Service: The girls are pretty and usually attentive. The owner is really nice. He takes pride in his spot and treats all customers the same. Ambiance: Not a fan of the wallpaper downstairs but it's a nice size for it to be a restaurant then a club. They also have an upstairs but DJs are on both floors. Music is always good, Mason has the best DJs playing afrobeats, gogo, American and even Hispanic music. This is great spot if you want to just come to eat and hangout or have a night out that's not in dc.

We stood at the door and the…read morehostess came from behind us in the door and then told to sit anywhere we'd like and i'd understand if they were just opening but at this point when we visited they had already been open for hours so not quite sure why she walked in behind us. 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.

JCK has been on my list for a while to try; glad I finally stopped through for happy hour on a…read moreFriday. Their HH runs Mon-Fri from 5-7 and include 5-7 cocktails, beer, and wine that they offer at $2ish off the regular price. We stuck with the cocktails and had their Blue Lagoons (which are essentially electric blue vodka lemonades) for $8ish. They were tasty and after 2 of them, we were definitely ready to party. Next time, I want to try the rum punch for $10 - though I noticed the rum punch was premade (vs being made fresh per order). Unfortunately, there are no food offers on the happy hour. The spot was very empty when we arrived, maybe around 5.30p - there was one other couple enjoying time at the bar. Outside of the 8-10 bar seats, they have some lounge level seating, as well as more standard 4-top tables. At the very front of the area, is a small stage where DJ's and karaoke specialists set up. The food was really good; I had the curry chicken plate for $16ish and my girlfriend had the shrimp rasta pasta for $19ish. The food was very flavorful and came out piping hot from the kitchen. I'd get the curry again, for sure. The environment and vibe was the most enjoyable part of my visit; the hip hop and top40's music gave the place a great energy (but wasn't so loud that you couldn't chat. The bartenders were energetic, lively, and friendly. There seemed to be alot of regular patrons who knew each other and the bartenders - that's a really good sign. The star of the show was karaoke which started around 8 (when the bar was getting much more crowded). The karaoke host was great; she kept the group energized and led some karaoke style games and activities that I hadn't seen before. We ended up stay out way longer than expected because we were having such a nice time. I look forward to my next happy hour at JCK. Pro tip: It looks like they have coordinated, promoted parties twice a month on Fridays. And on the other Fridays, they have the 'standard' karaoke nights. Check their IG for the official, promoted parties.

I am no stranger to them, having seen their truck at Savor Bowie almost every single time I've gone. And I've driven by their brick-and-mortar multiple times, but never stopped. This one crossed my radar when my friend invited me to a soca party, and I was like "JCK Bar & Lounge? In Hyattsville? How have I never heard of that?" And now it all makes sense -- some time last year, Jamaican Country Kitchen expanded, and now they've got this place, DJ booth, dance floor, bar, lounge, restaurant, all in one. And I gotta say, it was a vibe. The staff was nice and I loved the decor and feel of the place. Bar was cozy and it was nice to be somewhere this late at night that still served authentic Caribbean food. They have happy hour, so I am going to have to return and get a deep dive on how they feel on a regular weekday after work. And I gotta see how their food compares to my other favorites nowadays!

And just like that, 1123 Huncho House closes its doors. We made it on the very last day…read morereservations secured and all. A proper send off. I'll be honest, I wasn't the biggest fan throughout their run but supporting local businesses matters to me and a closing deserved a final visit. I'm glad I went. In true 1123 fashion the menu looked nothing like what I remembered completely different. But the off menu specials stepped up and delivered. I went with the lamb rack, suya potatoes and eggs which was pretty decent across the board. No complaints, solid final plate. Now the churro waffles, first time trying them and somehow they saved the best for last. The texture was perfect, the flavor delivered and I'm already mourning them. Those alone made the final visit worth it. Service was surprisingly fast and smooth for a last day operation, which honestly says a lot about how they chose to go out. Head held high. It wasn't always my favorite spot but they were local owned and they deserved their flowers on the way out. Rest well 1123.

