    The decor is gorgeous, the lighting is low and could be a great date spot but the music is loud. I stopped in for a happy hour drink during the week and I was pleasantly surprised how late their happy hour runs. We got two rounds of drinks, all were good. The bartender was very attentive and helpful with questions. This is a great place is stop by before or after your dinner reservation.

    Good Love is off to a good start!! As far as I know, it's the sister speakeasy lounge to Isla Restaurant, and it is a whole moody, relaxed, upscale vibe. I think it's on trend of restaurants offering a 2nd location dedicated to a more relaxed, after work, lite bites, happy hour atmosphere. And Im here for it. It's nice to have a nearby location to chill immediately before or after dinner and enjoy a comparable experience to the restaurant, without having to worry about being rushed to/from your table. The service was spectacular, and our server M was very knowledgeable of the menu options. The decor is plush, and velvety, with gold and auburn and orange hues. 1 star deduction for not having any mocktail options on the menu. And I overheard a staff member loudly remark, "ordering a mocktail is craazzzyyy", when my server asked for their help ringing up the mocktail in their system. This was just flat out unprofessional and distasteful. Isla offers mocktails, so why wouldn't I inquire if GoodLove has a mocktail selection as well. However, our server offered some off menu mocktail options after I asked. Also, side note-there is one single unisex bathroom, and on the floor, near the toilet, is a drain, so beware because the (high) heel of your shoe can get stuck in the drain grate. Finally, the Drinks are pricey... Overall, I highly recommend! Yelp pro tip: there's a side door to enter Good Love, that is directly across from Isla Restaurant entrance, so you don't have walk around the front of the building.

    If you are looking for a grown and sexy cocktail bar, then this is your spot. I love the fact that it's dark inside and they usually have a DJ on the weekends. They also have happy hour on the weekends as well. They have a classic drink menu and then they have a drink menu, which is a little bit more futuristic with a twist. They have a small food menu and the food comes from the restaurant Isla. I had the hamburger beef patties and they were delicious. I'll definitely be back.

    Bartender Nick G, had made my first experience at Good Love unpleasant after he inconvenienced me for charging my entire party's bill to my card... when I wanted to only pay for my singular drink... Ambiance is fantastic and the drinks were great! But next time maybe ask before assuming :( my party was very annoyed by this. You can be busy and still ask one clarifying question...

    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.

Came here with my a couple of my homies for a quick drink and this place is too cute. Small but spacious, dimly lit but not eerie or creepy and the bartender is NOT shy with the pours. Music was some early 2k r&b (who doesnt love that?) and its just... vibey! I know sometimes men can feel a little put off by women being in their space, lesbian or not, which I completely understand, but we felt welcomed! Two gentlemen even offered for us to sit at their table - so sweet. Even the security guards were sweeties so I can definitely see myself returning on a random night.

Shortly after, Chris came over, introduced himself, and he was such a pleasure to have as our server. He started us off with drinks we enjoyed, and we had a great time chatting with him. We told him we were celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week and a graduation this weekend. We sampled the crab soup, and it was a major hit -- so good that we ended up ordering two cups! Chris also recommended the apple crisp dessert and OMG... it was absolutely delicious. We left with smiles, full tummies, and excellent service. I would definitely recommend asking for Chris when you visit. We'll definitely be back!

They were able to accommodate my large party with ease. The mimosas were flowing, the brunch plates were full (and plentiful), and overall the service was attentive and seamless. When it was time to celebrate me as the main event, they truly delivered -- dessert, shots, marquee signs -- the whole moment. I felt like a star. Definitely main character energy. I always enjoy my experiences at Park, and honestly, I may be back again next year for a three-peat birthday celebration. It's always a great time.

We decided to stay and check it out, @1pm on a Sunday. Brunch is from 11a-4pm. There was only 1 other person for brunch, when we arrived. There was a DJ was that playing super loud music. Mostly rap music. The food was good. Fresh salad, fruit, meats etc. Unlimited mimosas was $25 per person. We could only order 1 flavor at a time, which there was about 8 flavors. They were good By 3pm, the place was more so filling up. What was crazy was at 4pm, the workers started breaking down the buffet-- quickly!! A group that had arrived @ 3 were caught off guard that brunch was ending. The workers did provide everyone with TAKE HOME Boxes, so we filled our boxes as fast as they were breaking it down lol Hookah guy arrived, think it was a total of $68. The hookah was good Gratuity is automatically included. Our waitress was GREAT! Only thing I didn't like, the place had her walking around in a tight leopard body suit, with her arms out, like this was the Playboy mansion. It was cold in there. I would come back for brunch - just know, there was not a mention of a Buffet brunch online
