This top-notch two-story lounge club is so exclusive that it neither advertises nor dispalys its name on the door. Among its patrons are big-time politicians, celebrity locals and with-it visitants who uphold the high-brow tradition set by the former Prez. Known as ESL, bouncers keep vigil outside, making sure no jeans/trainers-clad folk get inside and disturb the ambiance with glamorous females clad in Prada, Dolce and Versace lying back on the couches and enjoying their negronis, whilst rakish men in Armani puff imported cigars over bourbon on the rocks. Music "cocktails" masterly mixed by in-house DJs fill up the atmosphere with powerful and seductive energy, carried by hot urban tunes and boogie, inciting some of the guests to take to the dance floor.

Nightclub 9:30 (originally known and still commonly referred to as the 9:30 Club) is a nightclub and concert venue in Washington, D.C. Originally located at 930 F Street, NW, Washington, D.C., in the 1970s it was called the "Atlantis Club", and hosted primarily rock, New Wave, and punk bands. After the Atlantis closed, in 1980 the venue reopened as the 9:30 Club, the name reflecting its address. Co-owned by Rich Heinecke and Seth Hurwitz, it later moved to its current location at 815 V Street in Northwest Washington. The 9:30 Club is served by the U Street/African-American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo station of the Washington Metro. The club has a capacity of 1200 people and is a standing-only venue. It won the Top Club award at the 2007 and 2009 Billboard Touring Awards.
