As part of a bachelorette party we stopped at Patty's for some drinks and dancing. It was a great time. 20 plus women winding it up on the dance floor - it was a sight to see. We had a great time (music and vibe). Didn't have the food as this was part of our bar hopping. So I need to check it out again.
Review Source:The line was dumb. Once I got it, I was like "what is the line for?" I was asked to pay cover when the folks before us didn't pay. I am not about cover, so that annoyed me already. The first floor was empty but he upstairs was kinda packed. They really need to make it less crowded upstairs by playing music on the first floor as well. The music was good. They really need speaks on the first floor (it will also increase revenue for them).
Review Source:The drinks really make this place. This is the second week in a row where I was able to enjoy some tasty rum  cocktails (last week was Hogo). The difference is that the concoctions here are simple yet still tasty. The white punch and the red punch (I can't be bothered with the actual names) are both tasty but the dark and stormy is where it's at. At $8 a drink they definitely provide a good bang for the buck.
By the time we left, around 11:30, Â the crowd hadn't really filtered in yet but the DJ was already playing some great reggae tunes. I'd definitely be excited to come back and get some dancing in. Perhaps after a few more rum punches!
I've only been to Patty Boom Booms once.. not to sure if I would go back again. Â
3 reasons why I wouldn't go back:
1 - Long a$$ line to get in (but where on U street isn't there a long line)
2 - WAY WAY too crowded
3 - Bar staff and door guys were rude
The only good thing about this place was the rum drinks.. Â so good! Â and the music was okay
Every time I'm in DC for the weekend, I make sure to hit up Patty Boom Boom. The $8 rum punches are tasty but will knock you right out if you have enough of them. Shout out to the handsome bartenders on the upper level, and to the DJ who does a great job of throwing classics into the mix (Pass the Dutchie came on last Sat. night & the floor went crazy!!)
Negative: some of the men that come here are very, VERY pushy. I don't know if it's a cultural thing, but when a woman rejects your offer to dance, that doesn't mean keep on trying until they run away from you. No means no!
When you get in, go upstairs. Â Don't sit downstairs. Â
We went to Patty Boom Boom on a Friday evening and the cover charge was $5. Â The DJ was on fiyah playing some great reggae music and the rum punches were on point! Â We had a great time listening to music and drinking rum. Â Be mindful that the later it gets, the place gets packed and you will not have any 'private space' so don't even bother asking for it.
I love U Street!!!
This place is great. I came here last night with Tara L. and her friend for some late night fun. I was swinging my hips to the music while sipping on my vodka cranberry. Drinks are good. The venue is a two stories with a dance floor on the second level along with the DJ.
When we first arrived the DC was spinning old hip hop and eventually turning to reggae as time went on. Patty Boom Boom's is known for the reggae. My friends and I tried to come here once before, but the chaos of U Street on a Saturday totally prohibited that.
I'd say this is probably classified more as a dive bar than anything. It isn't upscale or anything. They keep it simple with one objective in mind -- for everyone to have a great time. I sure did and I can't wait to go back!
I loved this place, but can someone please tell me if this place closed down?
I tried to go to Patty Boom Boom last night and the lights were off and doors were locked, but they should've been open from what their hours were advertised as! I'll be pretty bummed if it's truly shut down.
Anyways, if it's still open and you're into reggae music then Patty Boom Boom is the place to go. Upstairs is pretty small but that shouldn't phase you. Drinks are fairly cheap, Â on weekends there's a $10-15 cover for guys. If you're hungry they serve meat patties downstairs which are pretty damn food.
This place was a big let down and it started at the door. We went by on Saturday night because the birthday girl was looking forward to checking it out -- I should have looked at the Yelp reviews to let everyone know we were stepping into a reggae club because from the look on everyone's face, nobody was ready for that when we got there.
