Club Elite
3 reviews for Club Elite
Can I just say I've never been to a club that was in a shopping center before? That made me LOL for real.
Club Elite is a 'hood establishment, no question about it. It's got a cast of characters from one of these stereotypical novels they're pushing as the next generation of Black literature-- the ghetto girls with towering weaves and skintight jeans, the dudes who make you wonder if they skipped out on probation for a night on the town. The gang's all there. We went to Elite to celebrate my best friend's birthday after a disastrous hour at some loungey bar in Adams Morgan. I gotta tell ya, I was more than willing to take my chances at Elite after that.
Club Elite ain't swanky but I ended up having a really good time. This club is not for the uptight or the pretentious-- I repeat, this club is not for the uptight or the pretentious. It's real down home, like a red light basement party but with a bar and employees. The music was good (even the thuggiest thugs spilled out onto the floor when go-go came on) and everyone was peaceful, none of the 30 fights a night that can break out at some other clubs (ack! H20), at least not while I was there. I'd definitely go to Elite again.
An 18% gratuity was automatically added to my already overpriced 2 drink bill. The waitress said it was the bartender's fee. WTF? How is he charging a fee for pouring a drink that small? Oh yeah, and I'm not exactly sure why the waitress didn't bring me back my change, but she missed out on the really good tip I was going to give her. This is a definite NOT EVEN ON A DARE!
Ok I would like to say we went out to the comedy show that they do on there bottom level. The show itself was great and the whole set up was nice!!! Please by your tickets at the door to avoid being robbed by ticketmaster service fees. The service at the restaurant as far as the waitress goes was pleasant the problem our drinks took 30 plus minutes to get to us no lie no exaggeration when I asked where are drinks were she told us they didn't have all the ingredients. Then our food which was an appetizer took 45 minutes!!! This is beyond ridiculous especially for a place that says you have to buy 2 items a piece and that gratuity is already added I see why cause I personally wouldn't have tipped ANYTHING. The show and setup was nice the slowness of our food and drinks were ridiculous!!! I would go for the show again just eat before I come and order two soft drinks that just doesn't sound like fun
