Vibes like the lowest hold in the Titanic
Extremely Disappointing Experience I visited this establishment with a group of friends and was thoroughly disappointed. The staff were unwelcoming and unprofessional, and the overall atmosphere was uninviting. Unfortunately, the experience felt more like a scam than a genuine outing. There are far better venues in Washington, DC that offer quality service and a more respectful environment. I would not recommend this place to others.

I don’t wanna drop ur rating but u need a bouncer to straighten out some toxic ppl, I was racially abused by this tall guy that always stands in front of the stage by himself holding a drink always by himself. I caught him twice racially harassing other ppl. But I couldn’t locate a bouncer to report him to. I can identify him but don’t want to use any color codes since racism has nothing to do with color of origin . I’d rather show the management who it is next time. Let me know who to ask for and I’ll relay my complaints directly .
Extremely Disappointed – Poor Management and Hostile Environment
Came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had a terrible experience within the first two minutes of arriving. An older woman aggressively approached us, claiming that the area near the stage was “reserved” (despite there being no clear signage). She began yelling, physically touching my friends, and demanding we move. Things escalated quickly with others getting involved, and threats were made—someone even said they’d send my friend to the hospital.
What’s worse is that management did absolutely nothing to address the situation. The only response we received was, “You can go back in once they leave,” which is unacceptable given how serious the confrontation was. There was no sense of control or accountability from the staff.
I will never return, and I would never recommend this place to anyone. No one should feel unsafe or disrespected when trying to enjoy a night out.

Been here a few times on the weekends to dance. The first floor usually has a live band playing salsa, bachata, etc type of music. The upstairs has a DJ playing reggeton/hip hop. The salsa floor does get pretty crowded but still fun to dance, and people are usually open to partnering up if you come alone. $10 cover to come in.

Great food, great vibes.
The live music was good the evening we were here.
Vegetarian options: Both the palm heart salad and the eggplant were amazing.
Kid-friendliness: They welcome children early in the evening. Our older teens loved it. Our youngest is a bit pickier, and the fried chicken and flan were the only items she enjoyed.
