Eat the Forbidden Fruit in Eden

Looking for a fun Wednesday night party but SO over Lima? Try Eden; a small, outdoor lounge quaintly placed on the rooftop of Eye Bar next to Cafe Asia. Each Wednesday night, they throw a party filled with attractive people (by DC standards, however, just trying to keep it real for you all), great appetizers, and even a Bongo player alongside DJ Vicious (who always plays my favorite Greek house music songs, including Peggy Zina) and Saam. While you won't catch me here on the reg due to my early in time for work on Thursday mornings, I hope to live vicariously through DC night owls, as I have never been to a better party on a Wednesday evening in the city. Though a little bit warm, the club has rectified the problem, placing fans over looking the lounge that will keep you from sweating and making your hair frizz all over the place. And better still, the out door arena makes you feel like you're in a Barcelona beach lounge instead of really just an establishment next to Cafe Asia on Eye Street.
Don't be nervous about cold months; Eden is currently in the process of transforming Eye Bar into a creationism masterpiece, complete with green, Earthy decor and fauna embellishments throughout the club's interior. Even hotter, they've created an extremely VIP room known as the ''Forbidden Room'', in which high rollers can rent if they're looking for privacy (you know what that means...tehehe).
Still not sold? The bottle service is reasonable, the bartenders super hook up everyone, and the bouncer at the front door does his best to keep the so-called "riff raff" out (Note to self: they always try and do this at all DC clubs, but outdoubtedly fail after about six months of it being open). Plus, the head promoter, Nick Sanchez, isn't one of those douchey club promoter guys with too much cheap cologne sprayed on him; genuinely looking to throw a good party, make friends with this guy, and you're guaranteed a great time (and he might even teach you a new phrase in Farsi, which I beg him to do every time I see him). With a happy hour on the way and a Piazza-like outdoor space, be sure to check out Eden every Wednesday night, at the former location of Eye Bar.