I was fortunate to snag a reservation last week to dine at 1123 by Chef Tobias Dorzon before they…read moreshuttered their doors on August 30, 2026. My solo reservation was at 10 p.m., which was perfect timing for me. Similar to their former sister restaurant, Huncho House, I was offered a complimentary glass of champagne prior to being seated. The decor and ambiance at 1123 were noticeably more upscale, and I really enjoyed the overall experience. I honestly wish I hadn't waited until their final days to try it. I really wanted the Chuck Rice & Oxtails, but they had just run out. So, I opted for the Lobster Jollof instead, and it was delicious! But the Star of the night was the Charbroiled Oysters. These were, hands down, the best oysters I've ever had in my life! They were deliciously washed down with the Lavender Lotus cocktail. The night ended with the Plantain Bread Pudding. It was very dense, and I didn't really taste much of the plantain flavor. I took two bites, decided it needed some help; maybe soak it in some Baileys Irish Cream at home. Unfortunately, after taking photos, I left my To-Go bag at the restaurant. Overall, I'm glad I finally made it to 1123 before the end of its run in the DMV. It's always a little bittersweet when a restaurant closes.

It wasn't necessarily my scene, but it may be yours, so I'll drop the bullet points so you can decide for yourself. -Small establishment with street parking (The outside is honestly a bit sketchy-looking.) -The crowd was mostly locals that really just wanted to have a good time. Many were dancing--which I always want when I go out. And the club started to fill up around midnight. It actually packed out!--Yes on a Tuesday! -The DJ played mostly hip hop & rap. -I didn't personally try the food, but friends thought the tacos (beef or chicken) were good except that the tortillas were falling apart. -There was a full bar & nice bartenders, but the drinks were strong--but NOT tasty. -Bottle girls?

Food: The first time I came to prime 3 yrs ago & I ordered suya and I was quite impressed. I…read morebelieve it was ~10 for a big white square container filled up & I felt that was a decent amount for the price. Flash forward to this week when my friend ordered me door dash from there & I could not believe my eyes. We bought ($23- bobolo & ndole, $13- suya, $7 plantains, pictures below) For how expensive the food was you would expect it to be in a large quantity; but that wasn't even the annoying part. My issue was I felt like it lacked the authentic Kmer taste. Almost as tho the chef rushed through the meal. Keep in mind, I grew up with my grand mom in Cameroon & we're bayangi so I know how good food taste. The meat was cut in huge pieces & not boiled all the way. The ndole was practically a watered down peanuts soup. The bobolo wasn't done nor was the plantains. The suya did taste good & well done 10/10 but they cut the portion size in half & increased the price; so the meal wasn't worth the money we spent in my opinion. I understand inflation & I normally don't mind paying for stuff but it has to at least taste GOOD! Keep in mind, this was my experience maybe yours might be different. I know I def won't be referring any of my friends there for their food! Night life: I've been to prime countless times for night life & tbh it's a hit or miss. Def come with a good group of friends so y'all can vibe together. Beware the crowd, is mostly older folks & if you're a girl then big stomach men will def hit on you. Go somewhere else if you're looking for a younger crowd. I like Cameroonian & Afrobeats music & I go out to have fun regardless of who is in the room; but I have friends who say it's gives Kumba vibes lol so they rarely come there for night life. They also have hookah available. my friends seemed to like it but I can't speak on it cuz I'm not smoker. Overall: there's always enough parking, quiet & safe neighborhood. If you go during the day, they do a good job of keeping the place neat & decent customer service. Night time, the music is very loud so you'll have to speak louder to talk to a server. Note: Police normally lurk the area & the speed limit is like 25 so be careful, then again you gotta be careful in this entire America so. I've posted many pics & vids below. Hope it helps.

We started with the Oysters Rockefeller, which were rich and flavorful, followed by the Grand Marnier Society Wings--a standout appetizer with a great balance of sweet and savory flavors. The Mac & Cheese was creamy and made for the perfect side. For our entrées, we ordered the Calypso Pan Seared Branzino and the Coconut Curry Snapper. Both dishes were served with vegetables of the day, rice and peas, and sweet plantains, creating a well-rounded and satisfying meal. The seafood was cooked well, and the Caribbean-inspired flavors added a unique twist to each dish. For drinks, we enjoyed The Pearl, the Lavender French 75, The Golden Hour, and an Old Fashioned. Each cocktail was well-crafted and paired nicely with the menu. We finished with the Warm Cookie Skillet, topped with vanilla bean ice cream and a caramel drizzle. It arrived warm, gooey, and was the perfect dessert to share. Beyond the food, the renovated space feels modern and inviting, making it a great option for date nights, celebrations, or a night out with friends. If you're looking for an elevated seafood experience with Caribbean-inspired flavors, Society Seafood is worth checking out.
