The Crucible

The Crucible is a volunteer-run, members-only BDSM club in northeast Washington that also welcomes swingers and other alternative lifestyle groups. It opens for scheduled events, most often on Friday and Saturday nights, with play parties, rope shares, education nights and a monthly newcomer night called Dungeon 101 that is open to non-members 18 and over. Facilities include a dungeon, private and semi-private rooms, a dance floor, a lounge and a pool table. Outside alcohol is not allowed, and drinks are sold only at events marked 21 and over.
