The atmosphere was awesome! The cocktails were great! ... Why did I give it 3 stars? The server on the floor, I believe her name was Jennifer (or something like that - shorter lady with dark hair), her attitude was absolutely atrocious. Her attitude went completely against the vibe of this bar. You walk in, expecting to have a good time, and then you interact with her and you immediately want to leave. I would recommend for her to get a swift attitude adjustment, or find someone else who fits the bar's vibe more appropriately. The unfortunate thing is that all of the tables around us had the same experience. That cannot be good for the bar. Maybe she was having a bad day, but she needs to learn to compartmentalize, and be a proper ambassador of the establishment. Overall, impressed with the bar, not impressed with her. If she's working the floor, I recommend you sit at the bar, or prepare to be served by someone with a terrible attitude, likely to disrupt your experience. Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5

Man oh man where do I begin… my girlfriend and I came in today and were greeted by a friendly staff who seated us outside. The patio is so nice. All of the drinks we ordered were top notch and we got to enjoy the live jazz which is apparently every Thursday. What really did it for me was one of the wait staff came over to us and gave us bug spray to help fight off some pesky mosquitos. Whole experience was a 10/10 and it is easily my favorite place to drink now in DC. Can’t speak highly enough of how awesome the service was and the overall quality of the place. Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $100+

We had ordered a whisky and a cocktail, the glass the whisky came in was covered in salt so we asked the server if they could pour a new one. She poured the same cup of whisky into a new glass and served it to us. The whisky was salty (which was $22 a single measure!) and it was unfortunate that she didn’t care enough to pour a new dram into a clean glass given the price. She was very busy in her defense but we would have happily waited for a new pour. It is unsanitary to have a glass still half rimmed with salt from a previous drink and to just pour into a new glass. But maybe this is how this bar is run. Would not come back. Price per person $50–100 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 2

Nice cocktail place! I had the seafood paella, truffle fries and couple of their drinks. Food was just OK with g'town price tag on it. I really liked my drink: caviar and pearls, I was worried to mix fish eggs into my drink at first but it really brought the flavor out. Great service. I would go back for a date night. Great atmosphere. The bathtub drinks were just too cute.

Well it only took two years from my first visit to return ... and that was my loss. This remains one of the top five favorite places for a classic bourbon cocktail. What kind? Any kind. In a night that included here, Bourbon and Harold Blacks, this one was my favorite. And trust me. Those other places are five star recommend as well. So consider this a five + rating.

Super cute speakeasy. Reservations are necessary. The bartender was a joy and catered cocktails to your liking. The lamb chops were phenomenal. I would never have guessed adding Thai red curry to lamb chops would be “the way.” Can’t wait to return for jazz night. Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $30–50

Very cool entrance. Best speakeasy food I've yet to have! Most friendly bartenders and fantastic sevice I had in the whole city. Had my very first "Vespa" martini... The bartender knew the off-menu request recipe already and did not disappoint!!!
