Rosebar Lounge

I had a good time at this club. It's a good spot to go dancing, drink, and hang out with friends. I also liked the way the place was decorated.

Came in on a Monday. The security made it seem like it was popping. So we went in. It was dead. Maybe 6 people there and then a few people rotated in and out. There's two different sections of the place which is upstairs and you have to climb about 30 steps. The first part has seats, a small dance stage, and a bar. It is separated by a small hallway that has bathrooms. In the second room, there is a roped off section with 10ish tables with hookah. There is a bar, another small dance floor and the DJ. The security were lowkey rude. Didn't care for them. The front door lady was chill. The bartenders were mostly just on their phone and had to wave them down to get a drink. The drinks were strong but small. It's cute inside. There's a glass ceiling with hanging (fake?) plants which adds to the ambiance. The strobing lights is a bit much but makes the dance floor more fun. Been here a couple of times before but sorta over it and I think this might be the last time I come thru.

No. Just no. I came with some friends to a Sunday "open bar" and open bar is incredibly misleading. First of all, the open bar was only open for an hour, but they didn't let us in until 20 minutes into the hour and didn't extend the time the "open bar" was only well liquor and it had to be mixed drinks and you could only get a drink every 15 minutes. The bartenders were barely doing their jobs. One of them was literally looking at herself in her phone the whole time. Their attitudes weren't great either. All of this was a shame because the space is actually really nice. Inside area and an enclosed outdoor area (complete glass ceiling so you feel like you're outside while being inside). The decor was great as well. Anyway, sadly I wouldn't come back.

2.5 stars, the bottle girls are all very pleasant and beautiful, the music was amazing, HOWEVER the rules and prices are outrageous. There is a cover at the door if you don't sign up for the event which ranges from 30 to 35 depending on how you pay, You have to pay for water which was 10 dollars. The most basic drink is about 20. Unless you're coming with a promoter or have a section (idk the price range for that) be prepared to spend a bit much. Staff were all great! I just don't agree with the way management is running things.

- good party on a Sunday afternoon im told it gets good around 8/9 pm- there was barely anyone in there between 5p-7p on an 80 degree Sunday. - $20 for women, $30 for guys- $80 hookah the madness needs to stop- with so few patrons, the bartenders were hella attentive

I went here with a few friends!! It was a cool vibe on a Friday evening. The drinks are not too expensive and the bathrooms are clean!!

On Sunday, May 26th, Rosebar hosted an Afro-Caribbean event starting at 4pm. There was a long line waiting to get in, we were in there at 4:45pm. The security and hostesses were absolutely rude and weren't allowing us in the time that was posted on the flyer. It was scorching outside, why would you have people waiting outside past the time of entry? One of hostess were so rude saying, "what do you all expect is summer, yall can stand there! " Unprofessional staff and security does not make me feel welcomed or safe. I would not recommend this place to anyone. NEVER AGAIN! When we finally got inside there was no Afro-Caribbean music....my friends left immediately.

Ambience is decent & nice. Music & energy was a vibe. Staff was NOT on same page. Favored to certain groups of individuals. Owner was rude. My party had questions due to staff telling everyone something different. Owner did NOT present himself kindly. I honestly would NOT willingly go back unless begged by for a friend bday or special event. Personally any owner of an establishment I believe should be more respectful any circumstance & take pride on staff being all on one accord.

I usually do not write reviews, but my experience last night made me come out and do it. I will say this place is actually a place that I frequent a lot and enjoy coming too but last night I experienced the worst customer service I've ever had in my life ever and I'm hoping management will see this review and make the necessary changes or they will be losing a loyal regular. I don't know the name of the bartender so I went to the business instagram page to find a picture of her and I will add it to my review for reference. if you don't like your job find a new one instead of making everyone around you miserable.. I've been coming to rose bar for years and all the other bartenders are always amazing, sweet and actually can make a good maragarita but the bartender I had last night made me a terrible drink and had the most terrible stank attitude I just don't understand how she even makes any money as she spoke to me and every customer after me with an attitude. Rude, bad attitude, snapping gum and just over all unpleasant. The drinks are already expensive at least smile and be pleasant . Aside from this rose bar is always a good time and your always guaranteed to see a pretty girl here that's why I love coming here but please hire someone that smiles and knows how to treat a customer

PLENTY OF REASONS FOR YOU TO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE:I wanted to celebrate my birthday by visiting a club. Walking by this place around 10pm, I figured this was a place to visit due to the line and music heard from outside. While standing in line to get in, I saw a group of women trying to pay by card to get in. The rude young woman who worked there said to them "yall just said y'all wanted to pay with cash, now you switching it to card?" She rolled her eyes and walked away. A few seconds later the male security guard, with an attitude, said they are not able to enter the establishment any longer. While I was inside the establishment, the floor was dirty and sticky, the servers and bartenders take their sweet time with bringing your card and drink back to the table. They would rather spend time taking videos for Instagram and twerking than being proactive. Also, money is not a problem for me but a $65 shot of Don Julio is insane.During the night, they presented a sign that said "2 bottles, 20 N**gas." IT DOES NOT GET MORE UNPROFESSIONAL THAN THAT. That is textbook unprofessionalism. Can people enjoy their time out without being accosted and shamed because they wanna spend what THEY want to spend?Also, I just went and saw a picture on their Instagram and it appears this place is blatant colorist towards women as well. They only hire bottle girls that are racially ambiguous women who are "white-passing" or lightskin. Why aren't any women of darker complexion hired or being promoted on your flyers and establishment?This is NOT the best place in DC to go clubbing. Not even in the top 10. NOT the best on Connecticut Ave. NOT a place to be if you are trying to enjoy a night out, unless you like being overcharged and rude staff. The owner(s), staff, and promotors need to take a class on how to run a business properly because this AINT IT! Do better. Below are the pictures I got and you can take this and make your own opinions.
