  A small group of West Africans and I were looking for a place to go on a Friday night, maybe have a few beers, listen to some African music, and do a little dancing.  We read a review here that said Friday night was African night, so we thought we'd check it out.  
  
  Well, there were no other Africans in the place, no African music, and $5 Tecate.  We quickly moved on.  
  
  This may well be a good dive bar choice for Latinos in the neighborhood, but there is NOT an African night on Friday.

  I have been to this place a couple of times because i live right around the corner...yes it is a latin bar...it is a dive bar...the food is actually pretty good for a dive bar, the prices are not expensive but they are not cheap...the bathrooms were clean which i respect....all shots are $10...i think that is the strange part.....i started off with jose cuervo and realized that i could get parton and GM for the same price....  service was actually good, they made sure i had what i needed and cleaned up after every shot....
  
  if you are looking for a latin spot (98 percent of the people don't speak english including the servers/bartenders)
  
  decent food, and bachatta or reaggeton  then this is your latin dive bar

  Serengeti suffers from schizophrenia.  The owner is Kenyan, and they may once have drawn a large African crowd, but that's now relegated to Friday's African night.  Despite its name and the murals of African wildlife painted on the walls leading up to the second floor, Serengeti nowadays caters primarily to a Latin clientele.  The entrance on Georgia Ave is easy to miss and leads you down to a poorly ventilated basement bar.  The upstairs has another bar and dance floor, but is only open on weekends.  On a recent visit, while service was good, the room was sparsely furnished with three or four female "servers" sitting at the end of the bar.  The menu is standard Salvadorian/Mexican fare, as are most of the bottled beers (no drafts).  A Modelo Especial was $5 which doesn't even qualify it for cheap dive bar status!
