Madam’s Organ

Madam’s Organ ‘Where the beautiful people go to get ugly, ’ according to the T-shirt. It’s not far off the mark – this is the kind of perfect dive where you’ll see a beautiful girl shaking her ass on the bar one minute and puking in the bathroom the next. An enigmatic ramshackle place that’s been around forever, Madam’s Organ was once named one of Playboy magazine’s favorite bars in America. The live jazz, blues and bluegrass can be downright riot-inducing. There is a roving magician, a raunchy bar-dancing scene, and funky decor with stuffed animals and bizarre paintings on the 1st floor. God bless you, you weird and wonderful Organ – keep DC strange.
