Review from Mandana Y.

Oh Bossa. You have effortlessly become one of my favorite spots in the city. I wish you weren't crammed inside the chaos of Adam's Morgan. No one there appreciates you.
This place has an amazing happy hour. Half off their tapas, 4 dollar caipirinhas, 5 dollar martinis... all until 8pm! Last time I went I had 2 drinks, with food and paid only 20 bucks after tip.
Organic, non-hormone injected food. Good food. Actually, great food. Why aren't more people dining here? Where are you eating in AM? Amsterdam? Please people, step it up. You have better options! *see my review of Soussi*
There is a 5 dollar cover. Not because they want to piss you off. But because they want to weed out the riff-raf of AM and maintain a sophisticated atmosphere where people can come and enjoy (the awesome) live music. Also, if you come often enough, the doorman will recognize you and not charge you cover. Where else in AM can you feel like a VIP without also being a tool?
Bottom line, this place is a neighborhood gem. And that should say a lot considering the neighborhood is Adam's Morgan.Listed in: Rollin with the Homies

Great small place that is lit just right .
They offer salsa dancing in Adams Morgan. I am not sure why they call it Bossa. They should just call it Bossa Salsa since it seems that is what they specialize in. The cover charge is $5---but when they guy explained that they have a live band--" that will be $5 "
Let's just say I walked away b/c they only had another 2 hours to close. But he changed his mind and let my friend and I in for free. When we went inside, they had no LIVE band but they did have awesome salsa music. There was a guy who danced like a bird on a cloud.
It was a very cool vibe and I will definitely go there again. It is want one of those places where if you do not know about it--- you will never go inside. The cover charge--yeah, they should stop charging it. But I think that they are trying to make up for the small crowds that they attract.
Put a spanish girl with a nice face--and that will get all the guys coming in :) -

I went here for a birthday party and arrived around 11pm on a Saturday. It wasn't too crowded, but we still paid the $5 cover to enter.
The downstairs had a nice band that seemed to be playing salsa and the dance floor was pretty packed. I would guess that if you're a good salsa dancer, this is a great bar/club to go on a Saturday night.
We tended to stay upstairs where there was a DJ. He was mediocre in my opinion constantly playing techno music. I don't think many liked what was playing since dancing was really at a minimum, so it would have been better if he played something more mainstream to get the night moving.
Overall, it was a good time, but a pretty typical bar for Adam's Morgan. -

After bar-hopping at a couple of humdrum places on 18th Street, my friends and I were about ready to give up on spending our Saturday night in Adams Morgan. We each had different ideas of fun--some wanted to just drink, some of us wanted to dance, some wanted both... Bossa was our last place to try before we threw in the towel. We were drawn to the pumping salsa on the first floor. Since we were charged $5 cover, we all agreed that we HAD to stay for at least an hour just for the principle of it.
There was a live salsa band on the first floor that played on and off. On the second floor was a DJ who played your usual popular/contemporary hits. Some of his mixes were a little weird but it was enough to keep us dancing for a while. By the time we walked out, everyone was satisfied. -

I was rather excited when I walked into Bossa to hear a friend play in one of the random bands on a weeknight because the size is right, the mood is right, and the art is right. I mean, they have old hippie naked men hanging out of the walls (in photography)! It really set the mood, and when I saw the bartender lighting some incense to make sure we were all mellowing out, I was totally fine.
But then I get the tab for buying my friend a drink: two caipirinhas for $22?? Okay, well we'll go back next round and order something a little more basic. Wait, $8 for a rum-and-diet? Wow, these are some NYC prices up in here! Whatever, the mood was good, the band enjoyable, and I loved how Adams Morgan attracts anyone from rastafarians to people in suits to just the cool, hip crowd to listen to some good music! -

Step one: enter and be inundated with smells (incense) and sights (photos of indigenous Africans) and sounds (live music from both up and downstairs.
Step two: imbibe. (delicious mojitos, well poured hard booze, frosty beer in bottles and cans.
Step three: enjoy. (the space is narrow and a bit crowded...and I was a bit perturbed to see obvious dust bunnies and dust on light fixtures directly above the bar....however the people watching is great, the music was fairly good, prices are moderate to high and there was only one bartender.)
A cool spot to stop for a cocktail if you're in the adams morgan area...the menu actually looked pretty solid but we were there for drinks and drinks only. -

