D.C.’s hottest new LGBTQ nightclub is — Bunker
D.C.’s hottest new nightclub is — Bunker. Opening within the next month, Bunker takes over the space vacated by Tropicalia at the busy corner of 14th and U streets, N.W.
And filling a need for a dedicated dance club, Bunker is set to take D.C. LGBTQ nightlife to the next level. Owned by the producers of KINETIC Presents, Zach Renovatés and Jesus Quispe, Bunker will be open Thursday-Sunday, each night featuring a distinct theme.
Bunker takes up the mantle of celebrated nightlife spots that have closed in recent years: Cobalt, Town Danceboutique, Secrets, and DC Eagle. “As a longtime DC resident, it was devastating,” says Renovatés. “ There was no guaranteed space to have that night out for dancing, just for our community.” Running KINETIC Presents, Renovatés has been producing events for the LGBTQ community for nearly a decade.
He works with business partner Quispe to host rotating parties at various venues, like Echostage and Bliss. KINETIC, however, has become not just a company that throws parties, but a safe space.
