We went on a Saturday night. When you first get to the door, there is a metal detector and someone there collecting cover fees. It is heavily congested, we couldnt even walk into the door because 2 guys were having a conversation. I pushed past them and went downstairs. Online they charge 50-100 for VIP, I have seen more expensive fees in other reviews. They have more VIP than dance floor. Literally everyone is crowded in one area unless you pay for a couch, rope and table. We were able to find RSVP tickets online and I glad we didnt have to pay to get in there, as we were not there for very long. But the person at the door was charging $20. As out of towners there is a different ambiance to DC as a whole, but when I got into privilege I just felt like it was a competition. Everyone staring at you up and down and no one really dancing, just chiefing it up. You could smell it from the street before walking in too. Maybe a good scene for some people, but way too much going on for it to be a lounge. We tried to get a hookah, I asked the smaller bar at the front for the price, she said she thought it was $65 but I would have to go to the back bar, which was VERY crowded. For the prices they charge, the energy of the club does not meet expectations. They need to change the name from lounge, to a smoke out bottle service venue because thats what it is. Our clothes smelled heavily of ganja when we left, and none of us smoke.