What a surprise this was. I was in the area with a friend and we were looking for a place to eat. We noticed a sign that said free samba/pagode lessons in the window and the music sounded great. We went in and were really impressed. First of all, the pictures and art on the walls are amazing. I dont get the connection to Brazil, but the photos are all from India and some brightly colored festivals there.
The service was friendly, although the server accidentally threw away half my meal because she thought I didnt want to take it home (lady that was my lunch!)
I had a steak with beans and white rice. It was simple, but really good.
My friend had the eggplant and was really satisfied. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some caipirihnas as well.
The added bonus was that this place wasnt filled with drunk fools that usually frequent places in Adams Morgan spots. -

This a lively, down-to-earth, unpretentious bar with the flavor of South America. The food and drinks were good, although not outstanding. I wish they had a drink menu with more wine selection, but what they had worked for me. The server, Alicia, was great, and so was the hot salsa band. I went on a Saturday night and it was hopping. I would highly recommend this place!

Despite:
-the $5 cover charge;
-the painfully weak drinks;
-the freezing wind that gusts into the tiny space every time someone opens the door (and holds it open while their IDs are checked); and
-the gross and very drunk couple making out in the middle of the floor.
Bossa is my new favourite bar in Adams Morgan.
Because it:
-Features a live salsa band which, in turn, has:
-A sexy Puerto Rican singer;
-Bongos;
-A trumpet; and
-Cowbell.
-Has a diverse, international, well-behaved, and, surprisingly, pretty decent looking crowd who generally don't know how to dance salsa, but have lots of fun trying and are fun to watch;
-Is really clean and smelled like incense when we walked in;
-Has some beautiful photography displayed on the exposed brick walls;
-Isn't too crowded; and
-Generally has a great, chill vibe.Listed in: DON'T WINCE! [DC Nightlife]

A cozy spot in AdMo with live latin music band. A couple of us came here after the Yelp Elite event at Saki for needed sustenance. The food is fresh and tasty. I had the hummus appetizer and the eggplant parmesan. Both were very good and we were regaled by the live band playing latin beats.
A definitively lower key and more intimate spot if you're looking for latin salsa, bossanova, etc.. without the meat market atmosphere of Havana Village. -

I'm not a fan of Adams Morgan at night at all. I do my best to avoid it unless there are certain social obligations (like going-away parties or birthdays). I'm not gonna lie, a lot of the reason I went to the Yelp Elite Event a few doors down at Saki was for the lunchbox! In any case, a group of us ended up at Bossa after the event for some eats and it was not bad at all!
Alicia C and I decided to split some tapas which were the fried rice croquettes filled with spinach and mozz, the garlic shrimp sauteed in white wine and herbs and the meatballs. The plates were a lot larger than we expected but we ate every bite. Of the three, my favorite were the croquettes but each dish was very tasty.
While we ate, we were able to enjoy the live band (and thankfully got in before they started charging a cover!) and watch people salsa. It was a very cozy atmosphere that I could see myself returning to enjoy...that is, if you can pry me out of the 'burbs to AdMo at night again. -

Decor and setting is a warm artsy feeling with the great photos along the wall and mural above the bar. Not a lot of seating save for the mini-tables lining the left and right walls but it's not a big spot so understood. Bartenders (contrary to previous reviews) make a strong drink. I read that they didn't make strong drinks and mistakingly started the night with a double jack-and-coke...and the dancing bear was unveiled!!!
The upper level is pretty much a wide open spot with two couches and a smaller bar. DJ was spinning top 40 hip hop, R&B and 90's house which is pretty much my thing (dancing bear loved this!). But....there is this odd area in the back that I did read about in other reviews and ...just as others have said that it's a weird empty dark lit area with a single chair! WTF...is this an area for drunken torture sessions or moody lap dances! Both of these acts occurred at one point during the night!.
Overall it's a nice departure from the other swilling spots (Felix, Brass Monkey, Tom Tom..etc.) and a nice chill tone without being pretentious. I would definitely go back again! -

