There really isnt a replacement for Five, Red, and Nation.
Reasons being:

these places where homie, you could wear whateva and get your groove on.

70-80% of the people that went to those places went there for the music so you had a community and/or family, b/c you all had something in common. lots of friendship i have came from those places.

They were in the city near a metro and constant, you didnt have to ask where to go, just ask who was playing that night and 9 times out of 10 you would go no matter who it.

Right now there isnt a constant club/party every weekend and just like DC when there are good parties they are on the same night so business gets split up so it looks like there isnt any scene anymore or its dead.

Just wish someone would get a place like Five again...a place with two different rooms so you can have two different types of music playing. House and top 40 would even be cool....
oh well...i can dream
RIP Five

Really bad business move, who ever thought this was successful you really did not do your research as you would have found that Five was one of its kind in DC and fuck the fucking area, if you can post here another place that can take the place of Five then maybe you could shut some folks up but there is not one place that can produce that atmosphere. Fur-Ibiza are nice but that does not do it for one the sound is not the same and neither is the environment, they are totatlly different kinds of scenes. You guys/gals really didnt think about this one, you may get a few people but dont expect herds. As far as Lucky Bar it went one in hand with Five, where do you go to have a good time once the last call has gone out-FIVE!- and sweat it all out. This was a reall stupid decision. So you want to mix drunk sports guys with drunk clubers, yeah good idea, i hope your ready for shutdowns of not just your place but also other places, but maybe that is part of the plan. I dont wish any buisiness bad business but bad fucking choice. Yeah, party on, right...

2009-05-06T18:06:00.000-04:00

If half of you had been to Five since 2002 this wouldn't have happened. It can't just sit there empty waiting for your bachelor/ette parties, or when your cousin flies in from Denmark and you decide to roll just ONE MORE TIME. The scene has changed, and so have you. Five hasn't been good in a LONG, LONG time. Its like saying you wish Studio 54 was still open.

Also, why does anyone think its not going to be successful? Lucky Bar has been there for as long as I can remember, and is the only place that doesn't have to pay promoters, and is always packed.

Wow, such good times have came crashing down to bittersweet memories. How can anyone think this was a good idea. John B is soooo stupid.

The best times we have had doing gigs was at Five. Tim was one of th best, I even miss Hooman (don't figure ;)

Had no idea losing club five would generate this response! So, will 18th Street Lounge become the replacement for now? Or will everyone flock to Ibiza and FUR? Not the same to me since Five was more of a cozy scene than a mega club.

Thanks for sharing all your comments. We make the nightlife what it is and a lot of times it goes unheard. *could do without a lot of "F-bombs" and "douchebags" for self-expression ;)

Party on.

Wow, nice. Another sports sh*t hole. Hey, I have an idea . . . lets grab all our sh*t-bag, douche-hole, meat-head friends and try to pick up the 5 slutz that will be in attendance. Wait, I have an even better idea, lets turn it back into a successfull, quality Night Club and actually make this space worth something. The owners of this place need to be dragged outside and beat. A freakin sports bar, yeah. Thats just great.

This place will fail harder than the Bush administration. If they had NOT changed the management at Five, this would NOT have happened.

2009-05-05T09:03:00.000-04:00

Nothing will replace Five. Tim and Hooman put their heart and soul into that place and It showed. This place is just another run of the mill carbon copy crap ass sports bar that will inevitably fail within a few months ....beacuse there are about 100 bars just like it in DC!!!

I for one will make sure to NEVER spend a dime there.

2009-05-05T09:00:00.000-04:00

wow, that sucks. another sports bar in DC and in dupont no less? pretty weak. I miss Five. I wonder what was going to happen to it after the owners were forced to sell. Lot of good times and good music in there, that will be no more. fucking DC.

2009-05-05T01:38:00.000-04:00

Woo, looks like this one struck the groove nerve! Five will be missed and I sometimes still look for that club Red scene. So far, no one can reproduce it. So that's a rap sheet of Nations = Down, Red = Down, now Five = Down. Even I was thrown off by the sports bar in the middle of that circle. We'll have to see where this one goes.

Thanks for the candid comments. I see I will have to circle back to this in a few months with a review ;) Party on, party on.

2009-05-04T22:54:00.000-04:00

Low-rent ESPN zone. I see people from across the street at that one bar, the one with personality, wandering over here to check it out and then wandering right back. However, it'll do business; there's enough people in DC with no sense of history to sustain this place, a place that seems to have apparently no sense of substance.
