anyone tried Bay Street or Stone Fish Lounge? I had to chuckle at the Chateau mention the beginning of the thread...

Cannot verify either of these, but they were suggested in another over fifty thread.


Barrel and Bushel or Earl's Bar + Kitchen.

Any new places to consider?

The bar was jam packed with "oldies," some younger people, LOTS of 40ish single women and dirty old men trying to look down the shirts of said women. It was a friendly and lively crowd, I would definitely go again.
The music was difficult to hear though and no space for dancing. More of an upscale bar scene. Very attentive bartenders.

That is a Rockville address, as per Le Google.

I thought Clydes in Tysons Corner attracted a large 50+ crowd on Friday nights.

Saw bunch of oldies at Clydes of Potomac, MD

You mean Rockville?

Hey, I'm old. I get confused.

This is a great suggestion, for stodgy Republican types. The tough thing is being a left-wing, artsy former punk rock oldster, looking for someplace not stodgy, but not all 21 year olds.

If you're an ex-punk oldster, you should still be going to 9:30 Club for what I call their oldies shows: X, Jonathan Richman, Buzzcocks, Paul Weller and lots of others hit there at least once every year or so. Gary Numan at the Black Cat. Relive your happy childhood, I say.

Or just hit the 9:30 club anytime there are "older" bands there. And I find some of the classic country shows (Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam) skew older. Plus, some of the dance nights (80's, 90's) at The Black Cat are while not full of over 50 years olds - pretty age stratified so you would feel comfortable dancing and hanging out.

This is an excellent suggestion. Also, I will posit that if older folks show up, other older folks will not feel so alienated.

Well, yes. I want to see my cohort enjoying themselves.
