Really excellent experience. Got the flight of cocktails, and really enjoyed each and every drink. Also, great service.

Ali was gracious, thoughtful and made the experience something to remember as our bartender. Everything from drinks to the bites we got were perfect and all the staff we interacted with was professional and welcoming. Best cocktail bar in DC in our opinion.

Book time for the cocktail flight! If you can't, drop in for a unique cocktail and a snack and ask the servers about their chemistry machines

Never disappointed. Took my (adult) son out as a belated bday celebration. The drinks were amazing and the nibbles were fantastic. We had the truffle grilled cheese and a waffle flight. We never felt rushed and the bartender helped us pick amazing drinks. Barmini is such a special place. And the prices are, amazingly, comparable to places with good drinks and okay service. And here you get amazing drinks and perfect service.

I don't usually write reviews but our experience was barmini was just too wonderful not to give them five stars. Our server, Ali, who is also one of the masterminds behind the menu, led us through a delightful tasting of some of the most imaginative cocktails I have had. Our favorite was the Soup Du Jour, the food/cocktail pairing was perfect. I'll warn, the cocktail flight is a lot of cocktails! There are six of them and each are almost full size cocktails. Our server told us that in total it is like drinking 4 full size cocktails. The two of us split one flight and it was a perfect amount for both of us. We were celebrating my girlfriend's birthday, and barmini wrote a birthday card for her that they had waiting on the table for us when we arrived, and they brought us a complimentary (and delicious) ice cream sandwich at the end of the cocktail flight. Would recommend bar mini (and the tasting flight) to anyone who wants a special night out.

The experience at barmini was out of this world. It was our two year anniversary and they made it very special! We will for sure be back.

What an amazing experience! Drinks were creative and the servers were incredible. The snacks were delicious. Overall a fantastic and fun night.
Brandon Richardson
Excellent atmosphere, and even better bartenders/hosts. The flight was absolutely worth it as each individual drink was crafted by a separate bartender and is each unique in a myriad of ways. Make a reservation ahead of time to guarantee a good spot and time.

Absolutely spellbound by this exquisite cocktail bar. Service was impeccable and attentive. The bartenders are meticulous in their craft and their creations are world-class (you must try The Highlander). Barmini is a true delight elevating what the cocktail experience should be. Bravo!
My husband and I had drinks at Barmini for the first time Friday night. We didn't have a reservation but got a seat on one of the couches in the back corner. The atmosphere had sort of a hipster meets tech startup vibe. We both loved our drinks and the service was outstanding. Keyei made us feel right at home and was extremely knowledgeable. The grilled cheese was the best I've had in my life. Thanks for a great evening.

The staff was amazingly understanding if we didn't like the taste of a drink during the flight and were happy to replace it with something else to our liking.
