    Pros: Vibes were there with the music, decent sized lounge where you don't feel people are on top of you, inside was clean and nice decor The menus didn't have any prices or descriptions which left room for a lot of questions. Our server wasn't too knowledgeable of the menu..at least know what the diko special is. She did check in enough but never offered water. The manager was just sitting chilling and never checked in on any tables The drinks were very mid and tasted artificial, which I found odd for a strawberry margarita and blue motorcycle. Unfortunately I had to ask for the blue motorcycles to be remade. it looked like a blue Powerade and tasted only like blue curaçao. My sisters boyfriend wasn't thrilled with his old fashioned. He shared his mozzarella sticks and veggie rolls were fine, nothing to rave about. The hookah flavor was what it should have been. They did come check on the coal without prompting. Now the check was confusing. There was 2 different taxes and when we asked the server she was also unaware. She returned reporting 2 different taxes for the liquor and hookah.The math still didn't add up and they also add an automatic gratuity of 20% which is a bit much

    Came here for my birthday and it was a vibe! The hookah was nice and smooth, no issues ordering. I love the fact that it's tucked away and super intimate. The drinks are moderately priced, with a fully stocked bar. Diko was very inviting, she gave us the history of her name and her experience as an owner. Guests can request music, or select the music they want to hear on the iPad, which is a plus!

    Dicko bar

    Dicko lounge is the best women owned bar that provides once free BBQ grill for the community. This looks bad of happening has not been provided for other restaurants and bars in the DC metro area. Come over at Dicko lounge to experience the DC VA environment of excellent brothers and sisters coming from other cities and states. Dicko is not afraid to challenges because she worked on the house industry for many years before she opened her own restaurant bar. Come over brothers and sisters. Let's celebrate women owned restaurant bar.

    DONT. COME. Here! They will lie to you and tell you 3 extra charges for state policy and think you are stupid don't believe it. I ordered 4 shots and 3 beers and this person wants to do the most. Don't believe anybody in here. I don't care, go to Babylon, go to black rose and go anywhere else ! But don't go here!

    My partner and I had a amazing time @ Diko, everything was on point. My only complaint, was the 20% service charge. I feel you should be made aware of that at the start of your meal because that's a lot on top all the taxes, but that WILL NOT keep us away.

    Hookah. Smooth AF!!!

    Prices there shouldn't be a "liquor tax" let alone charging an outrageous amount for the customers

    Stopping by here while on a road trip was totally unexpected good times…read more I was leaving from D.C. on a Sunday and was wanting a adult drink and to vibe out a little. Google brought up Black Rose as a suggestion. It is about 20-30 away from downtown. But after getting to the parking lot, I could tell I found the right place for a vibe. Music could be heard from outside and there was a little line of gorgeous people wanting to enter the establishment. Once in, my attention was directed to the my right where the band was getting down on making the crowd move. Turning my head back to the bar area, it was people wrap around it. Continuing on there were people in booths, at all the high tables, and just sprinkled throughout the lounge. Though it was a mixed crowd, you could tell it was an Ethiopian heaven. It was really a good energy felt amongst everyone. Couple things I will say is that though I like loud music, It was extremely loud to the point, I went outside to the seating area to finish enjoying my drink and vibing out. Other thing that bothered me was the cleanliness of the bathroom. I'll that it that and move on. The bartenders were not only extremely gorgeous they made some strong drinks. I mean, make you look up at them like "what the heck, you made that drink!" It was free to get in, staff was quick on taking orders, it was a vibe. I highly recommend Black Rose if in the D.C. area.

    I give it stars for the live band and the hookah. I was not happy with the drinks. I ordered wood…read morefor reserved neat which I had been drinking all night already plus this is what I drink at home. I don't know what whiskey they brought me but what it was, it was not woodford. I would have preferred they tell me they don't have it than to give me something else. I hope they didn't expect me not to notice. Thanks but no thanks. I ended up just drinking beer since that can't be swapped. The Service itself was very good. Security was nice. Hookah service was on point. I went out on my bday to get drunk. Still, I left kinda sober. I did have fun though!

    Don't not go to this establishment! My cousin brought me here early Saturday morning. My car was…read moretowed. The tow company is allowed to tow because they are open and serving alcohol ILLEGALLY!!! And it's probably because I have MD tags because there were certainly other cars there, even my friends. When I showed up the next day to try to get this resolved, the manager by the name of "LuLu" even admitted it that they are open illegally! I tried speaking with her and the owner and they both said it. So, I'm going to resolve this legally thru ABC of VA, Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affair, etc! I have receipts from the alcohol sales and everything. They are not supposed to be open or serve alcohol after 2am!

    I usually wouldn't give a spot I've been to multiple times one star, but I have no choice but to do…read moreso today. The experience I had today was absolutely disgusting. I came here to chill and have a hookah with no drinks. There was a random guy (who might be homeless) sitting next to me who ordered three drinks, and then offered me one of the drinks. I accepted the drink, laughingly, because he clearly offered it to me being drunk. However, at the end of the night, I was the charged for ALL THREE of the drinks that the guy bought. When I told the bartender that I did not buy ANY of the drinks, she told me that I did when I absolutely did not. The only thing I talked to her about was my hookah and to refill the coals on it. Paying for the drinks isn't a problem, but for me to be unnecessarily charged for something I did not purchase is not ok and disgusting for a business to do. I can't get with that kind of shady business from this establishment. To the bartender, do better and represent the damn business with integrity. Because what I experienced this evening was absolutely not that. I won't be back and wouldn't recommend this place anyone looking for a worthwhile hookah spot to visit.
