    Uncaged Chef Pop up menu
    Bianca P.

    I went to 12-DC on a whim for the Uncaged Chef Pop up brunch/dinner. I had an awful dining experience! I ordered the shrimp and grits. The food was good however, the sausage that came in the dish was cold... as if it was fresh out the refrigerator! The dish comes with 8 shrimp, I only received 6. But the real icing on the cake were the hairs I found at the bottom of my serving dish .... GROSS! I'm not sure if this experience is indicative of 12-DC or the Uncaged chefs but I'm not happy! To add insult to injury, the yelp check in discount was not honored because it was a pop up. Cards and cash are accepted. Hookah is available. I wouldn't bring a large group to eat here as they do not have the space. Expect typical DC parking.

    12Twelve is a new bar/lounge on H st. I came here on a Friday night with a few friends. The owner was VERY VERY nice. She made sure I was taken care of throughout the night. Great first impression!! Food- The food was seasoned very well and the portion was a pretty large. Drinks- The happy hour is until 9 pm. The prices for the drinks were BOMB, especially considering the normal prices in DC. $4 House Drinks, $3 Beers, $5 Long Island. Venue- This place has 2 floors. The first floor has bar/restaurant setting. 2nd floor is more of a lounge/club setting. It's very cute in here. Overall If you're looking for a new cute lounge in DC, I would recommend 12Twelve!

    By no means is this a fancy venue which is located on H street however, what it lacks in visual appeal it makes up for in a great environment, really good prices, and quality service. I stopped here on a Tuesday (which apparently is their Taco Tuesday night) for a quick nightcap which turned out to be a great experience. The deals on this night included $2 tacos and $2 tequila including shots which is a hard bargain to beat. In addition to the deal they provide happy hour from 4pm-9pm which is awesome. The happy hour menu is fairly good with options ranging from wings to shrimp sliders. They have a decent sized dining area but at this time most of the guests were at the bar which is a good size not too large where you need multiple bartenders, but enough room to accommodate a decent sized crowd. The bartender was excellent, attentive and knowledgeable about the various drinks even with it being her first day as the happy hour drinks range from $5-$8 with several options from tequila sunrises to blue motorcycles. I highly recommend stopping by if your looking for affordable food, drinks, and great vibes.

    This is probably the best restaurant for wings in town. The absolute best buffalo and old fashioned wings with DC's original Mambo sauce.

Nomad offers no food just liquor and hookah. They also have cigars for sale but you're allowed to bring your own cigars. I had a Mango mint hookah which was considered to be one of their regular flavor options. The hookah was very flavorful and after about an hour - they changed the coals. The menu says that there's a 2 hour limit on the hookah. However my friend kept ordering drinks and therefore they didn't enforce that rule. You are allowed to bring food in and eat it as long as you're drinking. There are TVs inside and outside and there's music playing as well. The servers are attentive and friendly and I would come back.

They offer a nicely priced happy hour, if I remember correctly. They don't serve food. The drinks are pretty standard. I've never been wowed with my service here, but I've never been disappointed either. Nomad is pretty much a local neighborhood hookah spot that is just good enough. Would I go back? Sure I've been plenty of times! But don't expect fancy or glamour.

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.

We arrived about an hour before the game. We loved that it was still empty so we could get prime seating. The server who welcomed us was so friendly and kind. 5 stars to him! We were there during happy hour and ordered quite a few Mango Cart beers we enjoyed. Another friend joined us right before the game and we all enjoyed our food. I liked my shrimp taco and carne asada taco. My husband really liked his al pastor quesadilla. Our friend thought her steak bowl was fine. The chips we ordered at some point were decent too. The food came out really quickly at first. The server mentioned that it was part of a pop-up kitchen. The vibe of the place is a bit like an underground bar, but great for catching a World Cup game.

We sat at the bar near the back and were immediately greeted. The bartenders were super kind and quick. They chatted with us, but didn't linger. It was a great mix.

We stayed for awhile, and pretty soon we looked up and were like, oh my gosh, this place is packed! Pretty soon there were people everywhere and it was so loud. We decided at that point we wanted to head out, but the bartenders still made sure to say goodbye. We will definitely be back when we are back in DC. Great vibes, atmosphere, and service!
