Whenever I meet people who dance, they talk about how fun Timehri is - that they love the fact that most people are dancing here, which is surprisingly rare in the club scene. This is a club for the dancers and the DJs know that their job is to make the people dance (not as much before midnight when more people are lounging and talking). There are regulars who come here to dance. Also, unlike many of the restaurant/bars turned clubs in Adams Morgan, this venue was designed with speakers and sound travel and quality in mind. Places like Moonlight, Shanklin Hall, Jerk Pit/Oasis Upstairs do not have anywhere near this sound quality regardless of the caliber of speakers that are brought in for the event. As nice as SH could be, the music quality was horrendous and I found myself running back to Timehri. Similar to Moonlight's upstairs, architecture gets in the way when it's a space that is designed for another purpose and you're trying to force it to be a club. Turning up the volume just makes it worse and more obvious that there are sound quality problems. That is to say, part of the enjoyment of dancing is being able to focus on the music and not trying to figure out what song they're attempting to play. Timehri is below ground so it's like being in a dance cave. The reverberations of the bass alone - this is something you feel and get accustomed to the way the earth and the walls bring the music back out onto the dance floor. It is also dark. I enjoy darkness but it also heightens other senses and allows you to be more present and feel the music. This helps create an atmosphere where folks dance like no one is watching. I literally do my yoga and physical therapy stretches and exercises here (I'm grateful because I need to do them and wouldn't feel comfortable doing them in other places), then my dance class warm-ups and try out variations of routines from recent dance classes of all sorts - it's not weird and all I've gotten is encouragement. As a seasoned woman of size, I do not feel out of place here. I like that there is a blend of ages, sizes, races, nationalities, etc. It's an unpretentious environment and many times I meet people here, they express how much they enjoy it, in spite of the potential inconvenience of parking and such. It is a bit of a smaller space, but if you come on week night, it is more relaxed and not as crowded (Fridays tend to be less hectic too) though I'd check their social media to verify if they will be open on a specific weekday. I have yet to see them close on a Fri or Sat unless it's Christmas or something but they charge a cover on weekends after 11 pm. And if you do get there before 11, understand that Caribbean people aren't really going to be there until 1 am. There are some negatives but I will allow people to experience that for themselves. On Safety, there was a point after the DC nightlife reopening after over a year of being shut down where I experienced many unfortunate, violent encounters in Adams Morgan, but upon further investigation and talking to other women (some who moved to other countries or parts of the country after traumatic incidents going out in DC in 2021ish), it seems like that has mostly passed for the time being. That being said, be vigilant and bring a friend if you can - there are predators who frequent all the venues and while I notice them infrequently, they are still some out. Moving on, there are enough venues in the area now that for people who enjoy Caribbean music to do a bar crawl and visit multiple venues on the same block or 2 - and don't forget to include Timehri as it is open later than most. read more

- fun times with different themes - great soca on a Thursday - fast and friendly bartending - reggae on Saturdays - plenty of bathrooms - the crowd actually dances! read more

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there's nowhere in the city like this right now. Even though it's not the most ideal location to get to, I have a blast every single time I go. There's been a combination of chill nights, and ones where the bar is full, the dance floor is full and you just gotta get with the vybez haha. They typically open at 9, and if it's a night with a cover charge ($10), that usually starts at 10. They used to have patties for sale, but my last several times there I haven't seen them... so make sure you eat before coming! The DJs are always on point, and if you want to know who will be dominating the music, they are adamant about keeping their social media up to date with the performing DJs. They really know how to party! The toughest thing to deal with is the classic Adams Morgan parking, but let me share my secret -- Ontario Road. 98% of the time I find parking there, and it's just a few blocks over from 18th. When you come to the area, try there first. I love me some Club Timehri, and as I said, I don't think there's a spot in DC like it. And if there actually is... let me know! read more

I been coming to Timehri for years. Atmosphere is nice. Music is amazing. I love reggae. If your looking for a good time and love soca, reggae and afro beats. This is the place for you. read more

Good vibes only! So happy to see this place is still around and poppin!! I've been here many times over the years! Big up to my Guyanese people and all my West Indians!! Adams Morgan has never been an easy place to find parking - especially on a Saturday night! I came here last month for a DMV Does Caribbean party. I'm glad I didn't try my luck and ubered over here. The event was nice. The music was great, the drinks were nice and strong and not $20 like so many places these days! Definitely worth it. I will be back again!! read more

Growing up around Caribbean folks, I loved going to places that played soca, dancehall, and reggae. I've been looking for a place in DC where I can enjoy music and feel like I was back in my neighborhood. My review is for my experience on a Friday night after 10. My girlfriend celebrated part 2 of her birthday there so I got the opportunity to visit for the first time! We arrived a little before 1030pm on Friday night. The bouncers were very nice. We were able to get seats at the bar and on the wall as it hadn't started to fill up. HoneyMo is gorgeous and was our bartender. I got two rum punches and they were good. The second one was strong! I really enjoyed. The music was really good and I heard music that i haven't heard in a while. I can't wait to come back again ! read more