Dodging bullets. In Adams Morgan...
$5 to get in. Not too crowded. Live Latin band. Men will ask you to dance. Some men will not 'unfriend' you. Pricey drinks. Upstairs has a more gringo feel. The four up there can dance. Bathrooms are bad. Outside smoking area. Watch people. Get shot. Liked this place better years ago. Would like it better if the night didn't involve impromptu live fire.
Adams Morgan. Not worth dying for. -

Maybe I've outgrown the Adams Morgan bar scene. They're all starting to look the same to me!
Drinks are okay, the scene is okay, and I'm not sure about the blacklight in the back room dancefloor. Very unflattering, unless you're at a rave. Or a damp back alleyway. -

UGH, Lent! Every place that I've reviewed during Lent will have to be revisited so I can test out the drink selections (which is why I can't give Bossa the 5 stars it deserves). Sigh.
That said, Bossa is kind of phenomenal. We went for one of my girls' birthday outing.
Live salsa sung by a superhot Puerto Rican man, accompanied by a full band, including a trumbonist. It was my first time in the presence of such music and it took my breath away.
My friends and I mostly lounged (with me watching my friends suck down mojito after succulent mojito). Although the music was awesome, there's not a lot of room to dance; ie, when the birthday girl danced with this guy, they fairly consistently ran into the other couples around them. Granted, the other couples deserved to be run into since they didn't know what they were doing, and were awkwardly gyrating their nonexistent hips on each other. Shrugs.
That said, the crowd is mostly international and pretty diverse, including, for some reason, a contingency of Georgetown University masters' alumni, who recognized me as Library Girl. Again, shrugs.
Bossa is also part art gallery, and while I was there, they featured black and white photos of what looked to me to be an indiginous African funeral (lots and lots of raw emotion), which was COMPLETELY contrasting to the euphoric mood the music created and struck me as odd, but it's definitely a conversation starter.
Overall, I had a darn good time, despite going mojitoless and barely being able to move on the dancefloor. We shall revisit! ;)Listed in: Places I Like to Get My…

My friend and I went here for dinner as he thought it was organic (apparently that was the past chef or something) but when we went in around 7:45 on a Saturday night, it was vacant. OK, take any seat we want. I like the atmosphere, the food was ok - we had tapas and appetizers - although it was pretty heavy on the butter and the bread was sort of like toasted wonder bread. Hummus was very good.
They were out of a bunch of things, and I sort of felt like this place was more bar than restaurant. Service was friendly, prompt, wine list non existent (house wines only I think).
Bottom line, I think this place would be great for drinks and a nibble if you're starving...but pass for dinner. -

There is a reason why I love this place....its is because I love music, and more importantly....I love dancing. So, a venue where I can seriously "break it down" without bumping into sweaty bodies is a good time for me....if you add live music to the scene...woah, i brace myself....if the upstairs DJ plays old skool hip hop tracks you havent heard or danced to in ages....then, hot damn, sign me up.
You mean I can find a seat when when I need to rest my hot toes? Fantastic clientele? (I've been there on weekends and weeknights...and you know you'll find "good people" somewhere in the mix of Bossa). Beer? Liquor? Decent wine?
I can even salsa dance if its the right night of the week? Did I mention that DJ updstairs? (Saturday night).
And let me not forget that when I just want to grab a drink with friends...I can do so outside and partake in some serious people watching.....
three thumbs up for Bossa...!Listed in: 90, 92, 93, "Well, if you twist my…

Bossa can be a happening place. Our friend Ben is currently bartending here upstairs on the weekends, and he *will* entertain you.
When Bossa first opened, it served a really nice, organic dinner. In fact, we hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner at Bossa. They gave us the 3rd floor, and put together a menu for twenty people. The food was very good, and everyone loved the venue and the service. Successful rehearsal dinner!
At some point they stopped serving full-on dinner. They still have organic beers though :-) -

This bar/lounge is always fun. I've been here twice once for a friends birthday and second for a friend or a friend's salsa band performance. Always lively and fun. The first time I came here there was a burlesque show downstairs so I was a bit taken aback when I walked in and saw nipple tassels, but after the initial surprise it was really entertaining! The upstairs bar and dance area has cushy seating around the windows so its great for people watching a looking down onto 18th St.
My second excursion to Bossa was for a salsa band which was so fun. Everybody was up and dancing to the music and I got pulled up onto the stage, which was exciting. Always a great time. -

