A tale of two black DC clubs:
I recently discovered
Afropolitan. It is an African club, more of an event really, that meets on the first Friday of every month. If you want to meet black girls who behave more like European girls, this is highly recommended. You will hear English, French, Pidgin, Swahili, Igbo, Yoruba, etc. spoken there, and songs in all those languages.
I was told there is also an after-party after 10 where they also play rap, but I cannot say anything about it as as we left before this.
Talent--I didn't see any supermodels, but there were quite a few very cute girls, who were not at all bitchy. If you like some tight, serious ass, this is a place for you. Of course there were a few usual land whales, but they were in a distinct minority.
Do dress up--I saw people in cocktail dresses, suit and tie. It appears Africans do not look down on good dress and manners.
I was one of the 2 or 3 other white guys there, and I never felt threatened or uncomfortable or unwelcome in any way. Very enjoyable experience overall.
Bar 7: I was there with a group of friends, about 2 years ago. You kinda have to get a VIP table as the site insists. We split it among ourselves.
This is an American black club. Hip-hop is music of choice. $300 champagne bottles delivered to fireworks in order to alert everyone to patron's affluence.
Talent--*sigh*... The girls fell into two models: the tall, skinny version with face so busted it'll make you flinch; and short, fat version the size of a refrigerator. No waist, straight lines up and down. There were three pretty girls there--two waitresses, and a tourist from New York. She visited her sister, the refrigerator type.
Outside, some girl chatted me up. All of a sudden--I swear I saw smoke--a guy appeared out of nowhere, like a ninja: "Sir, this lady is taken, you shouldn't speak with her." She waved him off: "It's OK, I spoke with him first." Puff of smoke, he disappeared into the ether as before. She was at best a 5, through beer goggles.
It seemed like a club for blacks only, with no one other invited or welcome.
I hope it changed. I haven't been back since.