Also -- $15 for guys on a Saturday night is just rediculous? Who are you trying to keep out at such a small place with weak drinks and that is reggae? With a $15 cover you expect more then a bad bourbon and ginger ale -- and more room then what you were going to have there. Also -- the environment was just not what you want for a dance club when you walk in. Too many people and bouncers standing at the top of the stairs -- you want to feel welcome and instead I felt like I was being checked out before I got inside.
Even though we payed the cover, we were quick to leave along with the rest of our 10 person group. Thanks -- we won't be going back.
I came here on a Saturday night with friends. Luckily, I got there early because I had no idea how crowded the place gets. The music was top notch, although I wished they had focused more on the high energy dance-hall reggae (especially from the 90's) that really gets the crowd moving. They were playing mostly slower roots reggae which requires a dance partner, but the place turns into a virtual sausage party. I saw a lot of "Sword Fighting" for dance partners amongst the men that were there. The music was great, and I really loved the non pretentious vibe that has permeated many other venues in the city since DC went through "The Change". I would have given it a 5 but it got so crowded that we couldn't even move, it had to be against fire code. Also, speed it up, more beats per minute. I didn't taste the patties so I can't speak on them.
Review Source:the music was rally good only down side about that is wen there's good music u wanna dance but how can you dance when there is no space to .......  it was jammmmed packed extremely over crowded  which i don't get why when there's two floors  other than that  the music was awesome.
Review Source:So let's start with the wall of rum specials upstairs. There is a full bar, but specials are basically rum punch white, rum punch gold, rum punch brown, or dark and stormy. They had me at hello.
The place is tiny, but it is fun and the music's great. I got there early enough to see the club progress from a random collection of 5 people to "ohh crap it's hot and why can't I see anything?!?!" Â Needless to say I had a good time. And I ended my night there with a meat patty. Please and thank you!
This is a FUN dancehall! Easily, the best place on U Street (and one of the best in DC) for dancing. Everything here is about West Indian Culture that aims to please anyone who likes to just have FUN!!! If you like to sit in your chair and people watch, stand around with your friends, drink beer and socialize, and try to walk out feeling neat and tidy.....then go to Marvin around the corner. BUT, if you love to dance in a steamy hot room full of slow whinin, great reggae, decently priced drinks, and a fun atmosphere...you've come to the right place!!!
Come before 10:30 to beat the cover at the door!! It's slow and quiet early on, but the place quickly fills up after that. You come here for the patties, music, dance, and the punch!
Went with my friend on a Friday night. Â It was ok. Â the patties are not all that but take this from a west indian, I have had way better. Â The drinks are strong so you get value for your money. Â The music is all west indian but it was mostly culture music, not too much soca or dancehall. Â When they did play soca, it was only for like 1 minute. Â And ladies, if you don't like men all of a sudden appearing on your butt with a grind then do not go. Â This place is full of em'. Â
All and all, I would go again, cover is free, it has a nice vibe to it.
I came here with a date and had an incredibly awesome night! Â We arrived early, had some rum punches downstairs, and then danced upstairs until we were soaked in sweat and hungry. Â Then we went back downstairs to grab some patties so we could drink and dance some more. Â
My overall impression was that Patty Boom Boom had all the essentials: Â the music was on point, the staff was friendly, the crowd was laid back and the drinks weren't too expensive.
Oh man, I am in love! Sometimes, you just want to get a little likka in you and groove to some reggae all night! Timerhis used to be my spot for that, but a younger/rough crowd got hold of it and they started playing...wait for it...go-go! I don't know if that was a fluke, but I haven't been back since. Now, I have nothing against go-go, but when I am in the mood for some reggae, it is the last thing I want to hear.
I went to this place after being disappointed by another spot in DC, so I was a little overdressed. Next time, I am wearing flats and getting it in! However, the dress and crowd was very diverse. What I really like about this spot, aside from the fact that it is free for ladies, is that it plays Roots Culture reggae as well as dancehall.
Finally, I was not impressed by the dry and tasteless beef patties. I was really excited that they had a jerk chicken beef patty among other varieties, but they might want to try a new recipe. They tasted more like empanadas.
