Black Jack

Sketchy place. Left my wallet at the bar by mistake and pretty much positive the bartenders stole my cash. When asked if it was left at the bar or returned, they were clearly lying. The short Hispanic bartender acted like he didn’t understand and then looked for the tall white guy with a beard, who went off for way longer than necessary to ‘look’ for it but he was just standing around doing who knows what. I have lost a wallet before and obviously knew random people stole stuff, but this was clearly just left at the bar right as I closed my tab so the bartenders would have taken it. They were definitely in on it and just sketchy all around. Sucked to have this experience after enjoying the affiliated restaurant which is right below. FYI, I had a fantastic meal at Pearl Dive right below, which has the same menu. So I don’t want this to reflect Pearl Dive. I’m specifically referring to the bar Black Jack upstairs.

Great food .. excellent service. A bit pricey.

I had the best solo date here. Cam the bartender was awesome. I told him it was my first time he made me feel like a regular. I was amazed at his bartenders skills . Everyone from the door guy to severs were welcoming. The oyster was bomb. Please try the mussels phenomenal. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience on a solo date.

Fun spot but don't open a tab at the bar upstairs. Bartenders upstairs will actively add random other customer orders to your tab without your knowledge and refuse to correct it. When I called them out on it, they told me to "just don't leave a tip then". Close your tab after every drink and double check the amount they charge you. My 3 beers turned into $100+ real quick.

Ok lets talk about BJ. Not that bj. Black jack is great. Good mix of music and the bartender both eddie and cam are amazing. They really give the place the life it needs. Drinks arent crazy expensive for DC and they are actually GOOD. I always find myself having a fantastic time here.

This is the worst bar I have ever been to. Waited hours for drinks. I sat on my boyfriends lap for 2 seconds and a ‘manager’ told me ‘no lap dances’ and everyone backed him up. If you want to have fun, don’t go here. Horrible.
