Party Earth Lima Restaurant & Lounge Review

The Scene

Part restaurant, part lounge, and part techno dance party, K Street's Lima Restaurant & Lounge is a near-nightly scene of bumps, grinds, and chichi nibbles.

DOWNTOWN WASHINGTON, DC –

Part restaurant, part lounge, and part techno dance party, K Street’s Lima Restaurant & Lounge is a near-nightly scene of bumps, grinds, and chichi nibbles.

Early in the evening, the after-work Happy Hour crowd tends to populate the main floor bar, washing off the day with a few mojitos and a wide-screen broadcast of major sporting events.

Up a flight of stairs is the candlelit dining area, where chic couples enjoy diverse Latin fare on red leather couches, or tuck into Lima’s exclusive Vetro lounge, a 1,400-square-foot invite-only private room with its own DJ and a striking stainless steel bar.

As the night picks up, hordes of students, international party-seekers, and sharply dressed young businessmen endure long lines and the occasional cover charge to make their way down a transparent glass staircase to lose themselves – and perhaps find someone else – in the blur of dance music, neon strobe lights, and the sexy singles who are often staples of the downstairs lounge and dance floor.

For fine dining and an even finer clientele, Lima Restaurant and Lounge is a multi-leveled sandwich of sensual tastes and sultry fun.

Lima Restaurant & Lounge User Reviews

lorenapatricia33 Jan 14, 2013 3.0 stars A Taste of DC Lima is chic, sophisticated and it offers a little bit of everything. Often people overlook the fact that apart from being a popular nightclub it is first and foremost a restaurant and a great one at that. The menu may be small but the food is absolutely delectable; you really can’t go wrong with any option. It’s fresh and its Latin flavor is deliciously exotic. Even more enticing than its food is the happy hour that goes along with it. Wednesday’s you’ll likely run into the young professional clan since the happy hour extends until 9pm. Without a doubt Lima will have something going on every night of the week. Monday night is salsa night, and lessons are offered earlier in the night which is perfect for both beginners and pros. Tuesday night make sure to stay away or at least depending on your age because on this particular night Lima opens their doors to the 18 and up crowd. Wednesday night as I mentioned before is more mellow yet, perfect for a night out for dinner. Although watch out as a casual night out can quickly transition into something wilder after all those half off mojitos. Join Lima on Thursday nights to experience their stab at the EDM scene. Fridays’ and Saturday’s are normal hot nights at Lima that caters to the general crowd of partiers. There are a total of four floors you can get access to although, depending on the night not all of them may be open to the public. The fourth floor is home to the incredibly clandestine VIP room. It’s here where you can find the crowd that’s willing to spend the big bucks to get a table or two. This room has access to a bar of its own, its own DJ, and incredibly skinny go-go dancers on small stages around the room who add to the entertainment. Lima is the type of place that always seems open, and that guarantees a good night out. It’s a great modern venue that has that sophisticated club feel. Remember there is a dress code, meaning that flip-flops and shorts are not acceptable attire, particularly for men. You really can’t go wrong with a night out at Lima. Ultimately, if I had one night in DC and was on the hunt for a taste of the DC clubbing scene, Lima is where you’d find me.
