Guest Luke Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Did anyone here ever hangout at Posers in Georgetown? I loved that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 80s Punk Rock in DC Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 For a long time, you had to be into a certain kind of music to go in there Luke. The crowd most nights at Posers at the West end of Georgetown on M Street, could be determined by the wild Punk Rockers hanging out at the corner doorstep. You better be ready to "Slam Dance" even if you had no intention to. I love the music they choose to play there, and I personal always had a great time there.

JT Allen Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 It was called Poseurs, and it was really cool. I remember they had great Sunday night drink specials but the place hasn't been around since 1989, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tho900 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 lol I used to live there on the weekends.. man sad to hear it closed... I was going there circa 1984-86ish... no slam dancing when I was there... really cool crowd... I was chilling with a drink one night and here's this guy all decked out in his leather with a mohawk... Monty Python's Flying Circus was on the TV there... we both sat there and laughed at a few scenes, anyway we started talking he tells me how much that movie reflected the socioeconomic upheaval in the UK at the time it came out... ends up he had his masters in international studies.. who knew.. I remember the first time I used the back exit and something felt familiar.. that's when I found out it was the stairs from "The Exorcist" where the priest got pushed down.. I liked the mannequin in the upstairs window... you knew you were there when you saw that from down the street..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Luke Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 The holograms pictures were really fun to look at. One was a microscope. After a few beers the bacteria would come alive. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kate Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I used to go there all the time, I wore a monkey fur coat. It was an awesome place to dance and party. I saw Ed begley jr. There one night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aou Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 I remembered hang out with my ex-wife at Poseurs in GTown in mid 80s. It was a fun spot for music & the people. At the end they sometimes threw one off party at Fifth Column on Monday night and called it 'Poseurs Night'. But nothing was like the original joint in Georgetown.

Guest Claude Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Wow, Poseurs! Nobody has commented on this chain in almost ten years. I was just thinking about Poseurs, how much fun I had there in the late 80's. Anyone else still on here that remembers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phewall Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 I loved this place circa 1985. Great 80’s alternative type music. Very danceable and a cool crowd. Many good nights there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Toni Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 My closest girlfriend and I would go there often to experience the cool Poseurs vibe; we really enjoyed the edginess of the club and did our best to dress like Demi in St.Elmo’s… I miss those days, but I’m so glad I have these memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Richard Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 I discovered Poseurs in early '85 and went most weekends until the drinking age was raised in Sept '86 and most of the women (Georgetown U and American U - my target domographic) couldn't get in anymore and the place kinda tanked. That year and a half was the best time in my life. Dancing until closing time in the dark basement and then staggering down the street to the Little Tavern for a Coke and some super greasy french fries before walking home. Great music, melon ball shooters, disgusting bathrooms, and goth girls galore. I was 21 and living the dream. I really miss that place and that time.

Oh...and I danced all night one evening with Martha Quinn from MTV who was in town doing MC work for a concert on the mall. Didn't recognize her in the dark for quite some time. She was a sweetheart, and a great dancer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
