This club is amazing and is now one of my favorites in DC area. The decor, the music, and the vibe is everything that you may see in Miami, but we have it here in DC! The crowd is on the younger side, but thats ok. Definitely come dressed to impress. This is come to be seen place! High class.

Went there just to see Cassian but got kinda disappointed when people started smoking cigarettes and the security wouldn’t even care. Not every one smokes and just wants to have fun dancing with good music. As far as I know clubs are not allowed to have people smoking cigarettes indoors am I wrong?

We really enjoyed our time at Zebbie’s. Good music and good vibes. It was plenty of space to dance and enjoy ourselves. The decorations and wall art are so beautiful. It was free to get in but the drinks were very pricey. Overall, we had a good time.

I had an absolutely amazing time at Zebbies Garden in Washington DC! The music was amazing! They have a lively and energetic atmosphere that kept us dancing all night long. The lights were mesmerizing and added to the overall ambiance of the club. We truly had a blast and couldnt have asked for a better night out. If youre looking for a place with great music and wonderful lights, Zebbies Garden Nightclub is the place to be! Highly recommended for a memorable night of fun.

DO NOT GO HERE FOR A NIGHT OUT. As a British tourist, this establishment is a joke and is a stain for DC. On Tuesday 21st November 2023, there were no lines to get in, absolute chaos, and the owner/manager, shown in the picture above everyone else, was physically assaulting people including myself. I was patiently waiting in line, when one man pushed him, he instantly looked at me and accused me of doing it, grappling my shirt and shouting into my face that “I’m dead”. The owner is off his head, and certainly not mentally stable, and therefore should not be running a night club or any business for that matter. He was unprofessional and legal measures will be necessarily taken against him.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting Zebbies Garden in Washington DC, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance captivated us with its chic decor and vibrant energy. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, ensuring that our experience was top-notch from start to finish.The music was the heart and soul of the night, with an amazing DJ who knew exactly how to keep the crowd on their feet. The sound system was impeccable, delivering every beat with crystal clear precision.One of the highlights of the evening was the incredible selection of drinks. The bartenders were true artists, crafting each cocktail with precision and flair. Whether you’re looking for a classic drink or something more adventurous, the menu has something for everyone.What sets Zebbies apart is its ability to cater to a diverse crowd. It’s a place where everyone feels welcome, and you’re sure to meet interesting people from all walks of life. The energy is infectious, and it’s impossible not to have a great time.In conclusion, if you’re looking for an unforgettable night out in DC, Zebbies is the place to be. With its fantastic music, superb drinks, and welcoming atmosphere, it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the best of the city’s nightlife. I can’t wait to return and create more memorable moments!

I went for the first time to an event that is hosted called Flower Factory. The space itself is lovely and is perfect especially during the spring and summer season. One thing to note is the drinks are a bit expensive with a 10 ounce rail gin and tonic costing around $17 with gratuity included but not clearly stated. Other than that great venue, space, and event.

Review №13

B+ facility with a D- crowd. The vibe here last Friday night included cringey bros harassing women, wasted college students, and people who don’t respect each other’s space. The club is poorly designed for a smooth flow of traffic, and it’s such a disappointment because of the amazing disco balls and sound system. Zebbie’s immediately needs to stop the light pollution with bottle service - tacky and absolutely disrupts the show. My group of 3 had a hard time finding space after arriving at 11:30pm for the Argy set, which started at 12:30am. I dont think the crowd was there for the music because they kept talking over it and using elbows...the music is all I came for and Im hesitant to try new artists here because of the poor experience.

Zebbies Garden is my go-to spot in Dupont for dancing the night away to house music. At Zebbies, you get up close and personal with DJs from all across the world, whether you dance in front of the booth, or get a table section. Doors open at 10, but it really gets popping around 11:30. Headliners start at 12:30. There is never a cover, but the line can get long, especially on big-name nights (so I say try and get there earlier than midnight). Drinks are standard price for Dupont, but making friends with a bartender or a cocktail server never hurts and they will take care of you. They do hookah outside (in the garden where the roof opens up) and even have electric hookahs for the tables inside if thats your thing. Theyre always open friday & sat but follow them on insta to see when theyre doing day parties. Its always a viiiibbeeee when the sun is shining and the roof is open. FYI no food service there, but lots of options when you leave (&pizza, empanada place, shake shack, chik fila). Check it out if youre in the city and looking for good music and a good time!