With a name like Patty Boom Boom it's got to be good! Â I will preface this review with a small caveat... this spot is not for everyone! If you want to have a drink with your friends or a date and chat... this is not the place for you. Â If you want house music or top 40... this is not the place for you. Â If, however, you want dance until you are soaked in sweat with a bunch of strangers throwing down to dancehall reggae, this is the holy grail. Â
My sister was a reggae dj in the islands for a while, and I remember how much i loved the local dancehall spots she would take me too. Â Patty Boom Boom is as close to that same vibe I've seen stateside. Â Â
A couple of tips: Â 1. Check your coat. Â 2. Get a drink in a bottle... you will spill anything else. Â 3. Â Head to the downstairs bar and bathroom instead of trying to fight the crowds upstairs.
Love Patty boom boom. Â Not going to repeat what others have said but quick tips:
If you love dancing come here.
If you hate crowds do NOT come here (or go out on U Street for that matter).
Do not use your credit card here. Â Much easier and less complicated with cash.
Thank goodness for the water coolers on the side!
If you love reggae and dancehall and want to only hear reggae and dancehall come here.
If you want to sit down and bob your head do NOT come here. Â Hardly any seating.
If you don't like to sweat definitely do NOT come here.
If you don't mind dancing with complete strangers, men constantly looking for dance partners, and dudes randomly pop up behind you as if you want to dance with them then come here.
If you like to wine up yuh waist come here.
I was so excited to visit a reggae bar when I was in DC. The drink wasn't bad, a bit expensive but not bad. The bar though, apparently has a collection of credit and debit cards from their guests. The bartender asked for mine, I didn't realize that I didn't get it back. After one drink and checking out the dance floor upstairs for a few minutes, I left not realizing I forgot my card. It's not like the place was packed, it was early and there were less than 10 people in the bar, there was just no mention of my card.
When I realized it was missing the next morning, I called frantically to see what I could do before I had to get on the plane back home. They even have an option on their voice mail to press "3" if you left your credit card. The number goes to a recording. After leaving a message, I also called many times and never did get a live person. They never did call back so when I got home, I had to request a new card from my bank and was without my primary debit card for more than a week.
The whole thing was so frustrating that I'd never recommend this place.

BUMBLAKAH TO EH PATTEH BOOM BOOM!
Haha I love this place! Â I admit I am a spiffy guy during the day but when my friends want to go late night dancing and I mean not top 40.. we go BOOM BOOM FOR EH GOODEH GOOD TIME WIT PATTEH! Â You can never go wrong with this place on the weekends unless you're shy and don't like reggae. Â Then things could get awkward for you once stepping inside haha. Â One of the only few places in DC to have dancehall and reggae play nonstop until close. Â The room will get crowded upstairs so be prepared to sweat your beef patty off. Â I would recommend starting off the night with a few drinks next door at Lost Society and then stepping into PATTEHS WORLD!
Music: Reggae / Dance Hall
Drinks: Affordable / Pre-game beforehand
Crowd: Patty's Peeps
I seriously have no idea what percentage of my discretionary income goes to Patty Boom Boom (aka "The Boom" or "Booms" as my friends and I have affectionately named it.)
One thing I do know is that if I'm going to blow money on booze, there is no better place that I'd rather spend it in DC than here.
Patty's has pretty much evolved into the default place that my friends and I turn to week in and week out, whether it's to start the night or end it or just keep the night moving.
If you're a Boom Boom amateur (or sober) I'd recommend you show up early. On Friday or Saturday night, a line forms down the street before midnight and it's a monster. Thursdays are a little slow, but you'll have plenty of space to chill, so it may be a good night to drop by with a larger group. The music will be hittin' no matter what.
