Spot Lounge | 1214 18th Street NW, Washington, DC
I recently stepped into Spot Lounge, a fairly new lounge in Washington DC that was previously named Andalu located at 1214 18th Street NW. From the outside, I wasn't sure where to go because there are three entrances to three different lounges with doors right next to each other - one of them being Spot Lounge.
I remember the entrance being black and the Spot Lounge logo reading "Spot" in a funky fabulous label above the door. When you walk inside, there's little space to move about so you and your crew are going to want to be organized at the door and enter straight down into the club. To my surprise, and unlike many venues I've entered, you are lead downstairs into the lounge.
The entire decorum and design of the lounge is very refreshing. There are beautiful art pieces on the walls and you almost feel like you're in actual cave... a very chic cave. Around the corner, before getting to the bar, there is an area where you can check your coats (seasonal) and to the left of it are the restrooms. One of my favorite things about the restroom section is that the bathrooms are separate from this long mirror and sink where you're able to fluff yourself before you head out to the dancefloor.
Finding a spot at the bar may be a bit tedious in a large crowd, but the bartenders are very friendly amidst the hectic environment. Perhaps due to the way the lounge is built - no windows and underground - the music sounds amazing. Though the temperature below ground can get a bit over-heated the lounge has one of those dry ice blowers to cool you off.
My only warning is for those who may have a problem being in tight spaces - this may not be the place for you especially when it gets extremely packed. But, I personally loved the lounge and the people that I met there. It was very entertaining and the crowd was gorgeous.
