in the back up to the third and fourth levels for a change of scenery and music.
On Saturdays, the third floor is host to The Park’s “Multicultural Night,” where people of different backgrounds come to socialize and party together to international beats. On other nights, the third and fourth floors tend to boast R&B, house music, and other dance varieties.
When you’re done checking out the club’s impressive collection of blown-glass chandeliers or watching ESPN on the flat screen TVs, go socialize and get your dance on! Boasting a diverse crowd of all different races and ages, even though the average age of the crowd may be a little more mature than typical DC clubs and lounges, The Park provides a spot for plenty of mixing and mingling!
A stunning view from VIP at The Park at 14th. Amazing!

Current Sushi and Lounge, Washington DC
Current offers a sophisticated combination of fine dining with a sleek lounge atmosphere. A staple for locals during happy hour and popular spot for after dark dancing and lounging, Current serves up both some of the city’s best sushi and nightlife vibes.
Conceived of as “an ultra-futuristic luxury yacht,” says partner Richard Koch, Current boasts two floors, fully stocked bars, an interactive sushi bar and cool atmosphere. Along with the artistic touches of portholes and overhead ribs, a projection screen adds to the lounge’s nautical vibe as it plays sweeping ocean views, as well as hit movies.
The delicacies of Head Sushi Chef Niki Shimasaki and kitchen of Toyaki Kitamura satisfy the appetites of Current’s hungry patrons until 11 pm on weekdays and midnight on the weekends. Climbing the floating staircase to upstairs, a rotation of predominantly local DJs keeps the crowd jamming into the night on the translucent dance floor or grooving along on the row of couches. Keep on going and you’ll hit the rooftop for some fresh air and more dancing. The music selection at Current covers a variety of genres and is anything from house and electronic to mash-ups, top 40s, and hits songs from the past 30 years.
While table reservations are readily available, a seat at the “Captain’s Table” is the pinnacle of Current’s exquisite bottle service options. For $2,000 minimum, the Captain’s Table seats up to 20 guests, offers great views of outside, and has a private elevator that shoots straight to street level without having to wait in line.
Since Current isn’t a colossal venue but has plenty to offer, entry is best recommended earlier in the night. After working up a sweat upstairs dancing, be sure to also check out the chill outdoor patio in back.
