"Pre-Halloween celebrations begin on Friday, October 25 with Freaky Friday at the Dupont Circle club. Everyone is encouraged to wear their favorite, Lohan-approved, early 2000s ensemble. On Saturday, October 26, Heist is throwing a Beetlejuice-themed spooky costume party. If you can keep partying, Thursday’s main event is Heist Horror Night. Beginning at 10 p.m., dance the night away in your favorite outfit inspired by classic horror films." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"I noted that Dupont’s subterranean nightclub Heist hosted a packed DJ set by Drake during his D.C. visit." - Tierney Plumb
"Housed in a vault-like subterranean room, this scene-y nightclub returned after a years-long hiatus with a multimillion-dollar redesign by Brian Swanson featuring glittering walls, a back-lit DJ booth of imported brass, lava stone at the entry, hand-stamped concrete floors, and a black granite staircase; open six nights a week, it reasserts its celebrity pedigree and was once named the No. 1 lounge in America." - Tierney Plumb
"At the celeb-friendly nightclub Heist, I learned the venue is hosting a pricey outdoor pop-up on the Kennedy Center’s rooftop terrace to launch Smoothsail on Saturday, Aug. 14 from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.; reservations are required, many slots are already sold out, and table options start at $400 (admission for six plus two bottles of Moët & Chandon Champagne) while VIP cabanas priced $1,000–$2,500 have been claimed. Jay Sean is listed as a co-owner and chief cultural officer of Smoothsail and will be the host of the party — he isn’t scheduled to perform but the owner wouldn’t rule out him singing — and all attendees will be able to sample the sparkling sake beverage that’s currently only available via online ordering. The owner noted that Heist’s parties have attracted celebrities like Dave Chappelle and other local notables, and that Jay Sean said the venue “looked like no other party he had seen in D.C.”" - Kalina Newman
