​What a find! I was looking for a fun spot on a Wednesday night and Recessions delivered one of the most memorable nights I've had in DC. The karaoke here is top-tier. The energy was electric, with a friendly crowd singing great songs and genuinely enjoying themselves. It's exactly the kind of fun, welcoming vibe you look for in a local bar. ​On top of the amazing karaoke, they have pool tables for a great change of pace. I even had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Muhammad, and played a friendly game of pool against him. He was incredibly gracious and made me feel right at home. As if the night couldn't get any better, he gave me a 15% discount coupon for my next visit! That's the kind of hospitality that creates loyal customers. This is without a doubt a go-to spot for karaoke in the city. I'll be back soon!

This is a great spot! The bartenders are nice people and the best karaoke singers somehow gravitate here. It's like American Idol!
