- Atmosphere: Josephine Lounge in Washington DC is famous for the luxurious playground it provides The District’s young, upscale, fun-loving thrill seekers. Named after Napoleon’s first wife, the lounge is described as “a dark and mysterious adult fun house, all done up in black walls, lavender lights and multifaceted mirrors with embedded LEDs everywhere you look.”
Venue Overview
Entry to this chic DC lounges can be difficult on most nights. The attractive patrons one encounters upon descent into this playground for adults justifies the door policy. Large columns throughout the venue are adorned with diamond-shaped mirrors containing small LED lights between them. Plush VIP tables surround a sunken dance floor, while others line the top. More exist in the club’s Gold Room.
Upon entering, to the immediate right are two bars in an ‘L’ shape, forming the outline of a small dance floor. The servers are some of DC’s hottest bartenders. The DJ booth extends just beyond the second bar and hangs over the sunken dance floor. Imagine the hottest people in DC thrown into a plush VIP area, enjoying the finer points of inebriation. And don’t worry if you didn’t purchase a table, you can still get down. Coming out of ‘The Pit’ on the other side one finds themselves entering the Josephine Gold Room. A kingly area that can open to the rest of the club, or clos off via a floating wall. It features a newly remodeled bar that spans the length of the room as well as a more open space that features an increased number of intimate VIP nooks. Josephine lounge in Washington DC is a place to see, be seen, hide, stay hidden, party hard, or take it easy
