Tuesday Milonga
The term milonga in Argentine dialect refers to a community venue or gathering where the tango tradition is preserved through learning and practicing the dance form. Historically, neighborhood milongas featured live music and played a central role in the community life of Buenos Aires. We celebrate that tradition today with our own contemporary milonga.
The 18th St. Lounge Milonga
A restored town house mansion, the Lounge is an enticing environment for dancers, with original hardwood flooring, high ceilings, and comfy antique couches and chairs all around.
July 20 Only: "Soy Porteno" dance sneakers, made in Buenos Aires for tango dancers, will be available from Daniela. 5% of sales support Tango Mercurio's community programs.

ESL has been legendary in DC nightlife for years, so hip, in fact, that the entrance is secret and unmarked! The photo below will help you find your way up the purple carpet stairway. We are in the Gold Room, behind the curtain just off the main floor. Please note: Positive ID check at the door. No exceptions.
