Watch you check. I was charged 3 different prices for the same drink. Ask if the tip is included. The first time I paid 18 not knowing the tip was included. Second drink was 15.18 and the tip was included. The last drink (same drink was 17.10). This lady claimed happy hour discounted the price. I saw nothing on the menu that said this. I don't like it.

Red lounge is a cool little spot. We visited for a little less than an hour late Saturday afternoon/evening-ish, while they were participating in a bar crawl. The bouncer here was very nice, which prompted our visit. The establishment has two stories. All of our time was spent on the second floor. The spacing here is very limited and narrow (for the most part). The music had a good mixture of old school hip hop from the early 2000s, at least when we were there. Due to the bar crawl, there were drink specials for about $11, which my friend enjoyed.

Our visit to Red Light Bar & Detroit Pizza turned out to be quite an enjoyable evening, despite a few hitches. The highlight was undoubtedly their pan pizza, which was delicious though a tad oily for our liking. The place was bustling with energy, a testament to its popularity, which meant we ended up sitting outside. Nonetheless, the lively atmosphere and great food made for a fun night out. If you're in the mood for some authentic Detroit pizza and don't mind the crowd, this spot is definitely worth a visit.

It was nice. We were here on a bar crawl. The bartender took orders as quickly as she could. She was doing good because it got pretty busy. We didn't get food from this location, but we definitely saw chicken tenders and fries. It looked good and we were very tempted to get food, but we had a couple other stops to get to so we ended up not getting it. However it was convincing so I would recommend trying it. The ambience was nice. I think they have a downstairs and an upstairs we stayed downstairs because we were rushed for time, but it was nice. They had seating in the back. The front was kind of open if it's not too packed, you can definitely dance. They had a special DJ, but he was definitely playing the vibes. We were enjoying our entire evening!. I believe that we came to this location last year and we were in the upstairs portion and I remember it being nice. I'll definitely have to go back and try to find some photos and if I do, I'll update the review for y'all. The drinks were good... Not epic, but it was a drink that you would expect on a bar crawl.

This is one of those places you go to out of familiarity. There's nothing terribly wrong with it, but it's also not going to be the highlight of your night either. It's on U Street so it's close to a slew of other bars and I usually start here and migrate somewhere else. Most of the time I visit this place, it is for a specific event. The food is okay, like really traditional bar options, and the service matches it. Unless you're friends with the staff, your service will be just ok. The drinks are strong and not usually a long line at the bar. This is a low key spot, but the music is usually super loud so talking is minimal as it turns into yelling.

Nice roomy bar with multiple levels. They have different promotions different days of the week. The bartenders were nice and the venue is quite large. Check it out.

This is a new venue for the U St Corridor since it was news to me when my large group entered. The atmosphere is chill, dim lighting, and has a nice aesthetic in the rear.I was with a large group so the staff was accommodating to our party size since it was a last minute event venue change. I ordered the fried calamari and a glass of wine. I was confused at first because the calamari looked like onion rings. Lol However it was definitely squid. It tasted a bit weird and unfortunately my tummy was upset the next day. Aside from that the prices on the menu were very reasonable for a bar. The staff was super generous to my large party and the venue has a chill vibe. I'd come again to try HH but will just avoid the seafood to be safe.

This place has the potential to be lively and fun. However, it's unfortunate that promoters work diligently to advertise minority owned businesses, only for us to be overcharged and mistreated. I ordered a vodka on the rocks. Instead, I was served a shot of vodka in a minature glass with one ice cube for $15 dollars. I later ordered my friend a drink. Unsurprisingly, It was also under poured and over priced. One thing is for certain, this venue is consistent. And not in a positive way. If you're going to charge $15 for drinks, you gotta do a lot better than that. If you can't, you don't need to be in business. Not to mention, we paid $10 dollars to get into the ratchet venue. What a ripoff.

After falling deeply in love with Black Panther the movie, the boyfriend and I just had to come to the pop-up bar during opening weekend at Red Lounge Bar & Grill. DC has had some stellar pop-up bars in the past couple of years and unfortunately, this was just not on the same level. Kind of a high school version of the likes of the Game of Thrones and the Cherry Blossom pop-up bars. With that being said, there were a few dope pieces on the walls by some local artists that I appreciated and though EXPENSIVE, the two drinks we tried were fun and STRONG AS HELL which pretty much equals a good time no matter where I am. (The bartender we ordered from could have been nicer/smiled at least once at us though, that would've been preferred.) They did play some good old school hip hop which is always nice, though I waited for the Black Panther soundtrack to be played and it never came. We didn't stay long because there wasn't too much to see really and upstairs was way too crowded for us. Was this the best representation of the magic that is Black Panther? Not so much, but we made it a good time anyway.

This club is super ghetto and the drinks are over priced and watered down honestly you should literally go around the corner and the fat dj is an ass whole and ugly and plays bad music and old mf horrible customer service is shitty the bartenders are decent but the drinks are watered down (which I'm guessing is not their fault). Just shitty
