Means most spots are dangerous and cater to a lower class crowd and the problems that come with that scene. The only other people with disposable income are college students or young professionals who hang around the university areas for 2-4 years after graduation getting work experience, then head off to a more permanent place of residence. A very suburban immature "Irish bar" American vibe, equally as frustrating to me.....never found any spots in DC zi enjoyed going out in.
DC is simply too transient and family oriented for upper middle class 25+ single types.....which typically support/own the best bars and clubs in my experience. The metro closing early/not having a stop in Georgetown has also has never helped.
WTA, if you long for the "club scene" of 15 years ago you aren't too hard to please. Head up to The Bronx or Yonkers. You can revel in the glory of fat women, low education and not-too overpriced alcohol.
That all being said, it did amaze me to see how much money/investment had been pumped into the District downtown. Unrecognizable outside of the monuments compared to the 90s. On a Sunday afternoon in the 90s I remember newspapers flying by me walking to the convenience store downtown, and the only other people I would see would be bums/alcoholics and drug addicts. Place is full of outsiders now, and full of retail.
