Service: The girls are pretty and usually attentive. The owner is really nice. He takes pride in his spot and treats all customers the same. Ambiance: Not a fan of the wallpaper downstairs but it's a nice size for it to be a restaurant then a club. They also have an upstairs but DJs are on both floors. Music is always good, Mason has the best DJs playing afrobeats, gogo, American and even Hispanic music. This is great spot if you want to just come to eat and hangout or have a night out that's not in dc.

The turkey was a little over cooked but not too bad. The serivce was 0/10. Being that we were the only customers in the entire restaurant our server/bartender was not attentive at all and had a nasty attitude. I ordered a lemon drop and asked for sugar rim . She said they don't have sugar, cool! But when i received my drink my glass at the bottom was visibly dirty and dried up old sugar on the rim. I told her about the issue and she seemed more annoyed that i brought it to her attention. I will not be back based off of how the bartender treated us. And she added a 20% gratuity to our bill which i believe she did not deserve.

JCK has been on my list for a while to try; glad I finally stopped through for happy hour on a…read moreFriday. Their HH runs Mon-Fri from 5-7 and include 5-7 cocktails, beer, and wine that they offer at $2ish off the regular price. We stuck with the cocktails and had their Blue Lagoons (which are essentially electric blue vodka lemonades) for $8ish. They were tasty and after 2 of them, we were definitely ready to party. Next time, I want to try the rum punch for $10 - though I noticed the rum punch was premade (vs being made fresh per order). Unfortunately, there are no food offers on the happy hour. The spot was very empty when we arrived, maybe around 5.30p - there was one other couple enjoying time at the bar. Outside of the 8-10 bar seats, they have some lounge level seating, as well as more standard 4-top tables. At the very front of the area, is a small stage where DJ's and karaoke specialists set up. The food was really good; I had the curry chicken plate for $16ish and my girlfriend had the shrimp rasta pasta for $19ish. The food was very flavorful and came out piping hot from the kitchen. I'd get the curry again, for sure. The environment and vibe was the most enjoyable part of my visit; the hip hop and top40's music gave the place a great energy (but wasn't so loud that you couldn't chat. The bartenders were energetic, lively, and friendly. There seemed to be alot of regular patrons who knew each other and the bartenders - that's a really good sign. The star of the show was karaoke which started around 8 (when the bar was getting much more crowded). The karaoke host was great; she kept the group energized and led some karaoke style games and activities that I hadn't seen before. We ended up stay out way longer than expected because we were having such a nice time. I look forward to my next happy hour at JCK. Pro tip: It looks like they have coordinated, promoted parties twice a month on Fridays. And on the other Fridays, they have the 'standard' karaoke nights. Check their IG for the official, promoted parties.

This one slipped under my radar! If you know you know -- JCK is short for Jamaican Country Kitchen,…read morewhich happens to be right next door. I am no stranger to them, having seen their truck at Savor Bowie almost every single time I've gone. And I've driven by their brick-and-mortar multiple times, but never stopped. This one crossed my radar when my friend invited me to a soca party, and I was like "JCK Bar & Lounge? In Hyattsville? How have I never heard of that?" And now it all makes sense -- some time last year, Jamaican Country Kitchen expanded, and now they've got this place, DJ booth, dance floor, bar, lounge, restaurant, all in one. And I gotta say, it was a vibe. The staff was nice and I loved the decor and feel of the place. Bar was cozy and it was nice to be somewhere this late at night that still served authentic Caribbean food. They have happy hour, so I am going to have to return and get a deep dive on how they feel on a regular weekday after work. And I gotta see how their food compares to my other favorites nowadays!

(For some reason, the sound doesn't sync up with either so it takes some getting used to.) There is also a tv with the RedZone channel, so you can track your fantasy players or just watch better games than the one outside, which comes in handy if say, the team is losing to St Louis by a score of 24-0 to go 3-10 on the year (hypothetically speaking of course). The weird thing is that although they serve food, the only options are nachos (chicken, beef or vegetarian). It's kind of strange to have no other choices in a lounge that's meant to hold you for hours. There is a full bar and you will pay stadium prices for everything, but you can bring in food that was purchased elsewhere in the stadium. If you have a club level ticket, it's worth stopping by - even if it's just to warm up. Be warned, it can fill up fast at halftime.

I recently attended a cocktail party of sorts at this venue. Prior to being invited, I had no clue…read morethis building housed an event room that could accommodate small to mid sized gatherings. Located on the 5th floor, Loft 5900 offers a kitchen, uplighting, slide shows, restrooms in the hallway, sofas, and cocktail style tables. I assume depending on the type of event you're having, depends on the furniture that's provided. We were going through a bit of a heat wave when this event occurred, so it was hot and humid to the ultimate outside. When we entered into the building it was even hotter. Literally no air was circulating in the building or on the elevator. I was a bit worried that the venue was going to be that warm too, but thankfully it wasn't. Not sure if it's like that normally, but I hope that issue gets addressed because it was truly uncomfortable. The venue itself is a cute and intimate space. It does give you the feel of a loft - hardwood floors and a chic flow, but the entryway is a bit dated and only one elevator was working that evening. It's a pretty cool option for a venue/space for an event. I think it would be perfect for a baby shower, wedding shower, cocktail party or something on a smaller scale. I'll put this on my list for future venue options, hopefully it just won't be during a heat wave.

