Desert 5 Spot · Northeast Washington • Free

Saddle up for mechanical bull rides, cold beers, and rooftop hangs at this DC honky-tonk. Live country music and a kitschy southwestern vibe make it a rowdy good time.

Black Cat · Northwest Washington

You don't go to Black Cat for comfort. You go because something in you needs to get roughed up: ears rattled, ribs shaken, soul dragged across a beer-sticky floor and told to wake the hell up.

Frequently asked questions

What can I do in DC beyond visiting museums?

Look at author conversations at Politics and Prose Bookstore, or the productions at Shakespeare Theatre Company: Harman Hall. A writer discussing their work or a play you’re still arguing about afterwards can give you plenty to build an evening around.

What should I check before heading to an event in DC?

Check the event’s exact location, admission details, and whether you need to reserve. A familiar organisation may host programmes at several venues, and free admission can still require registration. Use the event details when planning your journey.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
