Town Danceboutique (Closed Permanently)

Incredibly Overrated and Uneventful

As many stated already - very rude staff, typical snotty gay circuit crowd, outrageously over priced and down right way too crowded. Rough area too - let's just say if your parking a few blocks away or even 50 feet away your going to be clutching your wallet and be on alert. Only thing I actually like about the place is the bar area with the projection decor is pretty cool looking but still not worth going.

BIG Let down

Just got back from Town- totally blew. I was hyped on the fact it as supposed to be the next Nations. Not even close- not even in the same ball park. I grew up on Playskool, Raves, hell Tracks had more punch. Secure parking was $15, cover charge was $10, and the cheapest bottle of beer was $5.50. There was half naked dudes dancing on platforms, dudes running around without shirts on and the ones who did had t!tty shirts on. Even the transsexuals were just ugly dudes in straight up drag but there were no creepy old men cruisin' the joint so that's a plus. Basic guy to girl ratio was about 20 dudes for every girl and as far as music goes, they kept playing Pink over and over which, as far as I'm concerned, possesses no real musical talent no matter how complex the mash-up. Now if you're looking for Oakenfold, Vargo, Coldcut, Govinda, Junkie XL mixes or even some old Alice Deejay, Banco de Gaia, or even some remixed old-school jungle keep looking. Friday's a big night for DJ's and there was virtually no spinning, just pop mash-up of pop radio tracks. Club 5, Rumors, Cobalt, and the Black Cat are a completely different setup and your money is better spent between those four. It'll become a staple on the gay circuit for certain otherwise don't bother. I counted five straight dudes on a Friday night and the few straight girls were in their late teens or early twenties. Oh yeah- no smoking either. Not even a patio. They had some cramped wooden outside stall and you had to hold your smoke close so you didn't burn the dude next to you. Sorry dudes- gave it whirl on an inside tip and whish I had chilled at Club 5 with some champaign instead.

LOVED IT!!

So I went to Town last Friday and had a BLAST! Everyone was HOT, LOVED IT!

ew

A new Nation

I just came back from school up north to finally find a club back home that is worth comparing to clubs in New York and Boston. The place is packed with literally hundreds of guys, the club has plenty of space, the music is better than what you'd expect, and you can party til 5. Yes, drinks are expensive, and so is parking and cover, but it's DC, would you expect any less? Spend the dough, take the boys out and party at a place that seems to defy genres for gays, and for once in a long time party like you would at Nation.
