If by classy you mean bougie and stuck up, then I'd suggest Club Love and anything close to U street and Howard University.

Love is not Bourgeoisie, any club that lets 18 year olds in is far from the term.

Jin and Marvin are good spots. You can also try Indulj on U street. If you want classy you could always go to Chuck and Billy's on Georgia Ave. (Pardon my Sarcasm) lol

Classy is a nice way to describe a sucker who's willing to shell out cash to provide expensive drinks for a stranger. A can of soda or some filtered water is all I'm paying for.

How would you define "classy, professional D.C. black ladies and gentlemen"?

How would they differ from "classy, professional D.C. white ladies and gentlemen"?

You never hear about these upper-class African-American societies in the mainstream media (except the Huxtables and Eve's Bayou).

Marvin on Monday night is probably your best bet. It should be poppin' in a few weeks when the weather warms up. You'll also find a lot of young professional blacks at Smith Commons on H Street. That bar is black-owned, I believe.

Ben's Next Door is cool if you like old head Kappas who drive big Benzes while talking on their bluetoothes. It's also cool if you're into dudes who still wear athletic gear in their early 30s. Same goes for Lucky Strike.

Jazz @ the Sculpture Garden always draws a nice crowd. So does Africa Underground.

Coco Sala is a more integrated club, but integrated clubs are generally where you'll find the classiest black people.
What's exactly wrong about wearing athletic gear in your early 30s? I don't like dressing up all the time. I like to rock some jeans and clean white sneaks.

I guess technically one is grown at 18 but I find this ad comical.

I know spots pop up everywhere (there used to be one in the Hilton in Tysons) so just network with YBPs.
I think we need to define what is "professional". Now don't get me wrong the scenes in the clip Bajan posted look like folks having a good time.

I guess they don't look like some thugs on a corner but professionalism doesn't come to mind when I see the clip.
