Archibald's is a gentlemen's club on K Street in Washington's Golden Triangle, a couple of blocks from Farragut Square, and it makes no small claim about itself: the best gentlemen's club in DC.

It runs food and drink, its own events programme, a gallery and a roster of entertainers. The VIP packages are the centrepiece — house champagne, VIP seating with a private stage for a set period, complimentary admission for a small party, mixers, and a dedicated host and server.

It is closed Sunday and Monday. Tuesday through Thursday it opens at nine in the evening and runs to two in the morning; Friday and Saturday it runs an hour later, to three.
