Hoping you guys can help me!

I'm visiting a friend in May and shes letting me stay with her for free so I wanna take her out for dinner and clubbing afterwards. Was hoping you had suggestions. Shes gonna suggest places because she lives there but I want to surprise her!

Cheers

is she actually in DC or over in Georgetown???

I love visiting DC so give us an idea of budgets because I can recommend very pricey or cheap and cheeful...

Have a look on Yelp and you get DC users ratings as well...

Georgetown is in DC.

DC has some very good night clubs. The 9:30 Club is probably the best known. This web site has some good info on clubs etc:

There are loads of good restaurants. What sort of cuisine are you looking for?

Drinking options I could recommend include:

Off the Record (quality cocktails and ambience, White House/K Street crowd)
Church Key (14th St, good beer menu and atmosphere)
Bourbon (Glover Park, consistent, good bourbon card etc)
Martins Tavern (Georgetown, old school, eclectic mix of punters)

Although the 9.30 is a live music venue rather than a nightclub. I would book a table at the POV - for a couple of cocktails - its a cool bar at the top of the W hotel overlooking the White House, then dinner at The Ebbitt Grill - and for a cool nightclub you should try Josephines, or Eden.

I assume you mean the Old Ebbitt Grill near the White House? I've been there a few times. The food is excellent.

Yes - its a lovely restaurant - with quite a bit of history too.

Cheers guys loads of good suggestions. I will have a pretty good budget because i aint paying for a hotel im crashing on the couch! saves a ton! she lives capitol hill.

You guys are the best!
