If I am going to blog about DC Fabulous-n-Favored hot spots, I can’t go without mentioning the Park at Fourteenth. This nightclub is the mecca of nightclubs in the District. I am convinced everyone has experienced this establishment in some capacity.
For starters, The Park is in a prime location, on the corner of 14th and K St NW. It is a four-story nightclub with a covered and heated patio area. It is not uncommon to see actors and actresses, NBA players, and well-known musician on any given club night here. The Park offers a happy hour that is second to known as far as food, drink options, seating areas, and VIP treatment.
I could blog about the food alone. The food here is amazing! Some of my favorite menu items are the mac and cheese, jerk chicken wings, and sautéed spinach. But trust me, you can’t go wrong with anything on this menu.
My favorite nights for The Park is Thursday for happy hour and Friday for a night of dancing. The Park is open from Thursday through Saturday. Thursdays’ Happy Hour is always packed, and filled with a crowd of young professionals, well-dressed, and ready to unwind. Thursdays’ Happy Hour spills into the evening for partying, but isn’t typically as fun as Friday night. Friday night, come dressed to impressed. The Park is the most popular spot, in my opinion, to party on a Friday night if you are looking for a young, attractive crowd looking to hear current hip hop music.
This is a very large establishment that opened in November of 2007. It is a spin-off from the popular nightclub “Love“, and ran by the same management. The Park was established to be a more grown and sexy nightlife destination in the city. It has a seating capacity of 250 and group capacity of 650 patrons.
Now that I have been in the city for a while, I am on a quest to find the next “The Park“. At this point to me it is a tourist attraction. For out of towners it is a must-experience club in DC. But, for locals, it’s old news! I only go there as a “plan b” option. Not to knock the club, I have just had my share of The Park nights out and I am ready for a new go-to spot.
With that said, it is a great club and if you haven’t been you should check it out! Below are some pictures of my favorite outings throughout the past 3 years at The Park. Enjoy!
