The decade-old 17th Street gay nightspot is forced to halt its entertainment and now faces an uncertain future
Despite rumors to the contrary, Club Chaos, a 10-year-old GLBT restaurant and bar located at 1603 17th St. NW, has not shuttered its doors. It remains open for business — for the moment — and is even advertising a ”Valentine’s Day Dinner for 2” special on its Web site, www.chaosdc.com. But in recent weeks the excitement of patrons shouting ”Bingo!” and larger-than-life female illusionists like Xavier Onassis Bloomingdale presiding over evenings of salsa dancing and drag productions has given way to a spacious interior rendered eerily quiet and, some might even say, joyless.
