Café Citron

We came kinda early so there weren't really a lot of people dancing quite yet. It was easy to flag down the bartender for drinks. We got a round of tequila shots.I like Latin clubs/bars so I enjoyed the music. But it was so loud that my ears were ringing. Definitely a fun vibe!The first floor is long and narrow. There's a small dance floor. The upstairs is smallish. Not a ton of space up there. It was a fun time!

I CALL IT OLD FAITHFUL !! After trying to dance and have some fun at 3 other spots in Dupont (trying to find a new vibe), we ended up where we always know we'll have fun. The DJ (and his wife!) were fantastic, and the free friday shots were flowing ! The bartenders were generous, and the crowd well behaved for the most part... always solid !

Wow, what a fun experience. While I've heard about the dancing at night, I decided to try it for their food. With great happy hour menus (there's a main one and one each day and different times 6-8, and 7-9), it offers a diverse selection of food.I shared a Planchitas Sampler with one other person and it was a perfect amount of food. While usually not a fan of chicharrón, I really enjoyed theirs, but was not a big fan of the chicken. I did enjoy the yuca and plantains!For the drinks, the Bichota is on the sweeter side but otherwise a fun drink and the one I'd recommendThe setting is a dark space. I would recommend coming for the dancing over the food, but it's not a bad restaurant to try

Decent spot. Didn't dine here, only came for drinks and dancing. We had a fun time. We were not charged cover. The shots were naturally expensive, but the interior atmosphere was enough to compensate for that. There were many levels, and each area featured a different vibe and different music. It seemed good enough that we would return again for a night out.

Super creepy place for a variety of reasons. Don't recommend coming here. - the people hanging out around the bouncer seem VERY creepy. the recognize you after a whole week. they point it out to you. it's a very scary experience. - the place seems a bit racist with who they let in and don't - this place lacks morals. they only do bag checks on minorities - my friends' wallet was stolen here and management did nothing to help her with this. no empathy, not offering to show security tapes, etc. - crowded and overpriced

Celebrated a birthday at Cafe Citron last night and it was great. We ate dinner there, I had the planchitas to share (honestly it could have been shared with 4 people), it was so good. After dinner, it turned into a party and we danced the night away. Young or older, you're in for a fun night at CC.

Zezeh is the best manager ever. Words can't explain how much I appreciate her hospitality. The music here is amazing!!! Most underrated place in DC.

Zezeh, the manager, was phenomenal. This was the best hospitality I've ever felt at a bar. The music was amazing, the drinks were beyond perfection, and the service was the best I've experienced. As a resident of DC, I could not be happier.

Great vibe, good food and service. Would def recommend to try. We enjoyed sitting at the bar! Great bar tenders

This venue has several issues that impact the overall experience. The owner is rarely present, and on the occasions she is, there's often an entry fee to access the venue. Additionally, the management team lacks professionalism, which contributes to an uncomfortable atmosphere throughout the space.
