I'm so glad I took a chance on this place! Â The outside does look a little sketchy but I'm finding that In DC, that's usually a good sign! Â The bartenders are attentive and friendly and the food and drinks are great and very reasonably priced; even the patrons are super cool (myself included). Â I've never sat at the bar without striking up a conversation with the person next to me.
Don't come here if you're looking for fancy cocktails or a DJ but it's definitely a good time.
It saddens me to know that I've lived within 3 blocks of this place for the past 6 months and my first time going in was last night. With that being said, I LOVED the Looking Glass Lounge, and I consider myself a tough bar critic! The bartender Amir (sp?) was so cute and paid attention to exactly what we wanted. The wings were great and cheap ($5 wings on Sundays)... They have GREAT specials everyday! Kudos!
I definitely see myself becoming a regular here!
