Me and hubby Had a blast on a Wednesday! The DJ played All the hiphop and R&B hits and the vibe was chill. I hear it gets packed on the weekends. The hookah, food and drinks are reasonably priced and delicious. When I'm DC again...we will be back !!

Came here for the towers. I've been here multiple times for the club but never came when it was chill enough to just eat and vibe. We got two margarita towers and the crab egg roll and steak egg roll with some truffle fries. Everything was delicious. The towers were strong and a great price. There was a paint and sit also happening during the time we came. The music was vibing and people were just dancing and having a good time. Service was great they were quick and prompt with everything. I would definitely come back for the paint and sip and food.

Not gonna lie - my husband and I had a good ol' time here! We love a small bar with great energy where everyone's just having a good time. The bartender was super friendly and gave me a heavy pour on my wine glass :) The music was live and upbeat - everyone was either dancing in their seats or getting up to dance. We only left because it got a little too smoky for me (it's clearly a hookah lounge so that's moreso my problem, not anything the bar did wrong), but we definitely would've stayed longer because we were having so much fun on a random weeknight.

A hype vibe for those looking to get a little ratchet. Heavy pours from the bartender and a fun vibe all around. If it wasn't for the heavy cigarette smoke (we didn't care about the hookah or weed smoke) , we would've stayed a lot longer.

This place was okay. Came for Halloween silent disco. Arrived and there was only one DJ at time. Not much seated room, would've been better for us to reserve a table. Drinks were okay, I paid for shelf/wall liquor and deff got a cheap well liquor.

Steak and Cheese  Honey Old Bay Wings

The food is ON POINT! 4-9 happy hour specials allow for options. I was extremely hungry and needed something to prep for the cocktails. The wings were fried crispy with just enough sauce. The cheesesteak was 12 out of 10, flavorfully seasoned. Promise you won't be disappointed.

The actual hookah was mid at best for D.C I was expecting a lot better. Then when it came to the bill we were charged $4 for each bottle (of which we were not even told there was a charge at all for water, and no we did not specifically ask for a sealed bottle all we asked for was water the sever never said tap or bottled, she just automatically brought us sealed) when on the menu they were priced at $3.50 sure it's .50 but when there was five that .50 extra could have almost bought another bottle. Also when she brought the bill she did not even show the itemized bill at first all she showed was the tip screen which upon doing the math from what we ordered vs paid we realized the amount was way higher than what we got and so we asked for the copy of the receipt only to find out there was ALREADY a service charge on there of which was NOT a credit card charge because we paid in cash and when asked what the cash total was she told us $60.31 yet the copy showed the cash price was $57.91 also they charge for charcoal, what am i suppose to do bring my own charcoal? i've never had to pay extra for charcoal they just include it with hookah price, absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention the vibes in this place is like an absolute funeral, all the pictures made this place look so fun and great, but no it was worse than funeral. I felt even more so like i was at a funeral after I realized how badly my wallet was robbed. I will never come back here.

I was visiting some friends in DC and made reservations at the Penthouse with the purpose of eating…read moreoutside in their "igloos". It ended up being too hot for us to enjoy outside but the server was nice enough to move our large party indoors without a wait. I ordered the sangria and it was so fruity and refreshing. Where this place falls flat for me is the food. We went for brunch so I'm not sure what their lunch and dinner menu looked like but I had their chicken and waffles. Typically, I'm used to having this dish with just chicken on top of a waffle with a side of syrup that you can pour over. This dish was drenched with a sauce that wasn't syrup but still sort of sweet? It wasn't necessarily *bad*, it's just that I wasn't expecting it. I didn't end up finishing it and my friends weren't impressed with some of the other dishes. I will say though...that Harissa Shrimp? Give me 14 of them.

Another spot for pictures and aesthetics with bad service and mediocre food…read more On a busy night at the wharf, this was one of the few places I could drop in and sit at the bar. It took 10 minutes for the bartender to hand me a water and ask what I wanted (though he never gave me a menu). After ordering, no one checked on me until my plates were empty and drink was dry. I ordered the beet salad and truffle fries. The food was good but certainly not worth the price. I'm happy to pay good money but seeing the well done lamb chops beside me, I decided to go with a safe Girl Dinner. I won't be back, even if I need a cute spot for pictures with the girls. This spot isn't worth it, there are too many great places to eat in DC to settle

My first night in DC and this is exactly how you're supposed to start it…read more A friend brought me to Thurst for birthday weekend vibes, and from the moment I walked in, the energy felt intentional and warm. The purple neon lighting creates this sultry, intimate atmosphere without being overwhelming. It's the kind of place where you can actually connect, laugh, and still feel like you're outside living. The music was a vibe. Smooth R&B blended with some Jamaican flavor and nostalgic cuts that made the room feel alive. It wasn't chaotic; it was curated. The sound set the tone without overpowering the experience. What stood out most was how comfortable the space felt. Beautiful crowd, welcoming energy, and that perfect balance between lounge and nightlife. It's not just somewhere you go to be seen; it's somewhere you go to feel good. Perfect first stop for my DC weekend. I'd absolutely return.

It's probably the best place for women to party and just be. The drinks were amazing! Strong and sweet. The vibes were there all night long. Strong drinks and the prices are right! I highly recommend if you're just looking to have a good time, hear some great music and enjoy yourself. It's definitely a spot to try out.

Online the place looks great and interesting so we decided to hit it up around 9pm because it doesn't close until 2am. So when we walked in the place was pitch black and the vibe was really off. We had to pay $20 a person to enter which at first I was confused because I thought this place was games, bars, music, and vibes...not at all. So we were walking around and the crowd I'll just say wasn't the type I wanted to be around. Only one bar was open and the music was weird. So we decided to leave and when I asked the person who was taking the money what was going on tonight they said an event. Now, this event was not posted anywhere on their website or social media. So I would caution going at night or call beforehand because I don't think I would want to come back because it was nothing like it is portrayed online.
