Milonga on Tuesdays at the 18th St. Lounge
A restored town house mansion, the Lounge is one of DC's most exclusive clubs and an enticing environment for modern tango dancers, with original hardwood flooring, high ceilings, and comfy antique couches and chairs all around.
Plan for a quality evening of relaxed dancing. 18th Street Lounge has been legendary in DC nightlife for years, so hip, in fact, that the entrance is secret and unmarked! Check online for a photo of the entrance, which will help you find your way up the purple carpet stairway. 1212 18th St.: the unmarked door next to the mattress store!
