One of the best hookah places in DC. I would recommend their Lamb chops and Egg rolls. The sauce was so delicious, and I wanted to know what they used. Definitely recommend it.

Silk bar blew me away! The energy was incredible, the drinks were on point, and Sam, the owner, and the team delivered the kind of warm, personal service you rarely find anymore. He made the whole night feel special. Absolutely unforgettable spot!

Went for a late-night dinner date and had a great time. Food was sooo delicious, they had a DJ, hookah, and loved their Long Island drink. Overall, we loved this intimate spot.