While the incredibly strong drinks, the random ass crowd and the best reggae in town keeps me coming back, it's really the people that work here that are the glue that keeps my loyalty at one hunnit. (For those of you that are not hip, that means one hundred, as in 100%...as in proper.) Because I'm loyal to them, they're loyal to me and always make the effort to look out, whether it be at the door or at the bar. It is also one of the few places in DC that I feel comfortable letting loose a little bit  - they won't judge. (Just don't start no proooooblems.)
Ladies, do not get a fresh blow out before coming here on the weekends. That money will be a waste, since you will walk out with your hair looking extremely suspect and just a faint memory of what it was before The Boom.
Men (shoot, and some women for that matter) good hygiene is your friend. And  YOUR good hygiene is my BEST friend.
This place has been raved by yelpers as the best club in DC. My family is from the islands and Caribbean people know how to lime and ting. Patty Boom Boom is a restaurant during the day and a nightclub at night. At both times they serve food and their specialties are the patties that range from chicken, beef, veggie, goat etc. They are delicious so definitely grab one even if you don't prefer the nightlife.
NOW. the night life.
- There is ALWAYS a line for Patty Boom Boom so expect a wait
- They play the best reggae and dancehall music in DC
- People actually DANCE here and well!
- The dancing room is upstairs in a small area, so expect to get hot and sweaty, but you'll have the time of your life
- There is a bar upstairs where they offer their specialty drinks (rum punch & ting), but don't expect a full bar.
- Surprisingly there can be a mixed crowd. DC itself is very diverse, but it doesn't make what your background is if you like to dance and party you'll have a great time
Where to start... Let's just say I met Patty and her Boom Boom and it changed my life.
Let me just preface this review by saying I'm a really white guy. Â And this place isn't... which is why I loved it. Â I'm so used to white bread Northern VA that going a place like this is so much fun and completely like stepping into another world. Â You come up the stairs and it's like Dirty Dancing - Kingston style. Â I was so excited when I got in that I skipped the Patty and went straight to the Boom Boom so no review on the meat offerings...
The $10 cover allows you entrance and 1 square foot on the dance floor to shake it reggae style. Â Going to the bar to get a tasty rum drink is like playing a jigsaw puzzle, but with people to get them to move. Â When the previous reviews say that it's packed tightly, they aren't kidding. Â The energy is infectious however.
This is a good 2 AM spot...you're probably a little tipsy by then, you're ready to dance and you just want to throw down on a dance floor. Â That's how I feel at 2 AM at least. Â This really is a place where you can lose yourself to the music, which is what's so fun about it. Â I kinda wish the music was more reggae-ish as I know reggae, but what do I know, I'm a cracker.
Overall, get ready to get sweaty, but it's a blast!
If you don't enjoy going to an overly crowded place, grinding with total strangers ALL night, and sweating off your make-up,  then Patty Boom Boom is NOT for you. Don't get me wrong, I don't enjoy losing my favorite hair style to club humidity in the winter time, but it is worth it. The mix of dancehall, reggae, and ska  keeps my body moving. Cardio workout ;)The energy and vibe is insane!!!!
I am ALWAYS guaranteed to have a damn good time despite the fact that it is small and sweaty...Even after going to other clubs in the area, I somehow find myself here by the end of the night. Â Interestingly, I have been here over ten times and haven't gotten a drink (except Ting, a grapefruit soda), but my sister loves the fact that her drinks are always strong.
Patty Boom Boom isn't for everyone!
It's small, it's hot, it's sweaty but most importantly it's a pretty good party.
The best things about Patty Boom Boom are that people are there to party. The music is lively, the people are energetic and the vibe is hype. If you're looking to party and when I say party, I mean be engaged and in the middle of a sea of people all grooving to the same beat then this is the place for you. If you want to stand around or sit down or be chill and comfortable then you better find another place because Patty Boom Boom isn't for you.
