An intimate dance floor ties it all together. Another VIP corner exists across from the booth. On the other side of the DJ booth is another slightly raised VIP alcove. Moving through the venue to the DJ area, you’ll find the booth to the right, next to the bar. The golden, bullet hole-filled bar and crystal ceiling design are eye-catching to say the least.

Bow tie-laden bartenders serve a variety of beverages from the typical favorites to Heist DC mixology specials like The Bearcat (rum, fresh blackberries, lemon juice) and Robert the Bruce (12 year-old Scotch, yellow chartreuse, green tea). The DC lounge is set up more or less into 2 sections: a bar area and a DJ area.ĭescending into the most pimped out nightlife prison you will ever see, there’s a bar area ahead/to the right with a VIP alcove around the corner. And the crowd at this VIP lounge? Surprisingly fun-loving a breath of fresh air from your typical ‘look at me i’m someone important’ douchey VIP crowd.Īs mentioned, Heist DC’s chic design combined with its low capacity and fun crowd (who popped an awful lot of Ace of Spades while we were there), allows the door staff to be rather selective with whom they allow inside. Getting the door staff to acknowledge your existence is not easy, but the management, bartenders and cocktail waitresses are great. Highlights of what was no doubt a hefty interior design bill include gold-plated urinals, a Swarovski crystal piece above the bar and bullet holes in the bar (they shot it up, then installed it). Atmosphere: Ownership held nothing back when rebranding the former Fly Lounge as Heist.Address: 1802 Jefferson Place, Washington DC.
