Abigail, Washington DC

Would never step foot in this place ever. Five of us went out Saturday night to celebrate. We reserved a vip table for 5. When we got there our spot was so small we asked to seat somewhere else. The manager told me if I needed a bigger spot we would have to pay the 1k for it which we did. But oh boy we should have left the place all together. People were trafficking over to our spot all night. On multiple occasions I asked to speak with the manager no one showed up. The next day the manager Mike decides to call. I expressed my concerns which fell into death ear. But if you re looking for a nice vip spot to hang out as a small group do not set foot into that dumpster. Nothing but bad service and a waste of money. We made the best of it since we were already there but would not ever set foot and would not ever recommend.

Don't do it. $12 beers, two shots of aguardiente antioqueño for $40. For reference, you can find the bottle for $18.

The most homophobic and disgusting place my friends and i have experienced in DC.it is absolutely mind boggling how the bouncers truly argued with us, telling us how subjective dressing is to different genders!? My friend who is male appearing was stopped from being let in bc she wore a tank top while so many of us including me were wearing more revealing tops. There was nothing on dress codes on the ticket or website. It was so disheartening to be subjected to such behavior in this day and age. This is DC, not Florida or Alabama. Opening up grounds for a lawsuit on sexual & gender discrimination!

Went here with some friend's for the DC Bar crawl during this halloweek-end. All was fun, we got our first drinks until my friend started acting funny. My friend ended up getting roofied by some guy posing to be a security's officer and tried to "Kick" her out. Then he got mad and told actual security she was throwing up everywhere and kicked us out too. Be careful.

HORRIBLE ESTABLISHMENT. Security is so disrespectful and discriminatory. They assumed because our purses were large (they were just medium Telfars) that we’d be stealing the bottles that we BOUGHT, so they held our bags hostage in a closet. They told us that they have to hold our bags but aren’t responsible for them if someone goes missing while they’re in the closet that THEY put them in. We bought a section and they didn’t tell us it was in the back portion of the club where NO ONE is at so everything started off super scammy from the beginning because they don’t disclose where the sections are that you are buying, which is misleading. The back section of the club is blocked off by a wall so you aren’t even apart of the main portion of the club. We ordered a bottle of DON JULIO and Casamigos. The waitress bought us PATRON instead of DON Julio (which were 2 different prices) and charged our card TWICE, thinking we wouldn’t notice. The club is small and cramped, and the music absolutely sucks. I do NOT suggest spending money in this place.

They took advantage of my young son and his friends who this was their first time doing a table. They kept charger him and never even said the right name. I wished my son wld told me instead trying to pay for the table that he didn’t request. Kept paying money just bc they said so and never even showed him the right name on the receipt. Luckily i work For the senate and will have my people locate the anc and see if we can get this club a look at and investigation. He will need his money back. Please kept watch them They will take advantage.

The nightclub itself was cool with good music.the sections are separated from the bar so you can only do on the dance floor if you’ve got a section.drinks were expensive also.

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!

I’m an out of towner who went for a brunch party and had a blast! It was a great time and there were at least 3 birthday parties there that day. It was clean and staff were fun!

After attending this venue with my very diverse friend group I was rudely met with a bouncer who was not fond of my friends life choices. My friend is a part of the transgender community and the bouncers outside were very unfriendly and unwelcoming with her being there. One rude bouncer did nothing but call my friend a "f****t" and tell us that we could not enter. We did nothing but stand in line and offer cover but we were met with nothing but hate and terrible service. Would never recommend and will never return.

Absolutely horrible place! My daughter took me there for my 50th birthday and it was the worst experience I have ever had. The staff were rude, drinks were overpriced, and the manager cursed me out in front of my poor daughter who started crying dreadfully all because I asked where the bathroom was.

Absolutely horrendous venue. I took my buddy here for his 30th, and boy oh boy, I cannot even fathom how this dumpster fire of a nightclub is still open. If you’re looking to have a good time, look elsewhere.

I tagged along to my stepfather's 30th birthday party, absolutely atrocious venue. I wanted a cool night out and the ability to bond with my mom's boyfriend but those opportunities were squandered by the stuffy environment, the lack of customer service, and the fact that I had to pay $20 for a water. It was hotter than the gates of hellfire itself in there, so naturally I had to hydrate. I shelled out $140 dollars just to not be dehydrated, I hoped to attend college one day, but Abigail ensured I keep working in the mines.

What a dump. The employees look so miserable. I went up to the bar just to get a simple water for a friend and I, and they tried to charge me $23 dollars? I'd drink the toilet water. Went here for my buddy's 30th birthday, I will never step foot inside of this hellfire again. If you are thinking about going here, think again.

$20 water? Water better be from the fountain of youth itself. Terrible venue, terrible management, ruined my 30th birthday party.

Would give 0 if I could. Bad management reaks from this place. Horrible vibes, place tries every trick in the book to run you up with an extremely mid venue. Much better places 1 min away in DuPont, don’t waste your time going here.

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

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!

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.
