Sax
SAX is a restaurant, lounge, and late night locale featuring art and live entertainment designed to amuse and please guests with opulent grandeur. A 20-foot-long enclosed infinity stage, visible from every corner, showcases cabaret performers each evening, from illusionists and mimes to dance to aerialist shows. The two-story cabaret reflects a modern French design, plush with gilded columns, hand-button tufted damask banquettes, and inlaid medallion tabletops. Authentic reclaimed church doors mark the entryway from the crystal-adorned vestibule into SAX, and red-corded curtains lead to the opera house, which is adorned with wall sconces and chandeliers surrounding the perimeter balconies.

Abigail
Abigail recently completed a $1.5 million renovation to take advantage of all 5,000 square feet. It re-opened for an official unveiling in late October. Since then, Sunday night industry parties have already attracted Redskins and Wizards players happy to drop serious cash on bottle service. The glitzy overhaul, done by a local designer who is now with luxury conglomerate LVMH, included adding a new bar and DJ booth, updating bathrooms with shimmering graphic wallpaper, and splashing electronic artwork across the club — including a trippy, immersive light wall near the entrance. Neon letters spelling, “Abby if you’re dirty,” frame the DJ booth. This is a hot spot in Washington DC.
