Possible end of an era in Adams Morgan – Is Bukom Cafe no more?!?

By Prince Of Petworth


2442 18th Street, NW

Ed. Note: Bukom celebrated 30 years in 2023.

“Bukom Restaurant & Lounge
DC’s # 1 Live Reggae Spot 🇯🇲 Serving the best West African Cuisine in the DMV since 1992.

At Bukom, we bring the soul of the islands to the heart of the city. Our stage comes alive with live performances that keep the rhythm flowing and the spirit high. Alongside the music, we serve up the rich flavors of Ghanaian and Caribbean cuisine — from smoky suya to spicy, mouthwatering favorites — bringing together a cultural experience that feeds both body and soul. More than just a venue, we’re a home for good food, good music, and good vibes.”

“Dear PoPville,

Almost afraid to ask, but anyone know what’s up with Bukom Cafe in Adams Morgan? Hours have been sporadic for a while but I haven’t seen it open in days.” (more…)
