Donyiel C.

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 .

Spend your money elsewhere. I was drinking at a table and asked to get up before I was finished for some friends of the waitress. Rude AF.

Had a blast here during #TheBlackBarCrawl strong drinks, good music on both floors. It's a bit narrow, but fun when it's not too packed.

I tried their famous hot chocolate. It's too "chocolate" for me. I can't finish the whole cup. But I like their marshmallow.

Sports and Social is such a Sunday Funday attraction! Our server Zoey was attentive, and engaged…read morewith our table! She gave her recommendations of what she likes. This location is in the heart of the city so even if you care to walk around the city at the end of beginning of your trip to S&S, you're in a good mobile area! Other eatery and entertaining spots are all within walking disance. Parking to address, was bad. There are SOME parking lots in the surrounding areas but verrrry minimal, so I would advise Uber'ing in or carpooling with friends. My party of 3 were lucky to have gotten a spot right outside of the entrance. Sidebar, because the Super Bowl and other sports are in rotation now, I would 100000% advise parties over 2 to make a reservation, as its the most helpful to guarantee a spot. See Open Table for reservations - that was where our plans were arranged. See attached pictures for the food we ate and enjoyed - the wings (mine were mumbo and buffalo), fries, and crab dip.

Last Friday was my first time at Sport & Social, and I can't believe I didn't even know this place…read moreexisted. My friend hosted a happy hour there, and I love when events like that introduce you to new spots. The drink specials were honestly amazing with $6 drinks, which is hard to beat. The food specials ended at 7 while the drink specials continued until 8, so I was a little bummed to miss out on that. One thing to note if you're ordering food, the four cheese pizza comes with burrata, which I didn't realize ahead of time. I'd definitely come back to try more of the food, especially the flatbreads since they seem to have a lot of good options. That said, I don't think the staff was fully prepared for the size of our group. My friend brought around 60 people on a Friday night, and it was clear the servers were overwhelmed. At times, it took over 10 minutes just to place an order. I don't necessarily think that's the norm, so I'd be open to coming back during a regular happy hour to get a better feel for the service. Great size bar as well.

Great local bar with large rotating craft beer selection. Highly recommend for any beer…read moreenthusiast. They have wine and cocktails as well. They are happy to recommend beer for your taste, and let you sample. It can be very busy and difficult to get a seat at the bar or get a table on a Friday or Saturday evening. We ordered food, and were expecting elevated bar food. The tater tots were a huge disappointment- they were very large squares , bland, and not crispy. The wings were okay. The cheeseburgers were the best- from the restaurant downstairs- mallard. Huge burger, done perfectly medium.

Here's a review written as part of a visit to both Churchkey and Birch & Barley (the downstairs…read morerestaurant -- together they form the "2 Enjoy Everything" concept by Neighborhood Restaurant Group): A DC Gem That Delivers on Every Level If you haven't made it to Churchkey on 14th Street yet, move it to the top of your list. I visited as part of the full experience -- dinner downstairs at Birch & Barley, then up to Churchkey for drinks -- and honestly, it's one of the best evenings I've had in DC. Churchkey itself is everything a great bar should be. The beer selection is absolutely unreal -- hundreds of carefully curated labels spanning every style, region, and flavor profile you can imagine. What sets it apart is that the staff actually knows the menu. Our server walked us through a few options based on what we liked and landed us on perfect picks both times. That kind of genuine expertise is rare. The tavern pizzas from the wood-fired oven were a wonderful surprise -- thin, crispy, and the perfect companion to a cold draft. The smash burger also deserves a mention: simple, well-executed, and hits the spot. The vibe is warm and lively without being overwhelming. Great for a date, a group, or even just sitting at the bar solo with a good beer and good conversation with the bartender. This place has earned its reputation as one of the best beer bars on the East Coast -- and then some. Highly recommend making a full night of it with both floors. You won't regret it. Feel free to adjust the tone or add any personal details from your actual visit!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
