WashingtonPost.com - Going Out Guide: Chi-Cha Lounge

Chi-Cha Lounge 
Known for its haphazard arrangement of couches, selection of hookahs and strong South American cocktails, Chi-Cha is one of the city's oldest lounges and still one of the most popular. Its side room, separated from the main bar by curtains, can hold up to 100 people. Attention penny-pinching brides: the fees aren't set in stone. "We work with budgets," says Jessica Gibson, who books parties at Chi-Cha and its sister lounges, which include Gazuza , Gua-Rapo   and Mate . Holding a private party can cost between $25 and $75 per person, depending on the night and whether you want to include food and drinks. If the price looks too steep for the night you've chosen, Gibson might be able to steer you to a venue that's the right fit. (Gazuza's patio in the summer, anyone?)