I do not recommend. Absolutely 0 stars! I showed up at 12:30am on a weekend. How are they going to say the cover charge is $10 and they accept cash only for the cover charge??? I asked "can you charge it at the bar?" They said "no you can go to the atm across the street." First of all...that was a blessing because I shouldn't have been trying to go in there anyway. It seemed super dirty. someone who seems like they work there...was literally smoking right in front of our face next to where we were talking to the security guy. Anyway this place is disgusting. I don't recommend. Second place we tried on this street. I'll stay away. read more

We came through but there was no parking available and there were several guys hanging outside. The music was loud and lively! I sure wish we could have found somewhere to park so I could give a better review. read more

We went here when they were charging a $10 cover last Friday. We asked the dude at the door if it was lit inside, he promised it was hype up in there. The lies!!! It was beyond trash. We weren't pressed for $10, but it was not even worth $free.99. It looked like no one was in there except regulars who were vibing to the music by their damn selves. We went to 4 other spots in the same area, and all of those were at least 80x better than this place and free to get in. Hard pass. read more

Strong drinks! Great carribean vibe! Will definitely be back! One of the better spots in Adams Morgan!

I was not impressed. Drinks were basic and not cheap. Men were below average....and the women weren't that far behind them. My friend spent the entire time having this old 50 yrs old guy harassing her and several others had bad breath. Not sure what that was all about. The DJ played a few good ones in between all the ones that weren't worth dancing to. Would have loved to hear more afrobeats too. I had high hopes and I'm afraid I let down my friend who was looking forward to a good night. read more

Club Timehri - Whiskey sour - Dance Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I had fun here. It's always refreshing to find my West Indian people in the DMV. The music was good, between the soca and reggae. Vibes. It was crowded on a Saturday night and I unfortunately had on heels (we came here randomly after having dinner at a nearby spot). My feet were hurting, so I rotated between sitting on the couch by the door and getting up to dance. The seating was sparse, so wear your flats ladies. I took off the star because then charging $10 at the door is just greedy. It's a hole in the wall spot. They can make their money at the door. I also took off another star for my drink. I'm doing "wine January," and the only white wine option they had was a supposed rosé, so that's what I ordered. When I got it it tasted more like a pink Moscato. Yuck. And it wasn't even cold. I didn't feel like complaining, so I just asked for a cup of ice to water down the sweetness. I'll be back to get my Caribbean fix. read more

Drinks were good. They played reggae and dancehall all night long. Great spot to for a weekend vibe.

One of my favorite spots for dancehall and reggae . Staff is always super friendly . Good vibes, good drinks and good music

The drinks will have your head gone bad, which is a good ting. Last time I was here I had an acquaintance with Uncle Wray. Those that know him on a second name basis call him Wray & Nephew. The cover after 11pm, free before 11, has kept me coming back for the Afrobeat, Reggae, Dancehall, power, and groovy soca. I'm trini so I never miss a time to free up myself. If you not sweating by 11 you may not be wining properly. Yuh have to grease yuh waistline. read more

Second time and it won't be my last time! If you love good music, dancehall style and great drinks on a crowded dance floor - you will love this spot. Free before 11:00, nice crowd (a little young ) but very nice people just having fun. Once it gets packed it's whining room only. Enjoy ... read more

Club Timehri - This is the amazing rum punch - have 2! - Dance Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I normally find it against everything I believe in to pay a coverage charge at any Adams Morgan establishment as most aren't cover charge worthy but I have to admit Timehri did not make me regret pulling out my cash. This is a great place if you want to go out, dance to some hip hop but mainly reggae and just have a good time. The place is a small little dungeon but with enough space for you to move about a bit. Best thing about it are people are here to dance and have fun, you don't have 1000 people too cute to dance or standing against the wall holding it up, people are dancing, moving and grooving and enjoying themselves, that always adds to my fun when in any establishment. Drinks were my only concern, prices were decent, four drinks were less than 40 dollars but they give you baby cups, they could definitely be bigger with that said the bartender puts a nice amount of alcohol in that small cup, I had a vodka and cranberry that was damn near clear so I couldn't complain too much. If you're a fan of reggae and don't mind going into the dark dungeon to enjoy it, then make that move to Timehri, it will be worth the cover. read more

Club Timehri - Dance Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I stumbled upon this place during a night of drinking in Adams Morgan. After being here, i feel like this is the best spot in Adams Morgan. Drinks are cheap before 12, free to get in before 12, nothing but reggae and dancehall is played, drinks here are really strong, and fellas there are a lot of beautiful women that are in attendance here. Great crowd and good staff. I will definitely be back here when i come to DC. read more