Another great thing about Patty Boom Boom is the rum punch, when I say a drink is the truth just take my word for it. I don't know which one of the punches I had because they have a variety and I basically pointed at someone else's drink and said give me one of those but whatever it was it was made right. I don't know what they mix the rum with but I do know it isn't much. Had to be about 93% rum and 7% mixer and that is just the kind of combination I'm looking for.
The worst thing about Patty Boom Boom is the horrible male to female ratio; I counted at least 4 or 5 to 1 in dudes over women. So it turns the place into Serengeti, where all men are a pack of hyenas looking for that one female prey to pounce on. Dudes if you're dancing with a girl at least 5 other guys will watch you waiting for the second you step away from her so they can hop on her in your place. With that said dudes this might not be the best place to bring your girlfriend unless you enjoy her being eye banged and possible dry humped by every dude in the place.
Ladies be careful here because there is a 97% chance you're going get molested or harassed by some random dude who is way too aggressive and doesn't understand that if a girl is dancing alone and you come up behind her and start grinding on her and she stops dancing, it means she doesn't want to dance with you, it doesn't mean grind harder on her now motionless body.
If you like rum, reggae and a small slice of Jamaica in the middle of U Street then Patty Boom Boom is a place to be. If you don't keep it moving.
Awesome place for dancing. Fun music, delish drinks, and the crowd's energy is contagious.
However, ladies, prepare to be accosted by aggressive prowling men. They unfortunately love this place too. They forego the usual nicety of asking a woman to dance and just grab her instead.
I'm tolerant and usually brush this off. But the last time I went it was out of control. One guy grabbed me literally four different times, only stopping when I threatened to summon the bouncer. My girlfriends kept getting approached too, so we left early. They must have let in extra creeps that night.
But it's usually not that bad. It won't stop me from going again!
I like the patty, but I might not like the boom boom.
We rolled in here at 2am on a weekend night and the first stop I made was on the first floor to get a veggie patty, that I had heard so much about. Three dollars later, I had a warm enclosed pocket of food goodness in my hand and I poured myself some sauce. Before I could try it, someone wanted to go upstairs, so cradled my little patty and we went upstairs to the "BOOM BOOM" room.
Now upstairs was a tiny hot steamy room filled with gyrating bodies with a full bar, which is known for it's strong white and dark rum punches (I recommend the white rum punch).  Dancehall, and reggae blares from the speakers. Towards the end of the night, the music kinda winds down to the slower baby making genre (think Mad Cobra's Flex song, if you're 18 and over see this video <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEP8h3OaHM3c&s=014c986760dd368ffff2be2a8b2f1b143ed59fa0a6a191d1049c49548e463137" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>). Amidst, this wild dancing orgy, I only had one thing on my mind: PATTY.
So we find a seat by the window, people run off to get rum punches, and it's just me and patty alone. OR SO I THOUGHT.
Let me just say this is the type of place where men approach you to dance crotch first. You could be sitting down minding your own business, then suddenly a pair of gyrating hips appears in your line of vision, and the next thing you know you're pushed up against a wall, your legs crossed over his, slowly grinding the night away.
In fact before I could even take one bite of my patty, I was already being pressed against a wall by some young man who had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while (I had the same look).
I spent about four songs slowly twisting to the left and the right, making sure I had my patty in my line of vision. In fact I was keeping a closer eye on patty than I was my purse. Sometime during that whole grinding session, he manged to whisper something in spanish in my ear to which I replied with "TENGO HAMBRE". Unfortunately, now he thinks I'm hungry for him. He smiles thinking he just put the "sensual" in "nonconsensual". Only when he managed to start winding low, did I manage to bend over and reach for the patty I left on the table. Now I had four beats to finish eating the patty before he worked his way back up.
I have to admit that was a tasty patty(very similar to an empanada), and the sauce that came with it was like liquid fire. Well worth the wait, and the fact that this guy will be waking up tomorrow to find crumbs in his hair. Whatever, he should know better than to stand between a hungry girl and her patty.
A night at Patty Boom Boom is, without question, a night you will never remember... or soon forget. And, of course, it is my absolute favorite place to dance in DC.
