    I've been here several times and I'm not impressed. On weekends, the lines are super long. I was here recently for a bar crawl and the whole point is that you don't have to wait in the line with a wristband which I had. The guy at the door didn't care and told me to wait in the line. The drinks are overpriced and very watered down. In fact, some of the bartenders don't know how to make basic drinks. Their "VIP" section is a joke! The DC scene is just different these days! Yes, perhaps I'm showing my age here but it is what it is! I'm not a fan!

    We stumbled in here by accident while it was pouring. There is security at the door, so don't bring in any outside food, etc. (he thought our shopping bags were food) We took seats up stairs, it was well ventilated, other guests were seated at least 6 ft from us. They have happy hour drinks, food, and hookah specials until 8 I believe. Food was decent, but not a fan of being served cold sauce for hot mozzarella sticks. I ended up eating them plain and it was ok. I'm not from DC so I probably won't return but try it out if your in the neighborhood.

    Service was amazing. We had Rim as our server and she was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu. Great hookah, great drinks and great music. They have a photographer in the building and you can get a framed picture for $20 by the end of your night. Definitely would recommend.

    Proof that I had to change my own hookah.

    0 stars! I created a Yelp account just for this review. This establishment is terrible. Not only do they take FOREVER to bring drinks out (meanwhile it's not busy), but they have terrible customer service. I had an issue with the hookah that I ordered because it was too harsh. I told the bartender/waitress, and I told the manager. They did not check on the issue until I repeatedly spoke upon it. In addition, I was asked to change my own hookah which caused me to burn myself. I 100% do not recommend. There are many other hookah lounges in the area you can visit besides this one. By the way, I'm from NYC. My experience was absolutely terrible.

    I came during non happy hours. I thought the service and vibe was great. I enjoyed coming here and will add it to my list of go-to places. I will definitely come back to try their happy hour.

    I loveeeeeee this place! It is so chic and sexy inside. Great renovation! They offer good food and pricing, fries were AMAZING! The margarita was good, pretty waitresses, hookah and the dj... DJ LOUD was soooo dope! I mean I wasn't sure if I wanted to dance, eat - dance drink? Dance talk... it was a chill Wednesday night but he made it feel like it was a Friday /Saturday! I was disappointed the bar was limited, they didn't have grapefruit juice or the ingredients for one if their signature drinks Cuervo sunshine. My friend got the 3 for 3 - chicken wings/chicken tenders/fries. He smashed them! It was described to be the perfect crisp and juicy meet for the tenders and the wings were good apparently. The upstairs was nice- you could only sit down if you opened a tab - which basically gave you the only option to sit downstairs or at the bar. It wasn't like they were selling sections and we already had drinks. We ended up just going back down stairs. The lighting is sexy, it's very narrow like most bars on u street . I enjoyed my chill evening here definitely will go back in a weekend - which I'm certain it will be packed .

    See all

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.

It was empty for a weekend afternoon The drinks were cheap - $7 for specials and they weee made pretty strong. Service was friendly. They add 20% gratuity automatically and don't share that with you - which is always a pain and not appreciated when they don't tell you and with lots of restaurants following different rules in DC.

Once inside, we were escorted up an elevator to the rooftop which was set up very comfortably. There's a long bar that seats 10-15 guests, lots of high top tables, and a good handful of booths. The lighting is fun, views are solid, and open-covered patio is really nice. The drinks were good - there was a $6 vodka lemonade special for the day so we had a few rounds of those. The lemonade they used was delicious - perfectly tart to cut the vodka well. They also added mint to the drink, which really made it pop. I'm about to start doing the same at home! We tried the nachos which were a little disappointing. Nothing stood out from a flavor or taste perspective - they need a little pop of seasoning or flavor. They also weren't your traditional nacho platter, but seemingly an elevated 'fancier' version. Appreciate the effort to elevate the dish, but a classic sheetpan nacho would have been perfect. Our service was a little bit slow - we found ourselves having to work a little bit to flag down a waitress or bartender. Not terribly slow, but something that we noticed throughout the afternoon. Pro tip: Keep your eyes peeled as you head towards the entrance - the main door was a little tough to find. We walked right past the entrance way once and had to doubleback. A larger sidewalk presence might be helpful to help bring folks in.

I've been to The Park a few times, and I'm not even going to lie -- I go for the HH every time. They have one of the BEST happy hours in the DMV. Don't argue with me! The drinks are reasonably priced, the food prices are on point, and everything is GOOD. The Park is always CLEAN -- from top to bottom, okay! It gives upscale restaurant vibes every time. I always forget how cute it is inside, and the music was definitely setting the tone. They're officially back on my HH recommendation list!

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.
