Wow... where to begin... this was disappointing to say the least. 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.

It's a spacious…read morevenue with 2 floors each having a large bar surrounded by some small tables and larger spaces with couches and larger tables to support VIP and bottle service purchases. They've got all the neon signs and photo lighting you could imagine and most nights there's a DJ spinning mostly early 2000's and current hip-hop and r&b music with some afrobeats mixed in. In most of my experiences they are generally well staffed to handle the larger weekend crowds and from management to the servers the staff is typically very pleasant and timely in regard to service. This is probably one of the few spots that opens until 3-4am, if you're looking for something on a late night. They also host a variety of discounted events on a given day whether it be extended happy hours from 4-10pm, free hookah Monday's, or various specials for football game nights. I definitely recommend giving them a try if you're looking for something in-between lounge and club vibes with good hookah and high energy.

They offer a nicely priced happy hour, if I remember correctly. They don't serve food. The drinks are pretty standard.

It was a small crowd inside…read morebut since my friend was smoking a cigar we could only sit outside under the heaters on the covered portion of the outside sidewalk. Nomad offers no food just liquor and hookah. They also have cigars for sale but you're allowed to bring your own cigars. I had a Mango mint hookah which was considered to be one of their regular flavor options. The hookah was very flavorful and after about an hour - they changed the coals. The menu says that there's a 2 hour limit on the hookah. However my friend kept ordering drinks and therefore they didn't enforce that rule. You are allowed to bring food in and eat it as long as you're drinking. There are TVs inside and outside and there's music playing as well. The servers are attentive and friendly and I would come back.

Is it fair for a regular to comment? Maybe... maybe not...but this is my favorite hookah bar in DC!…read more The service is great - I can note several of the bartenders by name (Yulia, Chrissy, JD, Simca just to name a few) and they recognize me -- so it's a local vibe for regulars, but open to new regulars! That said, there are busy nights (typically on the weekends) so you will need to be a little patient and may need to arrive earlier if you want a seat. That (also) said, I'll ask you - where can you get sushi and hookah? It's like the best combo of bougie and ratchet - I think they call it sophistiratchet. The hookah is consistent and reasonably priced when you consider some of the other spots who outsource their hookah to vendors and charge double the cost. The music is always good - ranging from current hits to afrobeats to oldies. Try it out and see what you think!!

The service was subpar, the waitress couldn't hear anything we asked and ran the our card without giving us an itemized bill. Didn't even bother with food.

Parkmobile payment until 10p on a Wednesday night. Happy Hour was until 9pm and then there were also specials until closing. $5 shots. I actually had a Blue Margarita, $10 I think. Sipped that the entire time we were there. Oversized games to play (Jenga/Connect 4). TVs along the walls. Music was playing. It turned up real loud around 930pm. You can also order food. Nice little "hole in the wall". Pull our your ID to enter. Hook is available, during HH is was like $23, and after 9pm, just $33 but very reasonably priced I would def. like to come back!

The hookah they brought me was something you'd get for your college dorm. Cheap plastic hose and it tasted NOTHING like mango. I've had much better for less even in the US. I will say though that the service was good. They don't serve food but you can bring it in and there's plenty along the street. After about 10 pm on a Saturday night they play the music LOUD and it's a lot of the trap/thotcore stuff i.e. Megan thee Stallion, Cardi B, Nikki Minaj, City Girls, Drake, DaBaby, that kinda stuff. If you want a cheap-ish place to chill and listen to some hotunes while you watch the game then it's the spot.

I am writing to formally report an incident that occurred at Rose Bar on Saturday, November 1st,…read morearound 11:48 PM on the second-floor bar (where DJ Ratchet was performing). There were two bartenders working at that time. The bartender in question was not the Asian woman, but rather a woman who appeared to be mixed with Black and White. Her behavior toward me and my husband was extremely unprofessional, inappropriate, and disrespectful. From the moment I approached the bar, she was unfriendly, dismissive, and gave me dirty looks. She then made a highly inappropriate comment toward my husband, stating that she was "out of strawberry Hennessy but sweet enough for him," and later propositioned him for sex in exchange for money. I ordered two drinks -- a Jolly Rancher and a Long Island. My drink had no alcohol in it, despite costing nearly $50 for both drinks. When my husband returned the drink to the bar and mentioned that it lacked alcohol, the bartender laughed and called me a "bitch." This experience left me deeply uncomfortable and disrespected, especially as a married woman. It is unacceptable for staff to engage in such inappropriate and sexually suggestive behavior toward customers. The bartender's actions made me feel unsafe and completely unwelcome, and I will not return to Rose Bar as a result. I am requesting that this matter be investigated immediately and that appropriate action be taken against the bartender involved. I also recommend that management review its employee conduct policies and sexual harassment training to ensure all patrons are treated with dignity and respect. Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I am available to provide additional details if needed. Date of Incident: Saturday, November 1st Time: Approximately 11:48 PM Location: Second-Floor Bar (where DJ Ratchet was performing)

They all look the same (light skinned, long black hair, and fake lashes) and all have the same stank ass attitude. Like they aren't on the clock to work. Maybe give them a class on smiling and turning up with the crowd because that's what they should be doing. I used to bartend and I've never had the attitude that these ladies have. All on their phones just standing around annoyed. Additionally, why don't yall take major credit cards here? No American Express, no discover? That will be the reason I won't be back and if it wasn't free to get in, I definitely would have went to one of the parties next door. Lastly, the girl (dark skinned black girl with braids) that was working the front door on Sunday for the white party is a bitch. And I hate to put it that way but she let us go out with the security standing there because we were coming right back, she said it was cool. We come back and she makes me pay $30 to let my husband back in and was making a big deal, yelling with an attitude. Even though we were just inside and had been told by her and security that we could come back in. It was awful.

I did not have the best experience. Upon arriving, my party of 2 ordered a hookah, which came out…read moreabout 10-15 minutes, which is fine. We also ordered two shots, wings, and chicken tenders. The drinks took about 25 minutes to arrive. We were not checked on for another 40 minutes and had to wave down the waitress who was sitting with her back to us while charging/playing on her cell phone. She seemed amused when we complained about the wait. The food had not yet come out and it had been over an hour since we ordered. We were the first people there (about 30 minutes after they opened) so it was empty; therefore no reason for the spotty service. They finally brought out our food 10 minutes after we asked for our checks to leave (the third time we had to flag her down). Pros: drinks, hookah Cons: service time, parking, the smell of vomit on the floors, wait staff I'd come solely for hookah in the future. Do better, please!
