I had a great time. Very expensive tho. But it was a great time. Staff was nice to me. I was treated like gold. Not sure why all of the negative reviews. I didnt have any issues. Love me some Ember Snow, 🤤. Definitely will come back if Im ever in the DC area.

Last week my business partner and I went to Archibalds for the first time ever, we do business and federal contracts in Washington DC about 5 times a year.On this night I met the most amazing person/entertainer, her name is Chloe, she was and is so professional and was such great conversationalist, and extremely up to date on the worlds current events, she definitely made us feel at home, she literally taught us a thing or twoBc of Chloe, Archibalds has two new customers for lifeTy Chole❤️

Private dances are not worth it!! One of the worst adult clubs in DC! Dont ever go there, you will just regret!!

The best bartenders and dancers in DC. The ATM wasnt working so had to run across the street to get cash.The TVs over the bar show some great content but I feel they might pull the attention away from the real dancers.

We were visiting Washington DC for a few days and decided to go out! Our friend that lives in DC took us to this club and it was the best decision we made! It was a great, fun environment, the girls are beautiful and very friendly! We loved it so much, we went there 3 nights in a row and closed out all the nights. The owner Dan is a wonderful guy and you can tell he really cares about his business and his girls. Ali was great as well and so was Dungo. This experience was definitely one of the top for Mr, my husband, and my friend! I would highly recommend. Thank you guys for such an awesome and great time!

The girls are beautiful and cool but don’t go for a private dance here. It’s just a overpriced lap dance. Manager’s energy is a bit off. Stage setups are awkward too. Perhaps my least favorite strip club experience ever.

I visited this club with friends on a Tuesday night, 09:30pm, and there were already some other guests. Admission was $ 10 without a drink. A beer cost $ 11.The club is a bit smaller and not as highly modern as others, but still fine. The room is elongated with a smaller stage centered on the wall. As a result, there are seats with better and less good visibility. Sitting right at the stage or across gives you a very good view of the performances of the dancers and you can also tip them very comfortably. Due to lack of space, there are no poles on the stage, but a suspended ring in which the ladies can present themselves artistically. I found that a really nice and a special alternative.The dancers completely undressed in their performances and did not shy away from showing their bodies. Compared to the club from the previous evening, the women were a little younger and I also liked them more - but thats a matter of taste and probably depends on the evening.Unfortunately, the ladies were a bit pushy looking for more tips or a drink or while selling a private dance. Overall, we had a nice evening in this club.Private dances started at $ 150 for a duration of 3 songs. Way more expensive than in other compareable cities/countries. In the other club they at least had a nice $ 40 offer for a personal (not private) dance.

I used to work on I street so I ate lunch here many times. They have a decent kitchen with a burger and fries as good or better than comparable places in the neighborhood. If you enjoy watching pretty girls dance they got that covered to!

Review №14

Mehh.. drinks were a bit overpriced... $11 for a bottle of Corona; to be expected regarding the location in the City. The girls were, without a doubt, beautiful! Would say about 80% of entertainers were above average. Kinda small for the venue.Repeatable: Maybe?? Have to go during weekend to give full answer. I went on a Wednesday.Verdict: Would say the business establishment is respectable. Worth a try!I only went to visit an old friend!

Had an awesome time last night at Archibalds . The staff was amazing, the entertainers were hot, and the drinks were flowing. After 10, things got really crowded in the club and we were told there was an Executive Lounge with more space so we took advantage of it and WOW, I had no idea how nice the bar was upstairs! I highly recommend you check this place out . I will be back !

Went here with a group of 4, two who I brought from a concert that we all attended that night. Reya Sunshine was doing a after party here that Saturday after the Exxxotica Expo was in town. The door person was welcoming, might have been the manager. The asian waitress who serve my table lost my ID and debit card, along with the other guy in my group, THATS (4) LOST CARDS or stolen? We found out at the end, when everyone was leaving, who she didnt come back to let us know at the table.It couldve been the crazy Caucasian dancer who was making a scene there when I was there. The next day, I told Reya about what happened, I wont be back here cause it was very shady of them to do that, I did spent a good amount of money there too. I had to do a police report about the lost cards.

Very racist establishment! I went there yesterday and was mind blown after feeling like I was unwanted there.. I am an African american business owner, I spent over $1,000 drinks and tips combined. I will not be returning, but I will say I appreciated the staff that served and entertained me while they were allowed too.. until the owner and manager repremanded the staff serving me. I cant believe it is 2019 and as an upstanding American citizen I still deal with injustice, shame on these men.

