A
Five
One of the city's hottest clubs, Five keeps its patrons happy by (1) letting them inside (you won't find super-snotty bouncers here) and (2) offering a smorgasbord of house, reggae and hip-hop with occassional drum & bass spun by well-known local and international DJs. Spanning three floors, Five has a popular Caribbean-inspired rooftop deck. The bars are where to flirt. Coupons (check the local papers) grant free entry until 00:00.

DC Sanctuary
Check your attitude at the door. DC Sanctuary welcomes everyone - black and white, straight and gay - so long as they have an appreciation for soul-soothing house and garage, blue lights, disco balls and a mellow vibe; this is not a pick-up joint. Couches, paintings and a big dance floor fill the minimalist-looking space. The club is in a transitional neighborhood, far from any Metro stop, so you'll need to drive or take a cab.

Play Lounge
How can you resist a place with the motto 'no rules and everyone has a good time?' Especially when said place has a stripper pole that draws lines of girls waiting to show off their moves? The scene at this one-room club is reminiscent of a kick-ass college party - no space and tons of sweaty, thriving bodies. If you're in the right mood (and can get past the burly bouncer), it can be a great place to let loose.

Platinum
Beautiful people all dressed up dance to the usual mélange of world and electronic music at this well-established hotspot housed in a grand former bank. Theme nights include College and Latin; check the website as the schedule changes. Sign up in advance to get on the guest list, in which case there's no cover charge before 23:00.
