Great DJs and super fun atmosphere! if youre looking for a fun night out Heist is a DC staple. would definitely consider hosting a private event here in the future!

One thing ruined an otherwise great time with good music, drinks and company: the women bartenders were wearing stockings and bustiers (the only things missing from the Playboy bunny outfit were the ears) while the men bartenders wore elegant polos and big boy pants. Like, wheres the consistency? Either provide your female employees with attractive yet respectable work clothes, or get your male bartenders to walk around in boxer briefs and low-cut tank tops.

Heist Night Club is like being at a house party. Its a chill atmosphere and they play good music. Be sure to check out he other room....its more than just the front entrance. I like that there is no uppity DC dress code and you can go to just hang and have fun.

Wow! What a night! I once was lost, but then I found Heist! Place is amazing. Bartenders were slinging drinks faster than I could order them! Service with a smile is an understatement. I asked my server for a bottle and she ran so fast to get me it that she made Bo Jackson’s 40-yard dash time look slow. This establishment is the epitome of “excellence.” If I could, I’d give it ten stars!!

My friends and I were at a table celebrating a birthday, when a guy from the table next to us began hitting on my friend. She kindly, said Thanks, but Im not interested. The guy then proceeded to purposefully elbow her over and over again. She calmly told him to stop and he was like who the hell are you? and then continued to elbow her. My friend calmly walked over to the bouncer and asked if he could remove the guy.The bouncer came to the table and the guys friend who apparently said he was the owner (or friend of the owner, something along those lines) defended his friend. The bouncer then told her to pack her things and go. I go to the bouncer to explain what happened again because obviously there was a mistake. The bouncer proceeds to tell me mid sentence, to shut up and stop talking. He then escorts us out of the club. I wouldnt expect the bouncer to choose us over the owner, but the disrespect was completely unnecessary.So, beware of getting a table here because if the owner or his friends physically or verbally abuse you and you try to speak up about it, youll be escorted out! Would the same thing have happen if the guy claimed to have had a weapon? Do better.

Excellent bartenders. They are very professional and fast. Music is also very good here. Only bad part is that the place is small and can get packed really quick. But it has an awesome vibe. Especially on Fridays.

Below average in comparison to other DC venues. The atmosphere feels more like a bar than a nightclub, which can be good or bad depending on your expectations.

Bartenders was very rude and meand. A lot of young guys but staff never on the top of that....If you want a couple of shots maybe otherwise is plenty of better sports

It’s a racist bar please don’t go there. If you don’t want to be discriminated against. Find a better place. It’s small regardless and there are way better bars please don’t waste your time. The security guards are def whit washed.

Music is on point! Drinks are DC club prices. Small space but it makes up in ambience and liveliness. Upon entering, you go downstairs to the basement. Dress code is pretty strict here.

Pretty decent bar to go to if nothing else is available. The music is passable, and the theme is kind of weak (I didnt realize until my 3rd or 4th time here that it was a jail theme). The patrons can be creepy and/or rude. People dont really dance hard here except us, it seems.

Review №15

They give every girl/ woman free champagne (verrrry cheap nasty kind) when you come in which is nice but its not very tasty. They have a wait usually which is confusing because its often empty inside. The bouncers are very sweet and nice but will kick our unruly people quickly which is really good. Bartenders are rude though. Plays top 40 music usually. DJ on sundays is ok at best. The area is really small so not a lot of room to dance. They have a cheap coat check that I highly recommend because theres no where else to put your things. There are only chairs in the VIP sections so dont come here if you plan on sitting. Best thing about this place is the restrooms they are very nice and private and darkly lit and cool except its hard to do makeup in the mirror because its so dark but its still nice.

Heist is a gorgeous venue for special events, has an amazing sound system, and the art is SO unique. We cater some private events there and always are excited to get to stop by. Very upscale clientele and vibe.

I liked the bouncers at the doors. They were very nice compared to most bouncers I have experienced. I had a backpack with me and they held it in a closet for me during my time at the club. They were excellent! The drinks are very pricy, the main thing I didnt love about the place. Very nice crowd, everyone was dressed nicely. The club itself in a great area and its very clean and upscale.

Was nice, Drinks are very expensive tho ....and after the third drink the Chic basically gave me cranberry juice instead of vodka and cran and refuse to put more vodka in it and said she gave me a double when she clearly didnt, I use to bartend so Im not someone you can tell that to

Pro: music DJ spins. Con: size! Its surprisingly small, no room for dancing. They have too many VIP tables with coaches. I guess they try to keep *exclusive*. Likely wont be back.

Total Ineptitude. Bartender gave my card to someone else. I was the second person that night! Young white male bartender, had a hat on backwards. If you see him, dont open a tab with him or give him your card!
