The night is always young in Washington DC. Bars, clubs, party places dot the city for your guilty pleasure. But don’t wait up, the night’s revelries end on or before 2am so start early. The Atlas District has something different to offer those who are more curious than usual.
Where else can you find sword-swallowing bartenders, hand dancing lessons and live go-go and indie rock bands, while a few steps down are a black-box theater and intimate neighborhood taverns. The quirkiest bar in Washington is the Palace of Wonders. Peek into the second floor for sideshow oddities and carnival memorabilia.
