4) as a single male, I paid $105 cover charge. That included $95 door fee plus $10 surcharge to come with the couple. I am not complaining about the amount of money (I realize that lifestyle clubs depend on single men, to a degree, to "pay their bills"). My gripe is that I really got very little value for what I paid. Basically (from a single man point of view), it is little more than a club with a dance floor. As a single male, I could not attend the play area in the basement without my sponsor couple (and they did not want to go). So I was mostly stuck to the upstairs bar and dance floor, which were populated with couples who were mostly interested in themselves. I could get nearly the same experience in almost any club in Adams Morgan or Dupont Circle, for a $20 cover charge.
Visited Tabu in April 2017 as a couple. Very friendly check in and first time host tour. The total price was $68. (1 month membership). The dance floor was Black out night which makes it easy to let go and have fun fun.
I am a reasonably attractive, fit / athletic single man. I went as a "sponsored" single male on a Saturday in June 2017 (during a "blackout" party), with a couple who are my friends. Bottom line: NOT RECOMMENDED, especially for single men. Reasons in my experience (someone else may disagree):
Overall a very fun "closed door" lifestyle
Friendly staff. Safe place. Enforce the rules of No means No. Singles females can feel safe there. Clean. Good music & themes nights.
1) most of the people there were couples, and socialized only with themselves or with friends who they came with. Even between different / new couples, I noticed very little interaction. Therfore, not a very "social" atmosphere.
3) for a Saturday, I didn't think it was that crowded overall, compared to clubs I have been to in Florida, NYC, etc. The crowd was relatively sparse.
Now there is nothing that I can do if people don't want to meet new folks and at least say hi to them, and I am not complaining about that at all. And I certainly understand the restrictions against single men. Vicky and Rick, the owners, work hard to run a great club for couples that is clean and well staffed, and I give them credit for that. However from a "value" point of view, my recommendation for single men is: SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR SOMETHING ELSE. The system is basically designed to rip off single men. Personally, I meet way many women in 30 minutes at a regular club in DC or Baltimore than I did in 3 hours at Tabu. Bottom line is that for me, it was just not worth the steep cover charge ($105) and I will not be returning as a single man (I learned my lesson :) Maybe I'll return as a couple, when I'm with a woman.
This is not the place to be if your trying to have fun its more like staying home with friends FYI go to Florida for a great time
We really enjoy the group and circle bed room in Vicki's Lounge, although it may be better to decrease the play time so more ppl can get private rooms and no long wait time, also instead of knocking and YELLING time is up...a chime or sexy voice is more appropriate and less aggressive in the heat of the moment. (friendly suggestions)
It cost too much for a unicorn female, 40$ a visit. Way too many off the wall themes... like who tf gets turned on by adults in pajamas??? The couch arrangement is certainly not set up for meeting new people, at all and to think it cost 150$ to reserve one? Ekk. I had a hard time hearing anyone in the bar section. I just felt it costs waaayy too much for me to go back.
2) the dance floor was during it's peak only 1/3 full (in my opinion), with couples dancing with themselves. The music was so loud, I could not converse with anyone else including my friends. By 1:30 pm, the dance floor was nearly empty except for 2 or 3 couples off to the sides who were making out.
