Late happy hour runs 7–10pm with $7 drinks and no cover — clothes check available if you want to shed the uniform.

Featuring: SYNCLAIR

A sexy, sleazy happy hour for big boys and their admirers — no cover, drink specials from 6-10pm, and fries from Lucky Pollo (served by a sexy fry boy, naturally). Phil Reese is on the decks keeping the energy moving. Exactly the kind of low-key, high-fun Friday night that District Eagle does best.

DC's official queer nightlife takeover during Project GLOW keeps the energy going long after the festival gates close. Three nights across BUNKER and District Eagle, four headliners (ABEL, KARSTEN SOLLORS, SAM BLACKY, MATT SUAVE, and more), and sets that run until sunrise. VIP passes guarantee entry to all four events plus a dedicated line at every door—no waiting, just dancing. Limited passes available; once they're gone, it's single-event tickets subject to capacity.

The weekend doesn't end at District Eagle — it transforms. Sam Blacky takes the second floor into Afro-house and Latin house territory, bringing the same dancefloor magic that's made her a fixture from Ibiza to Bali. Laser Fox commands the vocal-driven tech house upstairs, while BUCK/OFF and Twyle anchor the first floor in darker, hypnotic techno. One venue, multiple rooms, completely different vibes — pick your energy and dance until sunrise.
