So crowded especially on Friday/Saturday and lots of teenagers because its the only place in Dc which lets people under 21 have fun.I would recommend u to go anywhere else if you have the opportunity.

Best place to go out with your girlfriends and dance the night away! Great drink specials and everyone is super kind! just get there early and take advantage of the free open bar and free entry!

Go to the Mezzanine bar overlooking the main floor for a great view and less crowd. Access from the main floor, go all the way back, stairs on the right

This place is for younger people! If you’re in your late 20’s and not with a group of friends don’t recommend this place.

Very cool bar/club if you want to dance however recommended for late twenties to early-thirties. Bring friends if you want to enjoy the music, but avoid the creepers. :)

EXPECT: indignant glares, exasperated sighs for the tiniest of requests, LOTS of attitude. ANTICIPATE: your phone/other valuables being stolen among a crowd of UNCOOPERATIVE & USELESS staff. TERRIBLE Read more

Make sure to check out "The Bedroom" on the 3rd floor, the Latin dancing and atmosphere makes it one of the best rooms in the club.

Dress is upper end style, no hats (learned the hard way), and a bit expensive. Great fun and good music though.

Fist of all, they didn't accept the 4Sq special. My night there was horrible. Horrible crowd, bad music selection from the DJ's and an expensive cover. Also, the drinks were rather expensive.

DJ on the 3rd floor is great, but water is $4. Be aware!

Don't bother unless your 21 and over and can get in free. If your under 21, there are better dance bars. Ultra is fun but crowded, and the floors are narrow. Poor design choice really.

Good music on Saturdays. Played house towards the end. Went late and paid a ridiculous cover just to hang out with 18 year olds. Beware.

Mention you're with DJ Ramzy at the door to skip the line and pay no cover (21+ only, before midnight)

Good place to party. Good luck on parking though...

WORST CLUB IN DC!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! 40+ year old men that are extremely creepy and try to molest younger girls and horrible music..had to leave early with my girls because we felt so uncomfortable.
Zac ChurchJune 5, 2011

Stuart WrightApril 7, 2012
Check in rebates don't always work staff unfriendly and just want all the money in your pockets! Not sure if I will ever come back!

Horrible service and if you ask for water they’ll charge you $7 for a water bottle with a default gratuity

The female bartender obsessed with her lipgloss is an honest jackass.

Don't do it! Don't ever come to this bar...unless you want to endure a mid-grade mosh pit.

The main floor gets way to crowded where you can't move barely.. And table service not worth the money
Alexandra HartmannNovember 6, 2011
Overpriced all around. No cell phone service. Super sketch.
