Oo la la, Dirty Bar!

This place is SO on lock right now, I can only get a pick
from the outside... Yup, the entrance is just to the left of
Dirty Martini's patio. 

On my way to Current last night, I was turning onto Connecticut Ave. and noticed a new entrance next to Dirty Martini's usually low-key door space. A gentleman in fancy dress, alongside two girls in red and black corsets, asked if I wanted to stop by the locale. Assuming it was just another entrance for Dirty Martini, I blew it off for a second, but was told that it was the venue's new VIP lounge, known as Dirty Bar. Even more, it was a Sneak Peak event, prior to the venue's huge Grand Opening party on September 15th. Like how Vitro is unto Lima, Dirty Bar is a guest-list only, low capacity venue on the top of Dirty Martini, decked out in glam red on black decor, which made me feel like I was in a combination of Moulin Rouge and Eyes Wide Shut (minus a disgusting and naked Tom Cruise). But with a gorgeous out door deck area, strict dress code policy, and top-of-the-line bartenders mixing great cocktails together, the place looks like it should be in the Paris Hotel on the Vegas strip. Yes, Dirty Bar was definitely worth the investment for the Dirty Martini owners, and a place that you'll definitely find me partying in the future. Check out Dirty Bar at 1223 Connecticut Ave., as it's definitely worth the visit if you're down for something chic, loungey, and, of course, very VIP.