That being said, it isn't for everyone. If you are into popped-collars and fraternity bros - don't bother, brah. If you are claustrophobic and need lots of "space" in which to dance - try going out in South Dakota. If you can't stand reggae music (hard to fathom but a legitimate concern for some) - this club is not your jam.
On the more obvious plus-side: Their rum punch is incredible (and strooong) and comes in several varieties based on the type of rum you prefer. I hear their Dark-and-Stormies were voted "Best in DC" but I have yet to try them - too busy working my way through the rum punch. The music is amazing - great rhythm, great remixes and, not surprisingly, attracts some of the more-skilled dancers in the area. True, some are aggressive but at least they have rhythm when they try to grind (unlike some other - ahem - people in DC).
And, most importantly at around 1:30am, when the copious quantities of rum punch are starting to inspire drunk-munchies, order yourself a guava goat patty. Don't worry, you can thank me later.
It was my first time...at Patty Boom Boom. If you're following me on twitter, you already know. And you also already know I find it difficult to hang with the 25-year-olds these days. That's right yelpsters I'm not 25 anymore and this ain't Kansas. But after Policy and Madhatter and Local 16, you are sort of in for it if you go to Patty Boom Boom next.
But I did. On a weeknight (Thursday). With some 25-year-olds. And had the nerve to actually drink the rum punch that somebody bought for me. Next thing I know, some guy is grabbing my hand and pulling me onto the dancefloor. Next thing I know I'm at U-Street Cardozo metro station looking at the gate which obviously (to everyone BUT me) has long since been pulled down. Groan groan.
Finally, a cab stopped for me and took me home. Next thing I know? Dam. The alarm clock was going off. Aw man. Friday at work was going to bite big time. But I made it there and made it thru. Somehow.
My first time at Patty Boom Boom was WOW! Hopefully it won't be my last...because I'm a fan.
Need to know more?
1. LIVE MUSIC ON TUE AND THURS
2. Jay's Special Rum Punch concoction..not counting calories here, plus he is super good looking! I meant, he is a great bartender! the other girls are too, but that extra calorific drink he makes (for me)...he can go to second base without him even knowing...LOL
3. Amazingly delicious Veggie Patties!...with jerk sauce on the side!!! YUMMMM your lips will tingle for about 30 minutes, but soooo worth every bite!
4. Love the music ....summer time gets SUPER HOT...anyone at Patty's management please invest on AC!
Back to the patties....Shhhhhhh I have even smuggled veggie patties into Marvin's....my friends were there and we dropped by..and yes, I shared my veggie patties and sauce...LOL...oh and just found out the patties are baked at Marvins daily!! Hahahah so that one time I guess I did not do a food code violation!...I still go to Patty's...I try not to check in anymore...
To quote the eloquent Brian B. "I love that this is one of the few places in DC where whites and blacks can actually be seen under the same roof at the same time, and that they can even get along and have a good time together."
Nicely said my friend. :P
But oh man, can I say I am a fan of anything spicy. Â I love some good Jamaican jerk chicken. Â The patties downstairs are awesome. Â And whats even greater are the sauces they have available too. Â The hot sauce is not for the faint of heart! Â It's perfectly hot for me, which means it's equivalent to the fires of hell for the average person. Â It will take a good 10-15 minutes for your mouth to cool off. Â Love it.
PS I did try the vegetarian patty and I noticed they had chick peas in it which was a nice touch from usual vegetarian items of just peppers and onions.
Praise the King of Kings, Haile Selassie-I, for being ejected from Marvin for having a recently expired license. That pretentious, overrated, and overpriced establishment is right around the corner from Patty Boom Boom, but they are worlds apart.
First I'd like to tell you that this is the most aptly named club of all time.