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR THINGS STOLEN!!!! I went here with my friends and someone took a phone right out of my friends pocket. When we approached the security, there was 3 other people also complaining that they had their phone/wallets stolen! When I told them theres definitely a pit- pocketer going around, there was no action taken by the venue to warn everyone. Upon going home I realized there was SEVERAL other reviews and even a Reddit thread with many saying people got their phones stolen here. Someone even said they suspect it’s a member of the staff, which I now wouldnt be surprised. I’ve been to many night clubs in DC for several years and I’ve never experienced such a thing. I will not be coming here ever again.

There’s blend of nightlife and nature that creates an instagram-worthy setting which I love. Their instagram page, @zebbiesgarden, posts updates with international and local DJ’s playing every weekend! (they usually post a free rsvp link too) This upscale club has the friendliest crowd and a great selection of drinks. Definitely recommend for a night out.

Review №24

Ive been here twice.Pros: -usually no cover-nice photo op setup by the coat check-sometimes daytime showsCons: -no crowd control; floor is half empty and half congested with elbowsPeople smoking cigarettes inside-I dont drink but the drinks appear to be pricey 15-25+ dollars for a drink thats 80% ice; ie standard no covershenanagins-The freaking ceiling was leaking water-Not exactly the most carefree crowd, considering the setting, but thats subjectiveIf youre drunk maybe you wont notice, but for me it just felt like a giant fire hazard. It was a writhing mass of wriggling elbows and pelvic muscles wielding cigarette butts and jockeying for position while the only escape is a 3 story drop. If u like house/tech id stick to warehouses

Review №26

(This message is only for the owner)I know the value of rating and review, I am running my own three different businesses, its very hard to explain here and i wish i can see you in person and talk about what happened.We love this place and past couple months we spend thousands of dollars.Last time (oct 28,2023) we feel very disappointed and disrespect. Your team your staff was very very rude.Whats the reason if someone booked table? There was lot of mess but i will come to the point if your bouncer or staff give bands to us and they know we have table they know the faces. One of my friend he lost his band and he step down from the table then your bouncer not allow him to come back. And he was super rude. How it’s possible if we are 6 people and he said that i know you was on table but i will not allow you to go back on because you lose your band. I mean what was that? I respect rules, but put your self on my place and think you paying 2k and one of your friend not allow to go back on table.i wish i can take some legal action about it.I personally decided to never go back in this club because of your team. Even I request the lady and other person that i can pay extra to get band for him but no one take serious.I wish you watch the recording and see your bouncer behavior. You can see how we deal and how they disrespect us and our friends.your team wants only cash, every time we give them cash + 4-5 hundreds tips and fee. Before they charge us they are nice and then gone. No manger nợ responsible person available. Only one girl and she simply replied “i can’t do anything “ like seriously?I know at one stage it may not effect you or your team creat reasons but as a business person i will hope you take a notice.

Danger at the door! The decor, music, staff are all for money people so the experience won’t be good. It’s a show-off spot not built for experience or enjoyment. I had 2 bartender on both sides ignore and bark at me until they realized I was paying. I think the shots are watered down so beware!! Service is trash and security is ready for war. This is not a place for fun or a night out. It’s a place you have to know someone. I like that you can smoke, but now I know that means trouble. Most ppl I met agreed but they knew somebody there that hooked them up.

You pay $1100 for a table but staff still let their friends in the vip area for free. They will seat at your table and drink from your drinks but if you are trying to cross between tables, be ready to be treated like sh3at. If you are a woman, good luck getting anything from the bottle girls such as water. Like other comments said, not great crowd but great music for sure!

