Secret Lounge and Sports Bar

Horrible management. How do you start charging people after they've already walked through! Literally grabbing people walking up the stairs to charge them $20 per head. Bad business. Wasn't even worth $20. Fortunately, we already had people waiting, but if he didn't, I would have left.Plenty of other lounges on U st not charging a ridiculous price. I will never go back here and don't recommend others go here.

This place has pretty hookah but their service is quite less than lackluster. One of the servers/waitresses told us that in order to sit down we would need to buy a bottle. We waited for about 10 minutes and saw people sitting in the seats we were going to sit in. After watching them for a bit, no one had bought a bottle. I'm not sure what their actual rules are, but everyone in the area broke them as no one had bottles.If you don't mind the hoops and hurdles of they're seating policy, then by all means come. Their music is cool.

HORRIBLE SPOT!!! Service was bad and super slow not wasn't even that crowded. Waitresses were rude and frazzled!!!!!!! I had to wait an hour for a hookah to come out. Then workers at the bar just sat by dining NOTHING when the bartenders and waiters clearly needed help. I preferred at 9:26pm. It is not 10:26 Pm...... still no hookah. No apologize. Sorry for the invoice cue. Not even a cheap ass free shot for the wait. DO BETTER!!!!

Strong drinks. Fun and random daytime drinking spot but felt like it was a club. Music and DJ was poppin'!

Worst hookah lounge in DC!!! My friends and I were here last night, as we come here from time to time. The service isn't great, but I've over looked it because their drinks are decent. The hostess spilled an entire container of ketchup on the back of my friends shirt. The shirt was completely ruined. She gave a halfhearted apology and scurried off and wasn't seen again. We called another hostess over and asked to speak to the manager. I saw her go over to the manager he looked in our direction and never came over. After waiting about 6-7 mins, my friend had to walk over to him, because he clearly had not intention to see what was going on. He told him what happened and his response was "so what do you want? You want a shot?" This place clearly has no understanding of what customer service is. I will no longer be giving them any of my money and neither should you.

These people are refilling the liquor bottles. I ordered two shots of El Jimador as I don't mind cheap tequila and the bartender rings me up for 2 shots of Jose Cuervo totalling $30 plus change. I politely pay as apparently she won't pour until I pay. When she reaches for the liquor I asked for I request she pour the liquor she rang up for the second shot. She responds they are the same price but pours Jose gold as the second shot. She never distinguished the difference probably because they seem to be exactly the same liquor. I'm convinced they are refilling bottles with Montezuma. Will return NEVER.

I just found this spot and it's definitely a gem. The decor is reaching for luxury but it's a sports bar vibe too. Stir bartenders are a little slow but the drinks make the wait worth it. This place also offers hookah so if that's your thing definitely check this place out. There's an upstairs too so even though the spot is small, it feels like there's just enough space for you and your friends to have a good time.

I came to this "lounge" on a Saturday night. My friends and I got a section upstairs. There's a $10 cover go both men and women and then and thennnnn you pay for your section. We got there around 12:15an And then, and then do you knw they had the nerve to have the air either off or on super duper low. Either way it was a "secret" as too if the air was on that Saturday night. I mean my body was glistening and it wasn from my body butter. It was from the sweat that had accumulated on my back.

Service sucks. Bar tenders don't check on you. They charge a 18% service fee. Music sucks!!! People Ethiopian owned bar. Won't be back!!!

I came in for some hookah and whiskey and I honestly do not understand why I stayed as long as I did. We ordered drinks and hookah before our friends arrived, but the moment we got it, they turned on the ac. It was 60° outside and the air caused our coals to burn fast because we were directly under the vent. The acoustics are HORRIBLE. I enjoy doing hood rat ish with my hood rat friends, but if I have to listen to music with no bottom, turn it down! The speaker is clearly busted. Also, isn't it a health code violation to wear your hair up when making drinks? The bartender slide past the other bartender with a cup of ice that apparently was for my boyfriend's drink. She got a handful of hair in it and began pouring Bulleit on top of it. Anyway. There are tons of place you can go in that area. I'm sure you'll be fine without it.
