Reviews for BROOKLYN on U in 1212 U St NW, WA
This place is hella popular but I’ve never understood why, I keep coming back because all my friends always wanna come... here. The downstairs is more for eating, tables, and chilling, talking. And upstairs is darker, more music, people still eatupstairs but it’s more of a club vibe. I’ve never ordered food here, because whenever I look at others it does not lookenticing at all. I will say it’s very gay friendly which is good. I think it’s small and I’ve never understood why we havea NY-Themed bar in DC. Read more
My friends and I came here as a party of 3, as soon as we arrived the hostess couldn't even find our reservation on their system... which we had made early that morning. Our reservation was for 3pm. The service was very slow our waitress barely tended to ourtable she kept disappearing and when it was time to pay the bill we had to get someone else to give us our bill. The food wasnot all that we had shrimp and grits I do not recommend. The service at this establishment is a bit tacky. Nice vibe though.They also served lemon drops in a whisky glass, yuck. Read more
I visited this place around 4:30p on a Sunday. I had a fabulous time! The people were beautiful and happy. The music was on... point. I can't say enough about the food...it was absolutely delicious! Loved this spot! I met the owner and he is a great guy!Definitely a must visit if you are in the area or not! Tell them blaze sent you! Lol Read more
Had brunch for 12 upstairs. They made us crowd our food (pre-fixed menu) one our tables, saying that the other tables were... reserved but no one ever showed up while we were there. When we wanted to get a table to keep the party going and enjoy hookahwe were told to come back in two hours for a table. It was ridiculous considering the same sections were practically empty whenwe returned. They did offer two bottles of champagne to go with the bottle service when we returned for the inconvenience. TIP:The brunch comes with a bottle of champagne per person for bottomless mimosas Read more

Everything was going well at this place until we realized we bought a watered down bottle of Patron.The waitress bought the... bottle out and claimed she opened it in front of us(which she did not) and she poured us all shots of our bottle which I thoughtwas inappropriate.I feel like she poured us drinks to hid the fact it wasn’t a fresh bottle.We never saw her open it and shelied saying she did.I bought several cups from the bar as well has two pitchers of mimosas and did not feel my drinks atall.Even when we started drinking the $300 bottle of Patron I did not feel the liquor at all.Food was good but do not buyalcohol here unless you want watered down liquor.We spend over $700 here for a party of 6 and that was not worth it, I will notbe returning.The manager came up looking like a bodyguard asking what was wrong, at that point I didn’t want to be the typicalblack customer complaining so I told him nothing was wrong and that I will be writing a review to warn others.Make sure you seeyour waitress open your bottle to ensure your liquor hasn’t been tampered with.Black businesses please do better and stopscamming.Also if you order wings tell them you want them well done, my brothers henny wings were pink Read more
From the text back once I RSVP'd, to the prompt, professional and warm welcoming "welcome to BROOKLYN on U" the gentleman at the... door displayed, we knew we were gnna have a great time. Reservations were needed fo' sure! Food was popping!! Get those Hennyand Honey Jack wings fo' sho! Lol Music was on point. Speakers were better upstairs. The pineapple ???????? drink was good,but $40 was a bit steep. Also, for $40, I was expecting for them to have been filled from the very bottom of the pineapple ????, not halfway, ya know? The waitresses are all beautiful, pleasant and professional!! Soo refreshing!! Upstairs also hasreserved seating for dining, however, the bar area is free game . Definitely looking forward to returning! Read more
Went for brunch today and was unimpressed by this establishment. I had higher hopes for a brunch spot in DC, on U street. I... ordered the chicken and waffles (do not recommend); the 3 strips of tenders were cooked hard and the waffle was slightly biggerthan an Eggo. My friends enjoyed their steak and eggs and french toast plates. The ladies are beautiful ?? the drinks were justok. They do not have unlimited mimosas (fair warning). Read more
