Ziegfeld's

[1] Originally located at 1345 Half Street SE, the circular venue was divided by a wall with a shared bar in the middle and connecting doors.

Each weekend the "Ladies of Illusion" show was hosted by the venue's staple drag queen Ella Fitzgerald,[2] with two performances on Fridays and Saturdays, and one on Sundays.

[citation needed] In 2006 the property was seized by the District of Columbia via eminent domain and torn down, along with many other gay-oriented businesses, to make way for the new Nationals Park baseball stadium.

The transfer of its liquor license to the new location was approved,[4] and the club set a "grand opening" date of February 13, 2009.

The new venue maintained the theme of twin bars, now divided by two levels: drag performances on the first floor, with all-nude male dancers upstairs.
