Electronic Age Gives Birth to Electronic Cigarettes
Smoke Screen Lifts in DC as Cigarette Alternative Gains Popularity
Ever since DC’s 2006 indoor smoking ban for bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and other public places, some smokers have been Jones-ing for alternatives.
The birth of the E-Cigarette
With the ban of cigarettes in DC’s indoor public places, along came the bastard child of the cancer stick: the electronic cigarette. It’s designed to deliver the experience of smoking without the adverse health effects usually associated with tobacco smoke.
What?
An electrical device that simulates the act of tobacco smoking, bearing the physical sensation and appearance of inhaled tobacco smoke without its odor or health risks.
Hundreds of different flavor varieties are available. Some flavors resemble traditional cigarette types, such as regular tobacco and menthol, and some even claim to mimic specific cigarette brands, such as Marlboro or Camel. A wide variety of food flavors are also sold, from the traditional (vanilla, coffee, cola) to the more unusual (strawberry daiquiri, Boston cream pie).
How?
An estimated 2.5 million people are now inhaling nicotine through a battery-operated device that heats liquid to make vapor, taking the fire, tar, and many other cancer-causing chemicals found in cigarettes out of smoking.
Why?
At first glance, these fake puffers look a little ridiculous. Think “non-alcoholic beer.” Yet e-cigarettes have grown up since a disposable cigarette alternative with a weak battery began appearing in convenience stores a few years ago. The rechargeable, next-generation device is sold in tobacco stores and has been said to help some smokers quit nicotine, saving them thousands of dollars (and their lives).
Loopholes
Can’t give up the love of puffing? Some DC clubs and restaurants offer some ways to side-step the smoking ban… kind of.
Patio/Rooftop Bars
Places like Lima Lounge, Barcode, Ozio, Eden and Current DC allow smoking in their outdoor areas.
Hookah Bars
Hookahs have cropped up in several area spots like Barcode, Chi Cha Lounge, Gazuza, Queen’s Café & Hookah, and Soussi.
For a full list of DC Hookah bars check here!
Cigar Bars
Wanna look like a ganster? Try a cigar at Lima Lounge’s patio, Ozio, Shelly’s Back Room, Fur Nightclub, Havana’s Man Cave Cigar Club, or Old Glory.

Barcöde Celebrates One Year of DC Nightlife
A new approach to nightlife in Washington DC
Bar-Cöde celebrates its 1 Year Anniversary
The highly anticipated November 2010 opening of Barcode Restaurant, Bar and Lounge brought with it a slightly new concept to DC nightlife.
While many DC restaurants, lounges and bars focus on one specific niche, Barcöde has attempted to penetrate three.
Catering to 21+ young professionals, the DC lounge has an extensive selection of bottled and draft beers, wines and specialty cocktails.
The kitchen, open ’til midnight, features reasonably priced American classics with a twist. Customer favorites include the Avocado Dip; the wide selection of brick oven, thin crust pizzas; and the Tiramisu.
The popular happy hour features half-off drink specials and carries into the night with DJs and sporting events and fights. The DC bar features ten 42″ HDTVs and two 70″ HD projectors.
Barcöde’s Tuesday happy-hour was voted Best in DC by the Washington Post!
Barcode’s 1 Year Anniversary event happens on Saturday November 5th and features complimentary cocktails and hors d’oeuvres from 10PM-11PM.
The party kicks-off with DJ Saam and DJ Kam on the decks! A Champagne toast will be held at midnight.
To your left, Bar Manager and Beverage Mixologist Ari Wilder explains the ‘how-to’ for creating the Barcode specialty cocktail known as the Orchard Storm.
I’m very proud of what Barcode has become over the last year. I’ve witnessed the food, staff and clientele evolve. The place has a comfortable feel, and the customers respond to it. We now have many regulars that love the food and atmosphere. Sports have become a big attraction by popular demand. For 2012, we’re focusing on consistency and improved service.

DJ Saam’s May Mix
Towards the end of every month DJ Saam releases a mixtape consisting of the hottest tracks of the month. Of course, where would a DJ be without a unique sense of style, and perhaps humor? Hence this month’s mix starting off straight into Coasters’ – “Yakety Yak.” Released in 1958, no-one has probably heard it since 1973 but that’s okay! Saam accomplishes what many would consider impossible and transitions straight into a current hit released in 2010: “Mr. Saxobeat” by Alexandra Stan. From there it’s a house-heavy mix with a lounge feel and the intensity of mega-club fame.
Be sure to catch DJ Saam at Lima on Tuesday, Barcode on Friday, and Ultrabar on Saturday.
