I've been here once and would definitely return! I loved the vibe of this bar and the unique drinks that were offered. It's dimly lit inside but gives a cozier, intimate vibe despite the bar being busy. I came with a few friends and we were able to get a pitcher of the pisco punch to share and it was definitely worth it! We also split the mozzarella balls and they were pretty tasty and the perfect snack to break up the night. Our waiter was also very friendly. I'd come back to try another type of cocktail because there's such a wide variety of unique cocktails that are served and they're under $20 which is always appreciated.

Came here after a concert & got a couple of drinks (Hurricane & Rose All Day) and some food (10 piece chicken nuggets & crinkle fries). The drinks are a 10/10! Extensive drink menu with tons of creative options. They weren't overly sweet, which I appreciated. The chicken nuggets were 10/10. Well seasoned and much bigger than I expected. The honey mustard was a little spicy too which was right up my alley. I love crinkle fries so those were amazing, not too salty and very fresh. The service was great. They were packed but we still received our drinks and food quickly. Parking is nearly non existent. This spot is on U Street so you gotta Uber, take the metro, or get parking in a garage somewhere

One of the top rated bars on the 50 Best Bars in North America, so I knew I had to come try it. I made a reservation in advance, but it seems like you can also just walk in. We were sat outside which was fine since by night time, DC cooled down a bit. Cocktails were affordable, at least more so than NYC. They have seasonal cocktails that were available as well. I ended up trying the Costa Del Sol Gin and Tonic. It was a light and refreshing drink. The citrus in it was great, and it was perfect for a warm night. The other drinks like the Pisco Punch and Rose All Day were great as well. There were items on the menu that were sold out which was surprising since we got there around 8pm. However, we ended up liking our drinks regardless.

Came here for drinks and a snack before a show at DC9 club. It was the perfect spot. The patio was lovely and so was our server! I had the mezcal cocktail and it was delicious - I could have drank several. Very well balanced and beautiful presentation. The Buffalo dip appetizer was also delicious. We had a great experience here and would come back if I am ever in the area. It's a rather small spot so I can imagine it gets loud inside and can be difficult to get a seat - thankfully that wasn't the case for us as it was a Sunday afternoon.