Food: The first time I came to prime 3 yrs ago & I ordered suya and I was quite impressed. I…read morebelieve it was ~10 for a big white square container filled up & I felt that was a decent amount for the price. Flash forward to this week when my friend ordered me door dash from there & I could not believe my eyes. We bought ($23- bobolo & ndole, $13- suya, $7 plantains, pictures below) For how expensive the food was you would expect it to be in a large quantity; but that wasn't even the annoying part. My issue was I felt like it lacked the authentic Kmer taste. Almost as tho the chef rushed through the meal. Keep in mind, I grew up with my grand mom in Cameroon & we're bayangi so I know how good food taste. The meat was cut in huge pieces & not boiled all the way. The ndole was practically a watered down peanuts soup. The bobolo wasn't done nor was the plantains. The suya did taste good & well done 10/10 but they cut the portion size in half & increased the price; so the meal wasn't worth the money we spent in my opinion. I understand inflation & I normally don't mind paying for stuff but it has to at least taste GOOD! Keep in mind, this was my experience maybe yours might be different. I know I def won't be referring any of my friends there for their food! Night life: I've been to prime countless times for night life & tbh it's a hit or miss. Def come with a good group of friends so y'all can vibe together. Beware the crowd, is mostly older folks & if you're a girl then big stomach men will def hit on you. Go somewhere else if you're looking for a younger crowd. I like Cameroonian & Afrobeats music & I go out to have fun regardless of who is in the room; but I have friends who say it's gives Kumba vibes lol so they rarely come there for night life. They also have hookah available. my friends seemed to like it but I can't speak on it cuz I'm not smoker. Overall: there's always enough parking, quiet & safe neighborhood. If you go during the day, they do a good job of keeping the place neat & decent customer service. Night time, the music is very loud so you'll have to speak louder to talk to a server. Note: Police normally lurk the area & the speed limit is like 25 so be careful, then again you gotta be careful in this entire America so. I've posted many pics & vids below. Hope it helps.

Probably 3.5 stars worth, but I'm giving it five to compensate for the poor reviews. I was concerned about the security issue reading here, but the staff was very understanding and helpful. They pointed out all of the security upgrades made on the property and offered to refund my deposit if I still didn't feel safe. The parking lot has a fence, large lights, security cameras, and a night guard. I can understand this is right off the highway and more of a transient area, but I felt safe here. Staff was very friendly all around and helpful. Good team both late on arrival and in the morning. As for room condition, there are a few little details but not bad. Rooms were recently revamped with nice tub liners and the HVAC was upgraded too. I'd stay here again if I am in the area.

I really love the ambience of the restaurant where you have seating for both the bar (where you can enjoy music and pool) as well as the restaurant side where you can sit and dine or wait for a pick up order. The staff is great! I really enjoy the main hostess as they are very hospitable and accommodating. This evening, we sat at the bar and ordered lots of great food, especially the Birria tacos and quesadillas. The consume was just the right consistency! I will say that my only issue is that the bar does not have enough options for various types of drinks - were so being able to modify classic cocktails I definitely will be back and have been back to order carry out however eating and it's my preference.

The atmosphere is extremely vibrant and filled with positive energy ( I came in for a takeout order and ended up staying for over two hours... ) I had the honey hot sauce Salmon bites... and I would call them mini bites of perfection ( absolutely delicious ) seasoned just right and the HH serving definitely outshines its $8 tab... I also ordered the 1/2 chicken with seafood fried rice and cabbage ( that's for dinner.. but I couldn't wait to put the spot light on their super live HH ! ) The customer service is cool ( they can seem a little overwhelmed at times ) shoutout to Tae the bartender for doing an amazing job at keeping everyone happy and grooving ( Hennessy side-car was no less than an 8 1/2 ) And I want to give BIG props to the manager ( Kelvin I believe his name is ) he went above and beyond to ensure that every soul in his restaurant was pleased and took care of on a high level from beginning to end... definitely should be up for restaurant manager of the year !!! FYI: Now, my biggest gripe ( and what had me close to putting 3-stars... but the Vibe kept it at 4-stars ) was the fact that I ordered a dozen of raw oysters and they served them on a plate ( not on ice ) the oysters were warm, which made them stick to the shell entirely too much. Kelvin, one word of advice... no high end or reputable establishment ever serves their oysters on a ice less plate ( NEVER ) I know you'll correct that in the very near future... Miss Toya's is too on point not to invest into official oyster treys !!! Definitely going back real soon for HH again...

I am so sorry but I did not like the food here and my family is from NOLA. The only item that…read moretasted really good was the crab stuffed oysters. Me and my sister came here for the first time, I got it confused with Miss Shirley's but still wanted to check it out. Simple set up but a welcoming staff. There was a live jazz 2 man band which was very fitting. Denise was our waitress and was very nice, attentive and informing. After the oysters, I ordered the Cajun shrimp pasta. I did not care for it at all, the shrimp was full of seasoning but not the pasta itself. It was like it was thrown on top of the sauce and everything was just mixed in lightly. My sister ordered the shrimp and grits that looked so oily when it came out, we asked Denise if they could make less oily. It was just returned within 2-3 minutes with more oil we just asked for it to be taken back. My sister ended with the chicken and waffles. I honestly will never understand that concept but she liked it. We also ordered the spinach dip and it tasted so bland. We also got the charbroiled oysters,we didn't like the cheese on it. I'm use to briny or spicy type of charbroiled. I don't think it's worth the $55 bottomless food unless you are super hungry and can eat for awhile. We didn't do the bottomless drinks but for $25 that's not bad at all.
