A Look INside: Recess Lounge




Recess Lounge | 727 15th Street NW, Washington, DC



Upon approach of Recess Lounge, you may miss it, as it is a small lounge located underground off of 15th street underneath a beautiful white building. Take the steps to the right to enter, and you'll find a very posh, quaint club that holds a variety of Nightlife Events throughout the week.

Before entering the club, you'll see the coat-check to your right where you can check your coat for about $4 when its cold outside, and then enter straight into the main floor. There is a very small bar in this venue, as well as a small dance floor, and 4-5 VIP sections around the lounge. But, this doesn't take away from the great bottle and bar service that they have.

I found the lighting above the dance floor to be very creative and appealing - as well as the fact that they have long mirror in the hallway outside of the bathrooms so that you can make sure you enter the dance floor in your best form. The DJ booth sits slightly above the party which centers each event around the music.

Overall, it seems to be a great venue with perhaps a clashing set of events held there, given the venue's attributes. It seems it would cater better to a upscale-only, small, and exclusive crowd as opposed to the normal open-to-everyone party. But, we'll see, lounges are always renovating, expanding, and innovating-- I'm sure there's many great things to come from Recess Lounge.