I went to this small Caribbean themed bar with a friend. It's one of the downstairs bars in the trendy strip in Adams Morgan. I did like their mango martini, it was delicious. Although, I was expecting rum at a Caribbean place to be in one of their specials though? Also no food, except some patties, so eat before you come. When I went everyone was on the wall not dancing? Maybe it was the people or the music? Don't get me wrong I liked the music, you can't go wrong with reggae. BUT, if you want people to dance (and what I was expecting) put some dancehall on and I guarantee at least Jamaican people will get up and show you how to wine right! read more

Club Timehri - It's really dark inside. - Dance Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This spot is FIYA!!!! Only for the true bashment reggae "I came to party and dance heads!" If that's not you, then please stop reading and go somewhere else! We partied this weekend for my cuzo B day and it was on point from beginning end (11-3am for us). Reggae, dancehall, soca and drinks was on fleek! The club is small and yes it does get hot - SO WHAT - just party and have fun. Only 1 table for VIP and a good number of stools at the bar. Other than that you dancing or holding up da wall lol! We had Heinekens, mango martinis, Apple martinis and amaretto sours! The cups were small, but the liquor was 90% of that cup. Drink prices were like $4 before midnight but once you hit de dance floor, you ain't going back to the bar.... Ya whining up my friend! We will def return to Timehri and I hope you get a a chance to experience the nostalgia Brooklyn basement bashment party we did! Enjoy and have fun! Ohhhh yea don't drive a truck or suv there as the parking lot is built for cars and the street are parked like downtown Manhattan! read more

Club Timehri - Drinks - Dance Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Just returned from holidays in T&T and was looking for an authentic soca/dancehall/reggae experience in DC. Based on Yelp reviews we picked Timehri. They were playing all those catchy reggae-influenced pop songs (by Magic!, Twenty-One pilots, Sia, etc) when we arrived. The DJ caught me off guard when he switched to Destra on the Set Good riddim. At the end of the night he brought the house down with Shabba Madda Pot. I got my authentic experience, no doubt. The DJ is very talented. Drinks here are powerful, not watered down in the least. Patrons were friendly, laidback people who love to dance. The dance floor is small, which made it intimate and unintimidating. Will be going back often. read more

Club Timehri - bashment stylee at Timehri - Dance Clubs Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

"Where Reggae Lives" I agree. Looking for authentic Caribbean/Afrobeat vibes? Look no further. It's been a minute since someone has wrote a review for this establishment--well it's still the move in Adams Morgan. Came here on a Saturday night around 10/11 pm. It was a $10 cover charge. No problem as that is common on a Saturday night in Adams Morgan. Walked in and realized it was worth it. The drinks were regular price. I bought a Guinness for $5 and my friends ordered the Long Island for $10. He took a sip and made the "this drink is strong" face--so it was worth it. There are two TVs near the bar playing sports and a dance floor for those who want to fully immerse themselves in what this establishment has to offer. Yes, the dance floor was packed and not with people standing around or looking on their phones. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. It was a good mixture of people ranging from young professionals to a more mature crowd. The Dj was playing hit after hit after hit--there was not a "miss" in sight. Bartenders were nice and attentive. I'd definitely come back again. Not many food options here but they do have beef patties. I wish I would've asked if they have vegetarian patties (that'd be lit if they have some available). Anyways, do yourself a favor and check this spot out. read more

I had so much fun! I went on my bday, it was a Saturday and all i wanted to do was dance... I danced allll night long! Good music. They played reggae, soca, afrobeats. good people there. Everyone was moving to the music. $10 cover charge and casual dress code. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to hear reggae all night long! read more

Wish they actually played Soco music. Just played reggae all night. Drinks were decent but don't expect hookah or food here.

Decided to bring one of my non Caribbean friend to Timheri since she is a big fan of Reggae, dancehall and Afrobeats music. I went on a Friday and night in May. It was raining and started off a little slow with little to no people there, however as the night progresses people started coming in. I had an amazing time at Timehri the Dj was on point. Timehri is more of a downstairs bar almost like a basement. The dance floor is small and was completed jam packed. There was no cover charge when I arrived but $10 after 11pm. The drinks were very reasonable in price and the bartenders were friendly read more

Every time me and my now fiance have gone here, we've had an amazing time getting drunk and grinding to authentic reggae/dancehall/soca music spun in a cool, dark dive-y spot. Super cheap, no drama or pretentiousness, complimented by strong and decently priced drinks. What more can I say :) read more

Timehri is one of those places that will remind you of going to the soca/reggae parties of your youth. It always reminds me of a good Brooklyn basement party where you can be found whining with your partner on the wall sweating like crazy. It is a small club located in Adams Morgan where you have to walk down some steps to get to. They have a small bar with drinks averaging around $10, and there is no major dress code. If you want a glamorous night of partying, this is not your spot. This is a place to come and unwind while listening to some "bad tunes". read more

