Whiskey Dix has three different lounges, a VIP room and a huge patio. The sound quality in Whiskey Dix is great; the club plays a lot of country music, as well as rock and pop. The Whiskey Chix dance on the main stage a few times each night, which is definitely entertaining.
The Whiskey Lounge is the coolest part of Whiskey Dix--it's got lots of different whiskeys to try out, along with a popcorn machine! The Fireside Lounge intimate--a good spot to reserve for a party; the Gibson Lounge, even smaller, is great for conversation. The VIP room, called the Skyy Box, is a fun setting for a bachelor/bachelorette party.

Liquid Lounge, a newly renovated, chic martini lounge, is a great place to book for a private party or to visit on a happening Friday night. The food is pretty good, but the martinis are not to miss. Try the "easy rider" or, if you have a sweet tooth, the chocolate chip martini. Every Monday, Liquid Lounge features Monday martini madness, when all the martinis are $5.25, as opposed to the usual $6.75 (2010 pricing). Liquid Lounge is easygoing, and late night the party picks up a bit with a live DJ.

Alive in the District, a semiexclusive nightclub open on Fridays and Saturdays, never fails to be a blast. Get there on time, or call the club to hear about the ultra VIP pass so you won't have to wait around to party! Alive offers a few appetizers like nachos, pizza and chicken fingers and lots of cocktails. There is a pretty strict dress code here; don't wear a baseball cap, and you must cover excessive tattoos. The DJs at Alive spin dance tunes, old and new.
