The former Play Lounge draws a 20-something crowd for bottle service parties and dancing to mashups.

I will never go back to this place. EVER. You would think that the ridiculously priced drinks would keep out low lifes but my purse was stolen in the only 5 seconds of the entire night I took my eyes off it. The staff was not helpful and actually quite rude. I was also overcharged on my bar tab before my credit card was stolen. Stay away from this place.
i ONLY BOUT 4 DRINKS AT $7 A PIECE AND WAS CHANGED $34 INSTEAD OF $28. IT WS ATKEN OFF MY CARD AND I HAD A HORRIBLE TIME TRYING TO REACH A MGR. BAR TENDERS DEFINANTLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO THEY THINK ARE DRUNKEN. DO NOT RECOMMEND
Went for a friend's birthday. Staff was aloof and arrogant. Drinks are ridiculously expensive, and for what? It's not like you get live entertainment, just a crappy DJ. Bouncer was very rude.
Took my friends out here one night. Upon arriving, the bouncer at the door asks me if I want to do the "$100 open bar deal" tonight. He said that I could use it for myself and the few friends that I brought. Sounds too good to be true right? I ask him multiple questions to make sure we understand the terms of the deal - I confirm w/ him that I will pay only $100 plus whatever tip I want for drinks for myself and my friends. It was too good to be true. Two hours later they were trying to charge me $400. When I tried to ask the same bouncer why he told me it was a $100 deal he ignored me. Horrible employees that, from the looks of the rest of these posts, definitely will scam and screw you over. Now disputing the charge with my credit car
The owner is some Pakistani guy by the name of Michael Romeo. 'nuff said.
CHECK THIS OUT! Second charge was for a table, which I never got. The bill came out close to $300. Total for one night came out to $500. They charge you extra b/c apparently they think you are drunk. Managers didn't listen to me, service sucks. "OH and the wost thing was!" They crossed out my tip and added addition $20 and forged my signature which didn't match. I found that out when I went to argue with them the next day to get their copy of the receipt. WORST EXPERIENCE!!!!!
DC City Blog has a pretty good review of the venue at http://www.dccityblog.com/midtown In general, I enjoyed the club although I don't think it is on par with Current, which is right next door.
Gave it a try on Saturday night and I must say that my friends and I had a lousy time. With so many options in DC i see no reason why anyone should even consider going to midtown. The drinks were overpriced and watered down. The front door staff was very rude!!!!
I am a frequent visitor on the lounge/club scene in D.C. and never have I been treated as horribly as I was here. My boyfriend and I got a table with a group of our friends, a mix of guys and girls. Spending the amount of money we did, and being harassed at the door is absurd. They kept saying, yeah we'll see if you're on the list, and turn around and talk to their buddies at the door. It was very unprofessional and I will never go here again, and I am making sure to tell all my friends to also not come here. It took us 20 minutes to get in. I personally, have never waited in line to get into Park or Tattoo all lounge/clubs I highly recommend rather than going to Midtown. Midtown and their employees suck!
