Dance Dance... and go go boys.

Okay if you want secure parking in the ghetto it costs 10 dollars... thanks. Walking into town... I'd say that the place is really nice, large, upscale. Unless you show up before ten p.m. and sit through the dragqueenathon you have to pay 10 dollars... so is that trying to politely say something about there drag shows. Then the drinks are kind of expensive, but i don't think I really want to go there. The dancing and music is great, the light show is pretty fierce. The Go-go boys for the most point are cute and friendly. My friend dropped his christian dior sunglasses and this nice go go boy with a mic tattooed on his body picked them up and gave them to him when he dropped them. So If it wasn't for the music, dancing and go-go boys I think town would just be a pretty club with drag queens galor and expensive drinks. WHERE ARE ALL THE DRINK SPECIALS!!! I hate the fact that if I arrive after 10 pm i pay 10 dollars for parking, 10 dollars for entrance... and by the time i go to get a few drinks ive spent over 40 dollars... now where as apex i do believe is cheaper... town is kind of expensive... i'll keep apex and others in my pocket... town... eh 3 outta 5.

Amazing space and finally DC has a place to dance

This is a brand new club with a fresh fun approach to the dance scene. Two levels – each level’s walls are dressed with huge video screens playing unique videos of nature and other soothing themes – while pumping out great upbeat music. Both levels are large – but the whole place has a lounge like – upscale feeling to it. There is also u huge chill out lounge on the second level – for when you feel like getting away from the music for a few minutes. Hot boys everywhere – fast friendly staff.

Lame New Year's Eve for 08???

If you want to spend a lame New Year's Eve in 2008, head over to Town Boutique. Here is the scoop for 2007 NY's Eve....for $20.00 - let's see - you get to sweat to death (could you maybe turn the air on when there are 1,000+ sweaty people jumping around in one building) - stand in lines 6 deep to get a watered down drink - pay $3.00 to hang up your coat sans tip - and oh yeah - entertainment - DJ's who cannot finish one song completely without interrupting it 15 times with their own personal "style". When the countdown hit t-15 - one drag queen and her entourage of 2 came out to welcome in 2008! I believe the owners of Town think that because the gay night life of SE is gone that they can charge whatever they want - provide next to nothing - and take every dime a gay man has to give and we will welcome the opportunity to have a place to "hang". Well, for the money honey - leave it at home - it's not worth the trip. I was expecting something at least on par with Zigfeld's and got something less entertaining and fulfilling than TGI Friday's.

Wonderful to have a new dance bar but...........

It is great to have a new dance bar in the Washington area. But I am disappointed in 2 things. First, John should know better having been part of Tracks and Nation, that lighting is extremely important in a club. Where are the lasers and the advanced nightclub lighting?? Second, I am getting tired of these clubs using crushed ice so that they can get less liquor and mix in the drinks. When you are paying the prices that you do, you should be getting your money's worth. The drinks lately have been very weak. Hopefully these things will change.
