Mirage is a nightclub on the edge of Capitol Hill, catering to a mixed crowd for dancing and late-night drinking. It is one of the more straightforward clubs in a city where the nightlife can feel driven by political networking rather than actual fun. Cover charges vary by night and act; check current programming before going.
The venue has hosted a range of music nights including hip-hop, Latin, and EDM events. For a full night out, the surrounding Capitol Hill neighbourhood has a cluster of bars on Pennsylvania Avenue SE that start earlier and are less clubby.
