Attended this weekend during the Halloween Bar Crawl. Great, if not small location with good drinks and banging music. Had a great time and would like to revisit when not so bust on a 'regular night'. Stayed here the longest of any club/bar during the crawl and had a blast. I'd recommend!

Avoid, avoid, avoid dining in the dark. It was incredibly poorly run posing multiple safety hazards with awful food. The place looked seedy upon entering, so we were worried from the start of the experience. My wife is gluten-free, which was noted in the reservation and we told the server at the beginning. Yet, they served her a flour pastry dish meant to be eaten with a fork and knife. Talk about an unbelievable fail. You're dining in the dark, so you can't tell what you're about to eat, so she didn't know until she had taken a bite. They didn't even comp her anything. She woke up the next morning not feeling well, which is worse than how she would feel if it had just been from the small bite she took, so we're pretty sure there was gluten in other food they served her. Thank goodness she doesn't have a more serious allergy! The service was terrible. It took forever to get drinks and the food. The food was really bad. Everyone at our table agreed that most of it tasted worse than if we had heated up a bunch of microwavable dinners. The darkness accentuated the bad taste. The main dish was one slice of eggplant parm, not even meat, and yet the meal somehow cost $100. We were starving by the end. Then the kicker... No one came to get you at the end of the meal and they didn't turn on the lights, so everyone needed to try to stumble through the pitch dark to get out of the eating area, which even involved maneuvering over steps and around metal bars. Insane! This dinner is a total scam and safety hazard! Avoid for your health!

Read the reviews before you go. $20 per person cover charged for a completely empty venue. The only people in there were the staff. No one was dancing or grooving, everyone on their phones taking snaps for the gram. I understand charging a cover if it’s bumpin, but if there’s no party there should be no cover. Seems like a front for laundering cause how else could they afford pay all that staff to fake a party?

Please READ the review!!! My friend and I went to this club and it was very empty! The only people presents were the employees. They charged $20 per a person only for the place to empty on Halloween weekend. One thing we should have done was to READ the reviews first. I wish I could give a negative ten star.

I was just there on Sunday and bottle, girls bad they don’t even know customer service means all they care about is taking bottle out and u want me to tip u is crazy, please work on that but everything was good also the dj littt

Wish I could give less than 1 star. Horrible place. Bouncers are rude and the club is awful. Would 100% blame on bouncers judgement!!

DON’T GO To THE ABIGAIL! As Howard Students we decided to patronize a local black venue. We arrived in a group of 12, 5 gentlemen and 7 ladies. Security let the first 2 ladies in for free. From there, the night went down hill. Although we arrived while the venue was still empty, the older gentleman at security decided after the 2 ladies, “everybody is paying $20.” When we asked if we could use a card or if they had an atm, we were directed to the bank across the street. One member of the group pointed out how the policy makes no sense, if we have to pay, there should be a way to pay on site. We were told at that point, “you don’t have to come in then.” The policy felt sketchy and very discretionary. Please patronize black venues, however save your money, time, and energy. DON’T GO TO THE ABIGAIL!

Everything was good until the DJ. Honestly, pregame before you get here for brunch. They don't pay attention to the customers or what they want to here. Managers and staff take your request and throw them away. The music is so bad it throws you off and makes you want to go to the bar and drink your sorrows away. So! Pre game before you get here so you can ignore how bad the music is.

TOTAL SCAM. DO NOT COME HERE. They advertise "open bar Fridays" IT'S A LIE. They are only willing to give you a ticket for ONE free drink. On top of that, we came on a night where they randomly claimed "we have a special dj and aren't giving free drinks" and refused to give us our free drinks. The bar is empty, has no one, and not worth coming.

The bar is nice looking and really modern, but there is one staff member who believes he is GOD and kicked me out of the DJ booth after 3-4 hrs of rocking the joint then tell me to see him outside and had My Wife, Friends and other staff members get my DJ equipment out of the club! Oh and he works at the door at St. Yves!
