Washington DC: Nightlife Question


A good friend of mine just sent me the following question. Seeing as how I didn’t know the answer, I figured I’d open it up to the TNG community:

I have good friends, a couple, visiting from Israel (one just had F2M surgery here) who are looking for a fun night out Fri or Sat (3/14 and 3/15). They are not too into dancing, but would prefer something more homey and social. They said F2Ms are not very welcome in lesbian bars/clubs in Israel. Is that the case here in DC? They usually go to queer nights out that are more inclusive. I’d like to show them a good time while they’re here! Any suggestions?

So, what do I tell her? Do I send her friends (a woman and FTM couple) to Cobalt? Phase 1? Blowoff? Fab Friday? Remmingtons? Or maybe Right Round at the Black Cat? What are your thoughts?


First time here? See what we're all about... Get involved... Send us a tip!...

    The DC Cats Transmasculine society is having an event at Phase 1 on Saturday.

    From dcezgoer via the QUALM email list:

    Freddie’s in Virginia. I know for a fact that when a M2F had her surgery the people threw her an “it’s a girl” shower. I’d say that’s pretty inclusive. On the downside..its a smoking joint.

    Another link for DCATS.

    Is it just me, or does that DCATS flyer really say absolutely nothing about what the event is or why I would want to attend? If the event is for people already “in the know” why bother making flyers?

    Re: the DCATS flyer

    I also noticed that there wasn’t a lot of info on the flyer. It might be because DCATS as a group isn’t geared towards providing entertainment, and maybe they just didn’t think to include more info on their flyer or website.

    Either way, it’s a great cause and I’m definitely going there Saturday night.
