Adams Morgan

Party On the Strip

AdMo, as it’s often called, has a vibrant night life scene catering the mid 20′s to 30′s crowd that still wants to party like its college. The DC neighborhood also has a ton of hookah bars and ethnic restaurants. Be careful driving down 18th street on a Friday/Saturday night… parking is horrible, people will be walking in the streets and cops will definitely pull you over for failing to yield.

District Nightclub

District is the only club-style venue in AdMo; featuring wrap-around mezzanine, dance floor and fire-breathing bartenders.

A late night kitchen, 3 bars, and VIP tables, District is a centerpiece of Adams Morgan nightlife.

Not a nightlife venue per se, but Tryst is definitely a place to be in Adams Morgan.

It’s ‘that third place’ between work and home for people to relax.

Hookah Bars and Lounges

Adams Morgan is famous for its numerous hookah bars and lounges.

Some are nice, some are nice but full of shady-looking dudes.

All are great places to pre-game and figure out where you want to go. We recommend Soussi.
