- dancingqueen fAMedevoLv3xionJune 21, 2017NOW it's SOUNDCHECK NIGHTCLUB, similar group(s), EDM scene, mainstream ET. Some cool DJs played here by Contract they had with clubs mgt. UNDERGROUND has lost its Cool "Under"-vibe to the "Contracts".
Erika YalowitzOctober 15, 2012I went back to Lima after a while (may be a year) and found it remodeled, the same great music and the same great atmosphere. They are selective with the folks the let in here. Good food.
Blair MJanuary 10, 2012Some of the best house music in all of DC and an exclusive upstairs club Vetro if you can swing getting back there!
Go early and try the restaurant! Very classy, fine dinning. Large portions, at reasonable price! Ceviches are amazing! Cuban chicken, churrasco steak and sea bass are always favorites!
Monique KellyJuly 26, 2013Great space. Food is good and reasonably priced. Don't let Daniel serve you unless you're buying drinks. Those are the only patrons he seemed to care about
미미 사랑July 27, 2013I love this place. Atmosphere is chill yet hype. A room for every mood. Cool place for girls night out.
[FRI 05.11.12] Tonight SAEED YOUNAN returns for his monthly residency at TEKA (Fridays at LIMA), along with DJ Lucky - time to get teka-teka-teka-tribal, people!!
Thursday nights at Lima are Glow nights, and the intimate setting of the club allows djs like Laidback Luke, Avicii, and John Dahlback to be literally five feet in front of you.
Happy hour has amazing drink specials and a great Happy Hour menu. $5 menu items or selections at the patio menu. Sliders, skewers, mussels, burgers, Cuban chicken! Read more
The Hottest Thursday Night Party in the City!!! Glow baby, it gets no better than this! Also Best Tuna Ceviche in town, Get there early and try the amazing fine dinning!
Charlotte SlaimanMay 23, 2010Loved this place. Creepers get too intense around 2. Make sure to check out the upstairs, its less crowded and plays songs you recognize.
Sara CaldwellApril 5, 2013Your hair will be a hot mess if you stand in front the of cold air blasts on the dance floor half the evening. I wish I didn't speak from experience, haha.

AngelaJuly 6, 2011No other lounge has successfully been in dc for this long.. The vip club on the back of the second floor looks like vegas, fyi
Anita LouiseMarch 24, 2013The service was horrible! Plus added 20% gratuity. They will never get my money again. 1 1/2 for food. Salads and food came together. Extra items on the bill. Adalgisa was in over her head.

"Go 5-7pm for happy hour. Drinks/small plates all under $6. Chicken tenders are great. It's an uppity establishment, quite full of itself. Staff is very attentive. Only open for dinner 2 nights a week."

"Great sound system, but the place is rather small. Reminds me of the basement parties I went to in high school. "