Feijao Tropeiro Appetizer - great bean, rice, and meat side dish.
Most dishes here are meat with a side of rice and black beans. Simple but hearty.
Muqueca is one of the more interesting entree offerings.
Bossa has a typical Adams Morgan feel. Atmosphere is cozy and casual. We were expecting a bossa band at 8pm but they never came. Caipirinhas were $10 each - I wish we had known that before we ordered $80 worth of them. -

First, I would like to be transparent and own up to the fact that this is my neighborhood bar, and I am indeed biased. That being said, this is a great music and dancing spot that is somehow remained douchebag-free in Adams Morgan. Live Jazz, Salsa, Samba, House, Jam band, Experimental and even a great open-mic poetry night every second Monday of the month. They also have DJ's spinning upstairs and a small outdoors seating area that I highly recommend for happy hour and will certainy appease all of you smokers that want to sip and smoke in DC.
Come by and sit, drink, flirt, listen, dance and shake it. -

It was Bossa, Saturday night. My old classmates were visiting from Miami, trying to get us kicked out of the bar. We had come to Bossa as a last resort, thinking the live band might provide an uplift. The band was good, (A band of gray-hairs, playing them blues) ... but we were too far gone to appreciate.
These old classmates of mine are of reprehensible character, and so, wanting to cause a scene, two of them stepped on stage and pretended like they were playing the instruments...but it only excited the band, and energized the crowd. That's when I took off -- I can't the blues. -

Did Bossa on a date and fell in love. With Bossa. ;)
The stories are all true - it's a sexy young crowd full of expats from Brazil and Latin America and curious, adventurous Americans in a hip, comfortable ambience.
The music is pure Latino (every night I've been), the dancers can work it, and it's so packed you can jump in and kick up your heels without embarrassing yourself too much. (Like, for example, if you've had one too many and want to dance the samba as a tipsy, sassy merengue.)
So go soak up the atmosphere, kids! Time's a-wastin'! -

Bossa seems a little hidden - the outside doesn't lead on to the greatness inside. The set up is pretty typical for AdMo - narrow, 2 stories, tables on the side and an open space upstairs.
Tons of great salsa music (live) and twice as many latinos and salsa dancers on Saturday night. A lot of couples just sit off to the side, look "groovy" in a Common meets Jill Scott kind of way, and peer into each others' eyes while everyone else dances.
Bossa is one place in AM that I think I could return to - and not against my will. -

This is where I would come to get my fix for middle-aged Latin American men.
It's a place I really really want to like and I'll probably be back again. I've been here twice now. I do like the music.
The male-to-female ratio is absolutely horrible. Even worse if you don't count the women tending bar.
Barely any people upstairs, even with another DJ spinning I've only ever seen 4-5 people there dancing.
If they dropped the cover I might be able to up it a star. Or I might feel guilty about the 2 stars and change it to 3 and put "2.5 stars" in here another day. -

This place used to be cool before it started trying to charge a cover fee. Really? In Adams Morgan?
I love the live band, i think that's a nice touch but i really think charging a cover fee in Adams Morgan is a big mistake. The place is lucky to even get people dressed nicely in the joint.
Id skip it and go to Rumba. And people stop calling Adams Morgan AdMo, this is not new york, SOHO, NOHO and such. its Adams Morgan. -

While visiting DC just a couple weeks ago I learned that a client of mine was going to be playing with his band at a restaurant / lounge just around the corner from where my cousin lives. It happened to be Bossa and it turned out to be a pretty nice joint. There's an open area between the front window and the bar in the back with bench seats and several tables. The band plays on the raised stage in the front window which allows for a good view even all the way from the bar. The restaurant was located upstairs which I didn't check out but they also have a DJ spinning records up there as well. I would visit regularly if I didn't live in SF it's a pretty cool place and every Thursday you can see a really cool contemporary jazz band called Touch Acoustra.