Downstairs there are 6 variations on the Jamaican Patty including Caribbean Vegetable, Spicy Turkey, Guava Goat, Jerk Chicken, Mild and Spicy Beef. Now you may not believe this self-proclaimed carnivore, but the gold medal belongs to the veggie. It's really the love child of an Indian samosa (filling) and a Jamaican patty (crust), and I haven't even told you the best part; you get 1 for $3 or 3 for $5.
It's a "Rhum Bar" so all of the advertised drinks have some component of Jamaican rum. I downed the following;
Wild Ting - Ting Jamaican grapefruit soda + light rum
Dark and Stormy - Gosling's ginger beer + dark rum + lime
Rum Punch with dark, gold, or light rum (too sweet and had scary fruit garnish)
Every drink I ordered was a reasonable $8, and the bartenders even fulfilled my crazy requests to 86 the ice, it was after all 25 degrees outside. Being DC, the Red Stripe Ambassador was represented in the form of the Lager's distinctive tall boys. Beer in combination with the "potpourri" helped the crowd of students from elite Northeastern colleges do exactly this...
<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dd7tRCfSuMTY&s=ea7839687ceb10ccbb4bac37ba8fbb6ef79ca6705f5d6944634a84299d81ae97" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>
Upstairs is the Boom Boom Room and it reminded me of why I loved dancehall music at middle school cotillions; the relentless and probing frotteurism. At that tender age you only knew one dance and its was the "hot dog in the bun dance" and you used it for everything...even slow songs. I wonder what kind of injuries are inflicted when soft and complicated genitalia  meet cold, hard steel with enough friction to start a fire. Ladies just make sure your birth control is current or you'll have all the "da Boom's" patrons in a line-up on this show.
<a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcoYY7V9AVPc%26feature%3Drelated&s=5fe1062095679a55c6602519c30a5dd1a33df1663eae28b84b4b01febe9e5b1e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/w…</a>
Since you never find out who the real father is, I hypothesize that those kids all belong to...Maury.
You'll be sad to leave the energetic crowd, and irie music. You won't miss the humid 90 degree temperature raised by all the dancing people, nor the scent of sweet perfume mixed with raw onion, and ball sweat. Just be careful when exiting, as the stairs are treacherous for all you medicated glaucoma patients.
In Miami dancehall clubs are in questionable neighborhoods where you can't relax because you're worried about your car or are busy getting into brawls. This club is on relatively civilized U Street, so come to Patty's with your rasclat bredren for a night filled with dining, drinking, and debauchery.
This place has good time written on its forehead.
While the downstairs patty eatery seems innocent enough, as soon as you ascend the darkened stairwell to the right the boom boom portion of the evening begins. Rhythmic reggae beats reverberate through the dancers, shaking and stepping in their own world. It's too dark to see the details but the groupings and sweaty heat made me thirsty for a drink. A dangerously strong rum punch in hand, we stood to the side and swayed and ogled and swayed some more. If I hadn't been so darn exhausted I know I would've been on that dance floor but as it was I enjoyed scoping out the mixes of sizes, shapes, colors and ages filling the main stage of the bar. Everyone was swaying and dreamily content with the booming music and chill vibe.
Patty Boom Boom is real cool trip, though I'm glad I left when I did or I might have ended up with something written on MY forehead after a few more rum punches.
Came here when a yelper suggested it and was pleasantly surprised.
Lots of reggae and dancehall. I'm from the caribbean (not jamaica though) and thought it was pretty good. My only gripe is the music went from being fantastic to somewhat boring for an extended period (maybe half hour?). Â I dont know if that was supposed to be the cooldown period or what. The only other troublesome thing is when I came it was still relatively cold outside (coat check was still open), and it was hot like hell inside. I dont know if i want to find out how hot it will get in the summer in there.. At least the ceiling is very high.
Inside was pretty crowded but only one small section had much people dancing. I'm not sure if it picked up later in the night.
I definitely recommend the rum punch which was really delicious. The patties were also great. I had a 'guava goat' patty and it really hit the spot. I liked that they had an extensive choice of patties to pick from.
