Great food, service, and drinks. Our server Hayden was fantastic. Whiskey selection is unparalleled.
Intimate local bar with the most amazing selection of whiskeys that I've ever seen and great bartenders.

Jack Rose Dining Saloon is such a cool spot for whiskey lovers and anyone who enjoys a cozy, rustic atmosphere. The selection of whiskeys is seriously impressive—there’s something for everyone, from beginners to connoisseurs. I loved how the bartenders took the time to recommend drinks based on my taste preferences.
The food pairs really well with the drinks. I tried the pretzel with beer cheese dip and the pork belly—both were delicious and perfectly seasoned. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with beautiful wood accents and a relaxed vibe that makes it easy to settle in for the evening.
Service was friendly and knowledgeable, though it got a bit busy, so things moved a little slower than usual. Overall, Jack Rose is a fantastic spot for a night out with friends or a casual date. I’ll definitely be back to try more from their extensive whiskey menu!

Extensive bourbon, scotch and whiskey list, little food (a few appetizers). One of the best whiskey bars in the Washington DC area. The food is really good and a great date night spot for people who are into whisky's. The second floor is a little more of a standard bar.

Saying they have an extensive selection of whiskey and bourbon is a bit of an understatement. Jack Rose is known in the whiskey community as THE place to go to while in DC.

While visiting D.C. we had an excellent experience at Jack Rose Dining Saloon. A close friend that used to live in the D.C. area suggested we have a meal here since he knew we appreciated fine bourbons.
The staff were very professional and knowledgeable, while still being friendly. The service was excellent, with little wait for placing our order and the meal was prepared and delivered quite fast.
We had the Spring Salad and added the Blackened Grilled Chicken. The salad was very fresh and included oak lettuce, asparagus, english peas, radish, feta, spiced sunflower brittle, with a delightful herb vinaigrette. The salad was very filling and is highly recommended. We also had the English Pea Risotto which came with a healthy portion and was perfectly prepared. Both are highly recommended.
The restaurant decor has the perfect vibe. It has a somewhat speakeasy feel to it, but also has just the right of modern touches to make the space very attractive and yet comfortable. The woodwork, the exposed brick, high ceiling, and even the tables add to the attractive decor. The walls, yes multiple walls, of floor to ceiling bottles are what make the space truly impressive. The space is cozy and time spent here is quite enjoyable.
The bourbon and whiskey selection is simply amazing! It is almost overwhelming with the variety of rare bourbons that they have available for pours. Highly recommended to stop here if you want to enjoy a hard-to-find bourbon or even for a great meal.

I was excited to visit after a recommendation, but I felt overlooked and unwelcome by both Christian and the bartender who greeted me. Adam acknowledged me—he was kind and professional despite being busy. I left him a generous tip for his attentiveness, but overall, I didn’t feel treated with the same respect as others.

I've only been for drinks. They have the largest selection of whiskey that I've ever seen. The folks behind the bar do an excellent job asking the right questions and picking new whiskeys to try

I LOVE a whiskey bar vibe! I had really high hopes for this place - a pdf of 82 pages detailing all their whiskey??? Yes please!!
We're my expectations too high? Maybe. My drink was good - an interesting experience but not something I'd ever order again. But the biggest reason I'm rating low was the noise! It was so loud in there! Not quite the whiskey bar vibes I was expecting when this place was recommended.

For a cocktail bar with the largest collection of whiskeys, I'd expect something different. It was very much a bro-y going out after work bar. Way too loud so we left. Drinks were nice. The bartenders were on it!