I have been here multiple times. The other night I was turned away for having a fake id when it was 100% real and the same one I use every single day of my life. The same person who turned me away was the same person who let me in every other time I’ve been here. Bouncers love to have an ego and picking fights because they’re bored. It is not my fault that you hate your job. Please get your people in check. Ruined my night.

Had a terrible experience first time in this place. Went to use the gender neutral restroom and the moment I got out, I was berated by one of the female bartenders (caucasian, mid 40’s, short haircut) demanding I clean the toilet seat. Firstly miss, I did not leave any mess. Secondly she assumed I “would” leave a mess, maybe because I am a man? Not sure but it doesn’t matter. It was embarrassing as everyone nearby stared at me as if she was automatically right. Nobody should go through that level of humiliation. First time in DC and would definitely never go back here.

Yesterday I was on this site, I think its a place where customers are discriminated against, the bartender didnt want to sell me because he didnt speak English, I think a place like that should have bilingual staff to provide a good service, I thought it was disrespectful that the bartender didnt want to serve me for not speaking English

**MAN HITS FEMALE - BAR DOES NOTHING**This place is not safe my friend came home shaken up and told me a random guy RIPPED OUT HER HAIR and PUNCHED her in the face. Bar tenders and bouncers witnessed this - bar tenders did nothing and bouncers came in too late to protect her from any further abuse and she was lucky enough she had one friend to fend off this person. Stay clear of this place if you value your safety as a girl!!!!

If I could give zero stars I would. Red the bartender screamed in my face for me attempting to get her attention when I had already been waiting for 20 minutes. I understand the rush as Im a seasoned bartender myself. When I tried to confront her she said okay and walked away. You dont scream in patrons faces. PEOPLE OF COLOR STAY AWAY! She also did not serve other people of color in the vicinity. I watched a black girl get ignored. When I asked she shared she had been waiting about 25 minutes. Everyone was rude (except security) and disrespectful to me and others. I would never ever patronize this business

Went here for NYE. There was no countdown to midnight, nothing making it clear it was close to midnight or anything like that. The DJ just continued blasting music (that obviously nobody could sing to). My friend and I checked our phones to realize it was 12:01. People werent really dancing because it wasnt danceable music.Far more bothersome and disgusting was the fact that people were smoking cigarettes which is illegal inside any public space in D.C.Also, the female workers were all in tiny outfits that were clearly not their choice. Im all here for wear what you want, but not being forced to wear something that makes you uncomfortable.I should have read and trusted the previous reviews.Im glad I was with my friend but the experience itself was bad.

If I could rate this place 0 stars I would. The bartender was some middle aged Neanderthal with a beard. When I tried to order my drink he through a fit because I wasn’t screaming loud enough for him to hear. I was astounded by his extreme incompetence. I will not be returning to this circus act of an establishment.

When I was exiting Zebbies on March 23,2023 around 10:30 pm I attempted to exit thru the right side that had a clear opening thru the ropes. Two bouncers who were standing in front of that exit and stated I needed to go the other way in a condescending tone with me as I explain to them my car was in that direction. Both again refuse to accommodate me by allowing me to exit thru the already opening. Instead they both pointed me to the exit that was behind me which at the time wasnt open. Also their werent any patron coming in or out of already opening exit, however they still refused to accommodate me. In my opinion it was a racial under tonewhich was we dont want blackmen to patronize/spend money in our establishment so let us treat them in a subtle way to where they will not return. Blackmen can work at Zebbies,we just dont want blackmen patronizing Zebbies. Mind you I was wearing a suit, definitely over dress. However I didnt pose any threat and was never disrespectful. If that was their goal. GOAL ACCOMPLISH!

Not a LGBTQ+ friendly space. My partner and I were targeted by the bouncers without being given an explanation at all. Though we completely complied with everything they were telling they still got physically aggressive , putting my partner into a chokehold without a reason at all.Our group even had a table and everyone was horrified by the staff’s actions. Never going back.
