Crossroads Entertainment Complex

The Crossroads used to be the place to go for Caribbean music years ago...but not now.  This place needs a complete overhaul and a new name.  It is a pretty big venue with a whole lot of nothing going on.  I don't even know the last time I saw this place full.  It has a dark and creepy feel to it.

I went last Friday night for a friends birthday dinner.  I arrived an hour late (around 9:00) , and the food still was not served.  I ordered some jerk wings, and waited a long time.  They bought my food out with everyone elses food at around 10:30!  I could not believe it.  The food was tasty, but then again who knows.  We waited so long that we were all drunk when it arrived.  

The music is okay, and the people always look kinda sketchy.  The best part of the experience is the band that plays early on Friday nights.

DO NOT EAT HERE.  Seriously.  This place has fallen COMPLETELY OFF.  Blame the arrogant penny-pinching sexist evil new management.   It is okay to take a chance on the club that now seems to exclusively attract riff raff - but do not take a chance on the food.  EVERYONE in our party got sick.  I think as their clientele falls off, they keep the food instead of throwing it away after the expiration date.  

It is really sad that the new owners have ruined the reputation of this place - the food for one used to be delicious.  Now it is rancid and could kill you. Never mind the horrible disrespectful hostile service.

I LOVE the reggae side, but two crucial things:

1) The girl I was with FORCED me over to the hip hop side. Love the genre, not the people. Guys were EXTRA disrespectful, I'll just leave it at that. They were clearly desperate. And I'm sorry, but I come from the land of house music, where it all started. I just CAN'T get with DC's Go-go scene. ... Well, old-school Go-go is cool, but not that BS they play up in Crossroads.

2) TOO MUCH FIGHTING! If you can't party like a mature adult, then please leave your ghetto *** at home, thanks.

Needless to say, I've never been back. Such a shame, because the reggae side is awesome as far as music/DJ goes.
