FUR Nightclub   

DC's not a big city, as far as population matters. But it's home to plenty of universities, and it's surrounded by sprawling suburbs from which club-hungry young people trickle in for nightlife. All said, the city's ready for FUR nightclub, a new multi-level entertainment mecca just off North Capital Street, NE. The ground floor is for dancing, with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems providing a pulsing party atmosphere under a cathedral-high canopy. Exhausted club-goers can chill in lounges -- replete with HI-def TV's, comfy couches and a laidback vibe -- or on the smoke-free balcony. Those who haven't embraced the smoke-free lifestyle can stick it to the health experts by sampling from an extensive cigar menu. Additionally, FUR offers a menu with, you know, food. Private rooms are available for reservation to those who want to get VIP treatment. But if you're going to act the part, look the part. In other words, spruce yourself up a tad. No shorts, flip-flops, sportswear, boots, hats, or spaghetti-stained tanks. Everybody wants to be one of the lucky 2500 clubbers that FUR can accommodate, so prepare to line up. And as the weather turns chilly, bundle up and use the on-site coat-check once you're inside.
