Last night the ladies of Sip ‘N’ Tell decided to go check out the “Ladies’ Night” at Midtown in Dupont Circle. We were headed out for a night of drinks and dancing, in a more casual fashion though. We threw on our dancing shoes, but kept the outfits low key.
We arrived to discover a 5-7 minute-long line, which we were ok with as last night the temperatures hadn’t dropped too drastically. There were some unsavory characters standing in line that provided for good conversation, but that didn’t stop us from wanting to check out the place. Once we were allowed inside, sans cover as it was Ladies’ Night, we discovered a ridiculously long stair case that was lined with bright white lights (making it hard to see). We made it to the second level only to discover, we had to continue on up to the third level. You definitely burn off some calories for those tequila shots to come.
We made it to the “Loft,” which is what they call the third floor, only to discover there was almost no one inside. Now why did they have us wait in line outside? We went up to the bar to order said tequila shots and discovered a nice little surprise. From 10 p.m. to just before 11 p.m., on Thursday nights, ladies drink free! Now we know why they call it Ladies’ Night. No cover, free drinks, how much better can it get?
Well, let us tell you. The DJ was actually on point. He was spinning records that kept us singing and had there been more of a crowd, people would’ve been out on the dance floor. It doesn’t hurt that he was pretty good looking either, despite his tacky “Drink Till You Want Me” T-shirt.
The bit of crowd that was there consisted of mostly men. We assume it was because of the Ladies’ Night, they were excepting lots of ladies, thus coming out in the masses only to discover the ladies were nowhere to be found. Though, the ladies that were to be found must’ve lost their clothes on the way to the bar, as most of them were scantily clad and just barely pushing 21.
We didn’t stay long because the ladies of Sip ‘N’ Tell do have day jobs, but we enjoyed our time while we were there. We relaxed on some of the bench seats sipping on Tequila Sunrises and Dirty Shirley’s while people watching. We bobbed our heads to the music and enjoyed the fact that we didn’t spend a dime last night, not even on parking (which by the way, we found within minutes).
On our way out we checked out the second floor, which had opened up later. The party seemed to move from the upstairs “Loft” to this level and people were getting fired up. We noticed the dance floor boasted two stripper poles… so those of you that are feeling frisky, hop to.
