Players Lounge

"Grab some chicken wings with the greens and mac and cheese (and a strong-a*s drink that’ll have you under the table) and you’re in for a good time at The Players Lounge. The restaurant in Congress Heights has been a community staple since the '70s and on any given night, you’ll find it packed with regulars enjoying the fantastic soul food. It’s a step back in time, with stained-glass Michelob overhead lamps, wood paneled walls and an old-school cash register. Be ready to chop it up at Wednesday night karaoke, and if you know how to act, you’ll feel at home in no time." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton

It’s a step back in time, with stained-glass Michelob overhead lamps, wood paneled walls and an old-school cash register. You’ll find most folks packed into the bar area, but there’s also extra seating in the back.