It’s highly mediocre. The main floor is very plain with not much going on. Staff aren’t too friendly but that’s to be expected. Expect to pay a high cover and for overpriced drinks. Maybe if you’re next door, check it out, but definitely not worth making a trip to this place.

Review №19

Decent drinks but terrible service. Sat at a table and was served twice: once when I sat and once when I hunted down our server for our check.Tried to order at the bar but ran off. Apparently you’re supposed to just sit at your table for hours sipping your empty drink.

Review №20

Really rude managers. They told me I was too dark/ not pretty enough to work here. Nuff said...their def some sketchy things happenening under the table at this place. Some of the dancers are absolutely coked out if their frekin minds..they do it in the bathroom. It smells like a frat house honestly in the back. Its gross and sticky on the floor. Bathroom is kinda gross. Dont even waste your time/money here.

I never expected to have such a great time here! We went in because it was close to our hotel and we wanted an after dinner drink.The girls were so beautiful, strong, and talented! I highly recommend this club!

Review №22

Place was very small, but the low rating isnt for that. Its because the dancers came up asking for money after every dance, even when we had our backs to them the whole time. Bartender was very friendly though.

10$ after 9, drinks way over priced, small place. The private dance isnt really private unless you get a hours worth. At the private dance they dont dance on you they dance on a mini stage. Cant touch them

Review №24

The drinks werent the cheapest, but the service was great. The bouncer was very direct about the rules up front--so make sure you do not pull out your cellphone once you pass by him. The ATM has a $5 charge/withdrawal, so take all your money out up front and get it changed to $1s as you go. Theres an upstairs location after 7:00, and the downstairs is open all day. The girls rotate between the two stages downstairs, changing outfits from time to time. While all the girls are attractive, they have different styles--the cute girl next door, the glittery Russian, the super-sexy waitress, etc. They come around after their sets looking for any extra tips and, often enough, opportunities to sit and talk (for more tips obviously, but I gotta say its worth it). Garter belts for the bills and no touching, sure--but that doesnt mean theyre shy. So pick your favorite and get to know her a little bit--itll be worth it.

Definitely come to this club if you wanna see a variety of beautiful girls and also have a fun time! It’s always so fun here when I come!

Review №26

Over priced...Under entertained...Im only putting 1 star because you have to put something. I love going to strip clubs, watching the beautiful woman and listening to the music. Well at Archibald all I can say is its boring as hell, it was crowded so there was no watching dancers and the girls dont walk around for tips. I left here less turned on than before I came here. So disappointed.

Review №27

(Im a male using a friends email in order to post) I stopped by Archibalds recently only to find out that I was on a banned list. I figured it had to be a mistake so I waited for the tall, bald guy with the beard to arrive because I knew that in the four (4) times Id been there hed been the only person at the door each visit. Ive since figured out why he placed my name on that list ... he tried to say that somebody must have banned me. My last visit was 11/5/18 and on that day I stopped by but soon left after seeing the lack dancing talent. Strange thing is that I didnt mind being turned-away on yesterday either because what they had on-stage was ... well, lets not be rude. In addition, parking is horrible. So, to be clear one gets placed on a banned list not for NOT leaving, but for doing just that ... the tall guy at the door had his feelings hurt because my facial expression likely showed my dissatisfaction.Very Petty ... Ill try to make sure to avoid Archibalds from now on.

Instantaneous 1 star from me for the shady practices to extort your money. ATM charges a 20% fee on withdrawals. If you so much lay an eye on any of the dancers, they unabashedly come to collect money and they do even if you sit at the bar and dont even look at them (the bar faces away from the dancers).

Review №29

All I can say if you are into fat or thick women and are cheap this is not ur club. The women are in very good shape and beautiful. I have gone to some clubs around the area that the women may have a huge butt but will also carry a gut. That nasty to my eyes so I spend my money at this place. No gut and no stretch marks at this place :)

Hostile bouncer, overpriced drinks ($48 for 3 watered down jack and cokes), and strippers who look for the drunkest guy to take advantage of. i got a private show from 2 girls expecting a $150ish charge, woke up to $1400 gone from my bank account. NEVER AGAIN.

This place is a scam. They hustle money with no regard for the customer. The girls are ok looking but they charge 20% at the atm and 300 bucks for a lap dance. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.

The girls were freindly but Mark the Champine guy was abusive. He choked me out when i tried to check on my friends that were being charged $500 a bottle for Champaign. Who does this? Thisis not a reputable place tp take anyone!

This is a pretty lousy strip club. I felt the girls were very pushy trying to make you get a champagne room. Since they were very vague about what that included and they werent selling private dances I did not try it.
