Smith Point - 1338 Wisconsin Avenue NW
This iconic preppy bar in Georgetown has a reputation bigger than the venue itself. Difficult to find and intentionally small, Smith Point is incredibly exclusive, only allowing in the most elite and powerful Washingtonians on either their "regular" or VIP list. After giving a name at the door, guests are treated to a patio and all-night dancing, making Smith Point excellent for out-of-towners who love summer nights on the coast...if you have someone to let you in.
