Bring In the Noise

Jin Lounge

Between your cranky neighbors (“Turn that music down!”) and your high-strung cats (“meow!”), your apartment is no place to throw a party.

But is that any reason to abandon the good times promised by a Saturday night?

Move the revelry to Jin, a new Asian/Caribbean soul lounge (formerly Mango’s Fusion Cafe), for a good time in a space that caters to group outings.

The open-floor layout — red leather couches and low tables and ottomans — make the swanky venue ideal for your crew; sharable appetizers and small plates contribute to group bonding. Try the Rock Shrimp Lollipops (skewers in spicy almond sauce) or Jin Soul Rolls (bok choy, mushrooms, carrots, and dipping sauce) while sampling mango, pomegranate, and lychee martinis.

But be careful. A few of those tropical cocktails and you may get the urge to jump up and yell, “After-party at my place!”

Jin, 2017 14th Street NW, between U and V Streets (202-332-2104).
