Must-see nightlife in Mid-Atlantic States

  • Bossa

    Washington, DC

    Dark, intimate, close and sexy – that's the scene at Bossa. The soundtrack, if you couldn't guess: jazz, flamenco and bossa nova played in the candlelit…

  • Kelly’s Irish Times

    Washington, DC

    Kelly’s implores on its front sign: ‘Give me your thirsty, your famished, your befuddled masses,’ and the masses respond. Fans of the on-tap Guinness and…

  • Number Nine

    Washington, DC

    Two-story Number Nine looks like it should be a total den of obnoxiousness, what with its super-sleek, spaceship-style furniture and Euro too-cool-for…

  • Habana Village

    Washington, DC

    Squeezed into an old town house with a cosmopolitan bar and romantic back room, the Village is as close as DC gets to Cuba. That's not particularly close,…

  • Rocket Bar

    Washington, DC

    Rocket Bar is an almost inexplicably popular pool hall, although there’s lots more going on than shooting some stick – shuffle board, Golden Tee, all the…

  • Green Lantern

    Washington, DC

    The Green Lantern has a mellower bar downstairs, while the 2nd floor is more frisky and clubby. It attracts a slightly older crowd, and there are all…

  • Ugly Mug

    Washington, DC

    An easygoing sports bar, the Mug is nothing fancy and a bit of a dive, but it attracts an interesting mix of preppie Hill types, Marines from the nearby…

  • Star & Shamrock

    Washington, DC

    It’s not every day you come across an Irish pub–Jewish deli fusion. So dig right in to the meaty bagel sandwiches, brisket poutine and matzo ball soup …

  • Blaguard

    Washington, DC

    The Blaguard is a fine bar in which to finish an Adams Morgan night. After you've had too much time dancing and screaming into someone's ear, you want a…

  • Legend Brewing Company

    Richmond

    On the south side of the James River, Legend has excellent microbrews, tasty pub grub and fine views of the city from its popular outdoor deck. There's…

  • Ale Mary's

    Baltimore

    Ale Mary's name and decor pay homage to Maryland's Catholic roots, with crosses and rosaries scattered about. The bar draws a buzzing neighborhood crowd,…

  • Decades

    Washington, DC

    Decades is a big, booming club with three levels of let-loose dance music: one each for ’80s, ’90s and 2000s jams. It's good fun, decorated with glowy…

  • Buffalo Billiards

    Washington, DC

    The 15 pool tables pull college kids and yuppies into this bright, below-street-level cave. There’s usually a wait for a table, so play a little foosball,…

  • Club Charles

    Baltimore

    Hipsters adorned in the usual skinny jeans/vintage T-shirt uniform, as well as characters from other walks of life, flock to this 1940s art deco cocktail…

  • Misha’s Coffee Roaster

    Alexandria

    Great concept and vibe. Disappointing house-roasted coffee. One can only hope that this puzzlingly popular cafe lifts its game when it comes to the…
