For 2023 – 2024, 360 Nightlife rented the full HQO venue from top to bottom. Our caterer of choice was tasked to update some dishes, and did a great job on the hot Quesedilla station and the Taco Fix-in bar with vegan sofritas for our veggie friends, in addition to the steak and mashed potatoes, curated cheeses, dried meats and fruit. Of course, after midnight, we had our sweet bar, with cupcakes, and fresh cookies. The entertainment was top notch as usual for 360 Nightlife events, DJ Vicious, which is the #1 most in demand DJ in DC nightclubs, spun on the main floor while Miami’s DJ Q, spun a mix of hip hop, reggae, reggaeton, and classics that kept the floor jumping. We toasted champagne to 2024, and the partied raged on.
The many sides of HQO had people exploring, from the vast first floor lobby, to the rotunda that serves as our nightclub, to the doors to the Patio, with a tent and music if you just needed a breather. Then, you walk up the majestic stairs, to another floor of beautiful uplighting, decor, and balloons. To the left, there is the VIP Boardroom, with 360 view of the Anacostia River and lit up bridge. From the first floor or 2nd floor elevators, you could access the HQO rooftop patio – the largest in the city. At midnight, you could visibly see multiple firework displays and take some amazing pictures. Drinks were flowing, food was flowing, the music was hype, and the crowd was spectacular.
The reason 360 Nightlife has been a force to be reckon with for 15 years is because we NEVER stop learning. No event is perfect, and we pick up things left and right to make sure that the next event (especially 2025 woo baby) is going to be better than ever. We optimize where others fall back. We dig in, while others just think its a success. Every piece of feedback is heard and brought up.
The good news is you will not have to wait until NYE to experience 360 Nightlife as we are gearing up for a few events as well as top coverage of what’s happening in DC, MD, VA, and much outside, including other US Cities & Medellin, Colombia – a location that we have really dwelled into, and will give you the 411!
