About Shadows Private Club
Shadows Private Club is a members-only lifestyle club at 2504 50th Avenue in Hyattsville, Maryland, inside the Beltway from Washington, DC. It opened in February 2017 and calls itself the only dedicated lifestyle club in the DC metro area.
The club is open five nights a week, until 3 AM midweek and Sunday and until 5 AM on Friday and Saturday. By its own account that is later than most clubs in the region. Every night carries a theme with a live DJ.
Pricing is fully published: a membership pass, then a per-night ticket by guest type. It is BYOB with free mixers, and the club serves complimentary finger foods every Friday and Saturday.
