Over the past few months, Tiki has become one of my favorite places to drop by!…read more Although it's always been a cool lil' spot with an awesome staff of bartenders, ever since the renovations the vibes got vibier! Between the lighting being a little lower and the TVs being removed, it's made music more of a central part of the atmosphere. I've dropped by a few times to experience some amazing DJs! It's also nice because you can come in dressed up or dressed down and no matter what you won't feel out of place. Additionally, the drinks are so good! But be aware - some of them are stronger than you may realize. My favorite drink to order at the moment is the Pandan Painkiller. I can only drink just one though since it tastes like a vacation and a sippable dessert all in one! Also - I gotta shout out Ademir and Adrian! They are both so kind, fun and really take care of their folks. If you have been here, but not recently be sure to give it another spin in the near future!

My first time here was a bit confusing, we had a reservation and walked up the stairs to the…read moreentrance and the door was locked so we were confused. So we're getting ready to leave and only then realize there's also a basement door. If you come from downhill, you don't pass the basement door first so you don't see it. They should have a sign upstairs indicating entrance is downstairs. They offer guests public wifi? I'm sorry I don't know a single restaurant in DC that does this, every single one has a password. Public wifi isn't safe. I've been here twice now, first time they were out of the Dirty Banana. Second visit I sat at the bar and ordered it but they don't make it in front of you, it's made off in the back kitchen even though they have a blender on the counter and wall of liquor. It's a frozen drink made with Jamaican run, kahlua, baileys, banana puree, and dole soft serve vanilla. Took me an hour to drink it, it was so strong! Sitting at the basement bar somehow smells like a toilet even though it's at the back of the bar. The front door is open to the street so it's not cool from a/c in the middle of the bar. By 10:30pm music is cranked up. Bill has 20% tip auto included.

This place goes hard with the tiki drinks, and they have their own room, Thrashers Rum. It's cool that you can sample any that you might be interested in. Since they were five of us, we just decided to share one of their bowls, which is not food... One of those giant drinks. It was sweet as I expected, but the room was definitely in there. Not bad for a bowl at all! It happened to be the brunch bowl of the week. Speaking of brunch, they have brunch all day on Sundays which is awesome. It was like 7:00 p.m. and I got a tiki breakfast platter. I enjoyed it! My friend got chicken and ube waffles which looked great, he was kind of enough to give a piece of the ube waffle and it was awesome. And it's cool that the place has multiple levels and it was just a vibe. It's on the tail end of the wharf towards the seafood market, so it kind of stands on its own. I would definitely go back, it was perfect for people watching haha.

The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and the food is consistently amazing. Jenny is wonderful, and we always love seeing Ms. Lin and Mr. Foo They truly make you feel like family. The hospitality is just as impressive as the food. Honestly, I've never had a single dish there that I didn't like. Everything we've tried has been delicious, which just makes me excited to keep working our way through the menu and discover even more favorites. Such a fantastic spot -- we'll definitely keep coming back.

And our table was not cleaned that well before we arrived. But excellent food trumps those issues.

I ordered lunch from here earlier this week and unfortunately, I really don't understand the hype…read more I ordered the Pad See Ew, and it was probably some of the worst Thai food I've had. The dish seriously lacked flavor, and the egg wasn't properly broken up or incorporated into the noodles. Instead, there were basically two large chunks of egg in the dish. I also specifically asked for extra sauce and was willing to pay for it, but they very clearly did not add any extra sauce. I ended up throwing it away after only a few bites. I will say the rocket shrimp rolls were very good, and the sauce that came with them was also really good. They were easily the best part of the meal. That said, Pad See Ew is a pretty standard Thai dish and something most Thai restaurants easily nail, so I was surprised by how disappointing this was. Overall, definitely not a good experience and not somewhere I'd order from again.

I enjoyed brunch on the patio on an 83-degree day, and the setup was surprisingly comfortable…read more There were fans throughout the patio, and I didn't break a sweat or even need to use my portable fan. Service was okay at times, and other times exceptional, though it seemed like there may have only been one waiter covering the entire patio. I did the bottomless brunch, which included orange juice or pomegranate. The orange juice was definitely the better option for me. The Champagne Sunrise also came with a drop of pomegranate. Shoutout to our waiter. I liked that the mimosas are not pre made and you can pour to your liking. For food, I had the Charley Burger with a sunny-side-up egg, and it was pretty good. I also tried the steak, which was decent. All of the food was good, but I was especially surprised by how much I enjoyed the potato cakes and gravy. I'd definitely recommend trying them. One thing to be aware of is that a wellness fee is automatically added to the bill. Overall, it was a nice spot especially if you can sit on the patio.

Look, there are plenty of good things about Bar Charley that make it a staple in Dupont. The space…read moreis nice, there's a ton of bar seating, and the bottomless brunch is a good deal. Everyone working here is nice and the service is quick. We started by splitting an order of the beignets, which I don't think are all that good. They're on the smaller side, which isn't a problem, but they weren't fluffy at all. They were crispy on the outside, but the inside was close to hollow, so you don't get the experience that you expect with a traditional beignet. I ordered the farm egg omelette and a pomegranate mimosa, both of which were solid. Nothing stood out, except for the potato cake, which was crispy and not as dense as I thought it would be.

When I got there, almost everyone seemed to have arrived as a couple or in a group, and I was like... why did I come here?! The server and bartender were both nice, as were the people walking into the bar at the entrance. I started to feel more comfortable, especially once I took in the dark, cool ambiance. The woman making batches of cocktails right in front of me was kind of mesmerizing, too. I went with the house dirty martini, infused with truffles. You could taste a subtle hint of truffle, which made it feel a little more special without being overwhelming. 600 T is cozy and artistic, with a low-key atmosphere where you can mind your own business, but if you want to talk, you still can. You don't have to, though.

It's a cocktail that clearly gets attention from the bartenders rather than being an afterthought on the menu. The setting adds to it -- a cozy, subterranean speakeasy vibe with a wood-burning fireplace, exposed lighting, and a jazz soundtrack that makes it feel like a proper night out rather than just a bar stop. Great spot for a date night or a low-key evening with friends. Solid pick if you're in Shaw and want a well-crafted cocktail in a space with real character.

The cocomotion was genuinely one of my favorite rum drinks I have tried in dc and is perfectly worth the hype it has gotten. I would be interested to go back and try some of their other drinks as well. It seems like they also have nice happy hour specials, so I will be back to test that out too. There seemed to be a birthday party or something happening in the back room when I went, so it was pretty crowded. I think the front room has some great spaces to sit, as well as a bar along one of the other walls to rest a drink on while talking to people. My main feedback is that it could use a little more seating, but overall is very fun and easy to mingle.

The graphic design of the menu is also really cool. This restaurant is a vibe. The music is soooo good here. Upstairs/inside had punk rock and downstairs/outside had R&B. The service was a bit strange outside, but fine overall. If you want indoor seating you'll go upstairs to their bar. If you want to sit in their outside covered patio, you'll continue past the bathrooms and down some more stairs. They have gender neutral single stall restrooms here. We came here after the US v. Australia World Cup game and had a blast. I loved my mojito. My husband and our friend really liked their masterson and four corners drink. We family styled a few dishes. I loved what we ordered.
