    *Happy Hour Review* Visited during happy hour on Memorial Day. They offer happy hour (even on a holiday). Woot! This location is where the old Chi'bal used to be (for a point of reference). I never made it to the business that was here after Chi'bal. I really like the decor and vibe in here! They have a good selection of tequila. I got a margarita, and it was good. Service was on point. The bartenders were engaging and friendly. From their soocial media, it seems like it's poppin' on the weekends - DJ and all! I will be back soon to sit on the patio and enjoy the summer vibes! Cheers!

    I saw a viral video of "Salsa Bravo" Let me start by saying Im a HUGE FAN of SALSA Salsa the condiment and Salsa Music and add a twist of Urban ...so I have high expectations. I know this place was once Chibal (excelent food and service) then it became El Carbonero (not that great) i think it just Carbonero with a "urban" marketing theme So when I come in and they are playing a "Dj Adonis Bachata Mix" ...Im already like wtf. I was there a good 30-45mins NO SALSA MUSIC I asked the server shes like we play a little bit if everything. No complimentary Chips....NO SALSA I ordered the Sliders....they were burnt and no special or extraordinary Salsa with them. My Drink was good but nothing crazy. Still on the hunt for the Best Michelada.. The couple next to me was not too happy about their dessert. Not sure what they ordered.

    The food was good. The drinks were good The customer service was great. It wasn't busy at all. The inside was very nice with artwork on the walls, decorations hanging from the ceiling There was music playing which wasn't too loud. They have a bar area and tvs throughout the restaurant. I think I would.go back again to try other items on their menu. Also, there is outdoor seating.

    We ordered the steak, shrimp, and chicken fajitas, they were just okay. However, the service was great, and the drinks were delicious. Overall, a decent experience with standout service and beverages.

    And let's talk about the piña colada--hands down one of the best I've ever had.

    I went to Salsa Brava last night and the food was absolutely exceptional. I had the salmon topped with shrimp, served with perfectly seasoned vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes. Every bite was bursting with bold, delicious flavor. And let's talk about the piña colada--hands down one of the best I've ever had. Smooth, refreshing, and made to perfection. Overall, an amazing dining experience from start to finish. The service was a solid 10/10: attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish. The ambiance was clean, stylish, and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a great night out. Overall, an unforgettable dining experience that I'll definitely be returning for.

    Tacos Michelin - Taste of 3 different tacos - worth every bite!! Loved the spice!

    We were passing through on our way to Myrtle Beach and since we hit major traffic outside of DC we decided to stop and eat dinner. When I first picked this spot I told my husband never mind because of the few reviews and not all 5 stars. But of course hubby said let's the try it... and glad we did. It wad right up my alley. The spice and flavor was out of this world, if you are more into bland food ... then keep it moving... but if you love flavor and some spice then make sure you try it!! I would definitely come back!! The service was also on top of everything'.

The Hideout has been around for years, so if you know, you know! The prices are pricing, and y'all know I love a good deal. Friday and Saturday nights tend to be the busiest, but it's also a cool spot to stop by during the week after work. Karaoke is five nights a week--every night except Tuesday and Thursday--and happy hour is Monday through Friday from 3-7 p.m., with discounted wings, sliders and drinks. And for my sugar babies looking for their next piece of sugar, you might want to check them out too. You know they got moniesssss out Howard County! Now, distance-wise, this one might not be for everybody. It's on the Howard County side of Laurel, so if you know your tags are dead, don't come--you will get bagged! #dmvrestaurants #laurelmd #dmvnightlife #karaokenight #foodtiktok

The energy level is high, with pool tables through out and sports talk in abundance ( definitely a great environment to watch a game !! ) I sat at the bar area and was greeted with respect and professionalism. The bartenders here are awesome and they come with wicked pours.... Yes !!! Drinks here are absolutely on point and not for the faint of heart. Now what floored me, was how good the chicken tenders were ( which is the dish I opted for ) I'm talking best ever tenders talk for sure... not too greasy, but crispy, tender with the perfect sauce. And the fries were seasoned to perfection ( like... really good ! ) I'm already planning a cool Football Sunday outing during the season here... See you soon Hideout !!! FYI: the 5-stars are very fitting when you compare this spot to others in the same category ( cool, down to earth, lively with a lot of moving pieces and lit !! )

If you love onions you'll enjoy the onion crumble on this burger. A good balance of flavors and well worth the try. Parmesan fries also had roasted garlic so it was a big "Yes" for me! My husband got the jailbreak burger which was also a big crowd pleaser. To the right they have a full bar to try their different beers. A great spot to take your friends for after work drinks and eats. They even have a cozy lounge area to relax. Plenty of seating and great service. The staff was ready and willing to help and cleared off our tables for us. The tab system makes it easy to move from room to room so you don't have to worry, it's easy to add drinks and food as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Will definitely recommend for a relaxed atmosphere where you can watch games and also enjoy lively conversation. Better than a sports bar for food AND drinks.

The bar has a nice buzz about it but isn't overly crowded. This a bar which seats 10ish guests, plenty of 4top seating, and a pool table in the main area of the bar. There is also outdoor picnic style seating set up outside; it seems like that outdoor seating is sometime available but also sometimes not (maybe depending on the weather or what staff is available). The food is solid; I've had the old bay wings, clam strips, and fries. My girlfriend really loved the clamstrips (and that's saying something because she's had so many from different spots). The wings were good but not the best I've ever had. We got mostly well drinks on our most recent visit; they were all well made and were at a great price point. I'll gladly come back for the laid back vibes, simple food and drink offerings, and friendly service

They have great selection for their lunch special with really good prices! I couldn't decide between wings or shrimp so I got both and I was not disappointed!

I hear they have a great happy hour as well so I plan on going back to see what that's like. Oh they have a a few pool tables in there too!

It's become our little tradition, and we always have a good time. Typically, this place is PACKED for the game, and over the years I've had mixed experiences with the service. Sometimes things move along pretty smoothly, and other times it can be a little chaotic--long waits for food, mix-ups with orders, having to ask for things more than once, etc. But yesterday was different, and I have to give them credit where credit is due! I arrived around 4 p.m., right around the end of one server's shift, and we ended up getting a new server named Maria. She was GREAT. She was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Our food came out quickly, our requests were handled promptly, and when I asked for the check, it came right out. We never had to sit around wondering where our food or server was. Everything was orderly and efficient, which was a major improvement from some of my previous experiences. And of course...the EAGLES WON! So that definitely helped make it a good day! I do have a couple of things I think Looney's could improve. First, the TVs. I understand that there are multiple football games happening, but considering we're in the DMV and this is a Commanders/Eagles matchup, I would expect the game to be on the majority of the screens. That wasn't really the case. There was also tennis on at one point, which my mom was enjoying, but it was switched off before the match was even finished. I think they could do a better job of balancing what games are being shown, especially during major matchups. I was also a little confused by the ID/stamping situation. When I first arrived, I wasn't asked for my ID; I was simply given a stamp. I'm not sure what the stamp was for or whether I was supposed to receive one, so I was a little unclear about the purpose. I don't mind following the rules at all--I just wasn't sure what the process was supposed to be. And the bathrooms could definitely use a little more attention in the cleanliness department. Overall, though, we had a good experience this time around. The atmosphere was fun, the crowd wasn't nearly as overwhelming as it has been in previous years, and most importantly, Maria was on it! The food and service are a huge part of the experience at a sports bar, and yesterday was definitely a step up from some of the experiences I've had in the past. We'll be back next year for our annual Eagles/Commanders tradition. Hopefully the Eagles will be bringing another W with them!
