My man and I were ordering food from next door on a random Tuesday night and decided to stop in and check it out. We are always trying out new places and traveling. Of course, it was hardly anybody in there so the waiters/bartenders were all standing together in one spot, the dj was checking sound, and playing good music. It was just your basic one level, sections around the perimeter on one side, and a bar in the middle lounge. We ordered 2 drinks, nothing fancy, 6 oz drinks. My man handed over his card and she comes back with a $42 tab. Nothing for him to sign or anything. We looked at the tab and it was a "delivery fee" on there. I'm guessing it was like gratuity. Whatever it was it was $6.42!! Long story short we sat there 15 minutes and paid $42. Honestly, we could've walked in, looked around, and walked out. We had wings and Taylor Port in the car. It's other places with food, hookah, and good vibes that isn't that expensive.

My friend had a reservation to bring her friends for her bday. I called literally all day even when they weren't open to see if I could catch someone because we all know clubs/bars don't answer the phone as much when they are open, and of course they never answered this google voice number or their Facebook. If they would of answered they could of told us that they double booked so we wouldn't of wasted our time coming there just to be kicked out. Unprofessional and need to learn customer service. Would never catch me anywhere close to this "business"

This place just oozes "Chill Mode" Great space for social distances. Its def a secret in the neighborhood. They even feature Vendor Pop Ups for New Business Owners! Vendors: Cat's Delicious Crab Pies & Perfume Chick. It was amazing turn out!

Visited this establishment yesterday for the first time and I was very pleased. The owner was actually in and he was not only friendly, but was serious about sanitizing everything to keep his customers safe. The customer service, low key vibes and great drinks make for a perfect girls outing or date night. Check this place out if you're near the area!

Came in Saturday with a friend for a couple drinks and some hookah, and the experience was *meh* at best.The bartender was super sweet, good personality and cool. But, she made horrible drinks. Our whiskey sours were 95% sour mix and ridiculously tart. No alcohol to speak of. The hookah pulled light and burned off pretty quickly after smoking. The bartender also upsold a tip with some candy on it for $4 extra... didn't make any sense to me. Our check came to like $70 for a hookah and 2 drinks... that's insane, especially at 6pm on a Saturday evening, not even peak party hours.. If you want a smooth smoke and reasonable prices in DC, go to Champion Kitchen. Way better hookah and it's like $30 max to smoke. It's the only place that isn't gouging prices due to COVID.