I'll give 4 for it being super low key, with super cheap drinks in the middle of Adams Morgan. Beware! Do not attempt to redeem the 50% off Yelp coupon. I was told that the bar does Not have a Yelp account and therefore the coupon isn't for their company. read more

Decent club with a nice Reggae/Dancehall selection. Cover charge was affordable for $10 but unfortunately had a unpleasant experience with the doorman . I came out for my birthday and while I was looking for ID I did not realize my friend paid my cover. So I gave her my ID and money and my friend tells her he paid for me, but she refused to give my money back, lies and tells him he must have "paid for another girl". We were the only 2 ppl at door. Up charging upfront is one thing but flat out lying kind of dampens the experience of going out, especially since I had a pretty decent time after the fact. Cheap cover & casual dress code would be the reason for coming back but if a friend or significant over is covering you I suggest splitting your bills and handing money b4 hand just incase. read more

Im visiting VA and checked this place out on a wed. there were 10 men and 3 women the entire night.(I counted) thats including the male DJ and female waitress. DJ was on point. he even played a request of mine. there was a lesbian couple dancing so that leaves the 1 woman who was the bartender. drinks where cheap, it ended up being me and 2 other men on the dance floor. Stay away from this place on a wed. Thurs, fri and weekends might be better. will NOT return on wed. willing to try a different day. I loved the dancehall music though. read more

My partner and I were visiting DC for the first time and we were recommended to come here. A lovely lady by the name of Honeymo served us the strongest drinks ever that gave us the feeling of being in Jamica! This place is a must go! The music is a slow chill vibe but well worth it for a good time and beginning to your night! Thank you Honeymo! read more

Post renovation! Such a cool chill spot. Relaxing during the week, a great place to enjoy some island music and great drinks. The service was spot on, quick no hassle. Staff was nice and the DJ was on point. The bathrooms were very clean which is hard to find in Adams Morgan. Give this place a try during the week for a chill spot or on the weekend for a cool underground Caribbean vibe!! read more

The drinks will give you the right kind of buzz. The bartender was so sweet and put love, care and lots of alcohol into our drinks. Went on a Thursday night and the DJ was really turning it out with the dancehall music. It wasn't crowded but I'm sure on a Friday/Saturday night it gets all type of busy. Will definitely go on a weekend. read more

I had fun with my date. More of a club theme than a lounge and as with any typical club: long waits for drinks, scarce seating, but it is expected. Doesn't get overly crowded and dance floor can be somewhat empty at times read more

Very great place, was visiting DC and decided to stop by here after reading the reviews and had to write one myself. Great music, great DJ, great price, perfect drinks, reasonable security good crowd would definitely recommend. Only reason not 5 starts is 2 bartenders for a Saturday night crowd! I mean come on, had to wait for ages for a drink, otherwise you won't be disappointed! read more

I had went for 4th of July week and I had an amazing time. Great variety of music especially for Caribbean. I danced all night and met great people. Cover is usually free on certain days. It gets packed around 12/1. read more

I love Timehri! I don't get out much anymore but this place is my go-to spot for hot dancehall beats and reasonably priced drinks. Where else can you get in free if you don't mind beating the crowd, then pay $4 or less for drink specials for the liquid confidence you need to wine on the dance floor? Whenever I go out, I think Timehri. read more

This place is small, charge 10 to get in but no where to walk, dance, stand... I ordered 1 drink and left. I honestly wanted my money back I was charged to get in because my friends and I couldn't enjoy ourselves last night. This place got 60 dollars of us and we were only there for 30 mins and they just kept letting people in. Some spilled her drink on us because of how packed it was. The music was everything but it's a trap for a fight, men to grope women, and I'm sure it was over compacity. I'm all for supporting a good club but charging folks 10 at the door knowing this small place is overly crowded is a rip-off. I don't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I love the vibes! It can get really crowded but the scene is always peace. It's a one way in one way out kinda spot. You can always catch some good Island vibes here. Nuff said. read more

There are not enough words to explain how amazing Timehri is!!! This place is by far Grade A!!! I am from Brooklyn, home of The True Bashment and every time I'm in the DMV I go to Timehri to get my ENTIRE Life!!! The DJ plays Chune after Chune! I am on the dance floor from the time I arrive until closing! The Rum Punch is made to order, tastes sooo good and makes you feel Nice!!! The bartender Honeymoon makes you feel like you're a regular whether you've been there once or a thousand times! She's absolutely amazing! Timehri is not only the best reggae spot in DC...it's the BEST IN THE STATES!!!! Thank you Timehri I can't wait to come back!!! read more
