Voodoo Bar DC

Voodoo Bar Brings Big Easy Energy to the U Street Corridor | Eater DC

"Tucked past a bright yellow door framed with a fleur-de-lis, the two-story sibling bar at 1334 U Street NW channels a French Quarter vibe with room for 90 (not including a life-sized voodoo doll) and plans to start serving booze as early as D.C. permits (6 a.m. daily). Expect communal fishbowl drinks alongside potent New Orleans cocktails like Hurricanes and Sazeracs; the first floor will be dripping in colorful beads with “crazy decor and lighting” and an overall tourist-trap feel, with trivia, karaoke, and Saints-friendly sports-watching parties planned, while a blacklight-illuminated second level will ramp up the music and glowing neon accents a la NoLa’s Voodoo Fest. A TBA food program is slated to kick off next summer, and, as co-owner Joshua Valencia says, “Voodoo promises to bring the spirit of Mardi Gras to the nation’s capital all year long.”" - Tierney Plumb
