Every city has its strong points and one of Washington’s is that there is never a shortage of things to do. While there is a plethora of activities during the day, the nightlife is where the city really gets to shine. If you find yourself looking for what to do in Washington on a Saturday night, you’re in luck!

There is something to cater to every budget, taste, crowd size, and so on. Consider some of the following activities for your next Saturday night in Washington:

Gambling

Many people enjoy gambling, and if you find yourself in Washington, there are tons of options for this. First, you can choose to place bets online and even use cryptocurrency for this purpose. Digital assets have become a popular way to place bets, and Washington law means you can take advantage of this. Gambling with crypto means your winnings can multiply in value and you enjoy more privacy.

As Sergio Zammit has explained, a look at Crypto News’ list of crypto casino sites will have you well on your way to betting with different assets. If you prefer to place bets in person, you can visit one of Washington’s iconic casinos like the Tulip Casino and Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort.

Galleries

Washington is famous for its art galleries and lovers of the arts might want to indulge themselves if bored on a Saturday night. Not every gallery is open past 5 pm but some like the DC Alley Museum and the Gangplank Art Collective have their doors open 24/7.

You might want to pop in for specific exhibitions held at night with appearances from the artists themselves, Q&As, drinks receptions, and so on. Even when no specific event is being held, these galleries hold pieces from celebrated artists and in most cases, you can’t get through the entire collection in a single go.

Visit Monuments

When many of us think of Washington, our minds tend to go to the many monuments and attractions it has. What might not be as well-known is that many of these monuments are open until late or even 24 hours. The International Spy Museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and the National Portrait Gallery are open till 7 PM and could be a fun nighttime activity.

There are dedicated tours that operate at night that will take you to several attractions while offering commentary on their history and significance. Even if you’ve been to any of these places before, a nighttime experience can certainly be worth it.

Dining

You can’t go wrong with dinner and Washington is bursting at the seams with places to eat, no matter your preference. For those looking for more upscale dining, restaurants like Anju and Del Mar are renowned for their cuisine. For more casual options, you have the likes of Washington Arms, The Salt Line, and  Le Diplomate.

Buffet lovers can get their fix from establishments like Harvest and Feast Buffet.

Overall, the Washington food scene is thriving and no matter how much (or how little) faff you want to accompany your meal, you and your people will find somewhere to serve you.

Clubbing

Saturday nights and clubbing are pretty much a match made in heaven and Washington is primed to cater to the nightlife crowd. You have the likes of Cafe Citron which goes from food establishment to nightclub as the sun goes down, Decades that offers music from every era you can imagine, Rosebar which offers a multi-floor multi-sensory experience, and much more.

Washington has every type of club you can imagine and there’s no better way to enjoy a Saturday than exploring its downtown which will be packed with fellow fun-seekers.

Movies

There are several ways to get your movie fix in Washington. The state is home to branches of major cinema chains like AMC. But there are also several companies that organize outdoor movie showings. Union Market, Alethia Tanner Park, and The REACH are just a few places that see outdoor screenings of classic and modern films, along with food trucks, outdoor bars, and much more.

If you’re a movie lover, make sure to take advantage of these options.
