My friends and I pride ourselves on supporting black owned businesses in which there's seems to…read morealways be A great disappointment to why "we" are not good at business. The Gold Room DC has failed just as others. When we first arrived we requested Prosecco which they did not have. When given to other alternatives to the waiters (red wine) they didn't have that either. We opted for Moet Champagne along with 2 bottled waters. Which we were given plastic champagne flutes that clearly was reused. We drank directly from the bottles instead. Later another joined our group who actually went the bar to order a Jameson and Ginger Ale. While making the drink she noticed the bar tender attempting to use Sprite in her drink of Jameson. She politely said, I asked for ginger ale. The waiter stated, " we don't have ginger ale". As we continued, later we asked for 3 additional bottled waters. Guess what? They didn't have anymore bottled water... There's a Whole, foods, Walmart, and Giant on H Street. Did I mentioned someone pointed out the owners while sitting? The waitresses were the only positive asset. Genesis and Janet I believe there names to be. Hookah guy- not too friendly. This place has so much potential but could most certainly use an uplift with the level of commitment, cleanliness, layout and decor. Very janky, hole in the wall vibes. Hope this review brings some light as would still like for us African Americans succeed in all aspects of business especially in our DC landmark areas.

The place was pretty empty and I think that we were the only people in there actually. It was dimly lit to set the mood. But regardless of it being empty, not a single server came to offer us drinks or hookah. I want to say we were there at least 20 mins. Someone even went up to the counter to order and it never came. So we left. Why spend your money where it's not wanted?

Whenever I meet people who dance, they talk about how fun Timehri is - that they love the fact that…read moremost people are dancing here, which is surprisingly rare in the club scene. This is a club for the dancers and the DJs know that their job is to make the people dance (not as much before midnight when more people are lounging and talking). There are regulars who come here to dance. Also, unlike many of the restaurant/bars turned clubs in Adams Morgan, this venue was designed with speakers and sound travel and quality in mind. Places like Moonlight, Shanklin Hall, Jerk Pit/Oasis Upstairs do not have anywhere near this sound quality regardless of the caliber of speakers that are brought in for the event. As nice as SH could be, the music quality was horrendous and I found myself running back to Timehri. Similar to Moonlight's upstairs, architecture gets in the way when it's a space that is designed for another purpose and you're trying to force it to be a club. Turning up the volume just makes it worse and more obvious that there are sound quality problems. That is to say, part of the enjoyment of dancing is being able to focus on the music and not trying to figure out what song they're attempting to play. Timehri is below ground so it's like being in a dance cave. The reverberations of the bass alone - this is something you feel and get accustomed to the way the earth and the walls bring the music back out onto the dance floor. It is also dark. I enjoy darkness but it also heightens other senses and allows you to be more present and feel the music. This helps create an atmosphere where folks dance like no one is watching. I literally do my yoga and physical therapy stretches and exercises here (I'm grateful because I need to do them and wouldn't feel comfortable doing them in other places), then my dance class warm-ups and try out variations of routines from recent dance classes of all sorts - it's not weird and all I've gotten is encouragement. As a seasoned woman of size, I do not feel out of place here. I like that there is a blend of ages, sizes, races, nationalities, etc. It's an unpretentious environment and many times I meet people here, they express how much they enjoy it, in spite of the potential inconvenience of parking and such. It is a bit of a smaller space, but if you come on week night, it is more relaxed and not as crowded (Fridays tend to be less hectic too) though I'd check their social media to verify if they will be open on a specific weekday. I have yet to see them close on a Fri or Sat unless it's Christmas or something but they charge a cover on weekends after 11 pm. And if you do get there before 11, understand that Caribbean people aren't really going to be there until 1 am. There are some negatives but I will allow people to experience that for themselves. On Safety, there was a point after the DC nightlife reopening after over a year of being shut down where I experienced many unfortunate, violent encounters in Adams Morgan, but upon further investigation and talking to other women (some who moved to other countries or parts of the country after traumatic incidents going out in DC in 2021ish), it seems like that has mostly passed for the time being. That being said, be vigilant and bring a friend if you can - there are predators who frequent all the venues and while I notice them infrequently, they are still some out. Moving on, there are enough venues in the area now that for people who enjoy Caribbean music to do a bar crawl and visit multiple venues on the same block or 2 - and don't forget to include Timehri as it is open later than most.

I wish I caught the name of who the DJ was, but that playlist was absolutely made for millennials and I was here for it. Entry was easy... You show your ID downstairs, and then you take the elevator up to the 12th floor. Even on the elevator, the music is blasting to get you ready for the party that is upstairs. It's a fairly spacious interior with a lot of VIP sections. The bar is big enough, though by the time we got there it was pretty crowded. Being a rooftop and being in the wharf, the drinks are easily more than $20. No, there were some Sunday specials that were $16, which is not bad for a place like this at all. I just drank water, which was conveniently located at both ends of the bar for self-service. The balcony outside was nice, though it was hot, so that water came handy, whew. Really nice views for sure! Maybe it was just that DJ, but I would come back. The food that I saw floating around looked really good too. I wonder how much it was?
