Party Earth Review: 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 Review

Tip from Adriana:

“If you’re between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, go on a Tuesday for College Night. If you’re much older, pick a different night…or you really will feel MUCH older.”

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.