Oh what a find. Friday night in Ad-Mo can be a bit dodgy if you're not into the gangsta frat-house scene but this place is a great oasis. The atmosphere is relaxed with a live band downstairs bangin out old-school salsa rhythms and a DJ mixing up techno and house beats upstairs. While the downstairs dance floor can get crowded it isn't dominated by hardcore salseros that look down on us lowly novices. All are welcome to dance here.
With a $5 cover and moderately priced drinks this place isn't a budget buster. Get there early for dinner and the cover is waived and the food is really good too. I stumbled into this place with my girfriend and it instantly became our go to Ad-Mo spot. -

After Habana Village did my friends and I dirty (you can't eat at the restaurant after 7 PM if you're underaged---uhm? Lies.), we decided to make our way to Bossa on 18th street. Having wanted to try out this place for quite some time, I wasn't disappointed.
The two of us who were of drinking age enjoyed a yummy caprinha with our appetizers as we waited for our entrees. which. took. forever. to come out. While I'd usually get all indignant and irritated by this sort of thing (inwardly, of course, because "special sauce" in my food does not appeal to me), the waitress apologized profusely and gave us caprinhas on the house---And free non-alcoholic beverages for my under 21 compadres. This small gesture was redeeming as far as I was concerned.
When our entrees finally did come out, not a single plate on our table was left unfinished.
Side Note: I will admit, however, that the small size of the restaurant caught us all by surprise. Thankfully, my friends and I arrived just in time to avoid any seating issues. -

I should have been alerted by the red flags of this place. After several failed attempts in trying to get through the phone line to make a reservation, I agreed to try one more time before moving one. Well, I got through after the tenth or so attempt.
After looking at the reviews, I thought this restaurant would have been a great place to have a birthday dinner with my friends. We showed up and the restaurant area was much smaller than I predicted. The total amount of seating in the whole restaurant was probably for twenty people or so. The food was subpar, while the drinks ran about $10 for 10oz of mojito (?)
I think this place would be fitting for an intimate date. However, I'd question any other occasion. -

Very clean. Different than any show that I have been to. Very chill atmosphere. However for a salsa bar I was confused that they didn't have Corona. Didn't smell like a locker room which is a change. Very lounge like with many seats.
I saw a show in the upstairs, and was surprised that the salsa dancing and salsa music downstairs didn't compete with one another.
The only thing is that it's in Adams Morgan, and there is literally no parking! I got a $100 ticket because I pulled in after another car and didn't realize there was a bus zone sign. Annoying. I'd go back if I had a personal driver... or found a garage or something because I hear the metro is a sketchy trek. -

This bar is uber-hip and filled with life. We went for a happy hour and ended staying there all night. The bar area is very comfortable. The atmophere is very chill and international. Brazilian music, lavish seating and great photography on the walls. I could easily see someone smoking a hooka or some cheeba here. Check out the Last Supper above the bar - it's a must see. It can be a bit crowded. Overall, a great place to go in Adam's Morgan. I hear the food is all organic - bonus!

If you aren't a fan of the typical Adam's Morgan bar, I urge you to check out Bossa before you give up totally on the whole bar strip. Friday nights there is live salsa down stairs which is pretty awesome. there's no lessons, but lots of people are dancing and you won't be judged if you don't do the steps right. There are some pretty sweet salsa dancers though, and they are fun to watch.
Upstairs doesn't really get crowded but the dj is really great. I think there's just not enough people that know the place exists or it would attract a bigger crowd. The back room that some reviewers were confused about is for dancers who wanna rock out to the dj's spins without being stared at by everyone who's in the bar area. (although they kind of still do stare when you're in there)
It's nice to have options of live music and salsa downstairs, with house/hip hop mix upstairs to mix up your night. No cover before 10 pm. -

I looove Bossa! I generally dislike bars in Adams Morgan due to the crowds and Jersey Shore-esque feel of it all (haha), but Bossa is totally different. The service was great even though the first time I stopped in I only ordered a drink. They were not pushy and were quick with our orders. Drinks are reasonably priced and there is always great music playing.

Hey there yelpers! So, I only go to Bossa once a month for the AfroBeat parties (every last Thursday) but I wanted to give the spot a shout out. I really like the vibe in here, very chill and I always meet someone interesting. The drinks are reasonably priced for DC. I am not in love with the bouncers, they are a little too in to being a bouncer but hey...they are just trying to do their job. Stop in a get a tast of something a little different!
