Non T-Swift fans beware… this place will destroy you. For the t swift fans, you’ll love it. Overall, a cute bar but as some of the other reviews say it’s very, very small. We had to wait outside for about twenty minutes, but the staff did bring us drinks while we were in line and setup a gas heater. Good options are minimal, but there are plenty of cocktails to choose from.

Went here on a Tuesday. Didn't really enjoy my time here. It's very small and on this day very warm and dry in the bar. Service was fine but drinks weren't that good. Ordered the grilled cheese and it wasn't good at all especially in comparison to the Maxwell in Shaw. It's the holidays so the decor was cool and nice to have around but we ended up not staying too long to try and find something that was a bit more fitting.

This festively decorated bar features Taylor Swift music and delicious holiday beverages. From an old fashioned to a peppermint rumchata shooter, to fancy Champagne, you can get it here. They have light fare like grilled cheese, bread, and charcuterie as well. Not a large venue but staff were efficient and entry was controlled so it never felt too cramped. There was a bit of a wait but they have gas heat lamp things and you can order drinks in line! Old fashioned was yummy though very orange forward. You have to get the peppermint shooters, actually delicious and a portion of each purchase goes to a good cause. Very fun.

Cute decoration… but the long line outside in the cold, paper cups for mulled wine, and room temperature/bland crab dip that we ate with our fingers (no silverware) was all very under whelming. We laughed it off and took a picture, then left to get better drinks/food.

I love this place!You tell them what you're in the mood for andthen voilà they make it happen! I appreciate that they’ll pour a little before you commit to a whole glass.I've had such an amazing variety of wines: rosé, orange (skin contact), white, red and dessert/port. It's like making your own wine flight since you can do 2.5oz or 5oz pours! They have an extensive global wine list that is constantly changing to keep up with your dynamic taste buds. I also love that they serve top notch cocktails in case you’re not in the mood for wine. The food is ever changing as well and who doesn’t love snacks and charcuterie with their wine?They offer private tastings and I booked one before they opened and it was a fun experience!

Great selection including some unique and unusual bottles. Love the idea of monthly themed menu's as well. A tad pricey, but the only thing like it in the Navy Yard.

Really impressed. Had the wagyu burger and it was amazing.

Limited wine and beer selection, and cocktails were meh. Small, cozy space. Friendly service.

My partner and I did the greenhouse experience at Maxwell- we had a fun time and had the space all to ourselves. The service was amazing and since we made a late reservation we got to stay there until closing. The greenhouse even has a Bluetooth speaker so you can play your own music. If you love eggnog you HAVE to try the eggnog shooter, it was amazing. I would recommend not going hungry though because it's mostly snack like good (caviar, charcuterie board, grilled cheese). If you decide to go with the caviar, get the russian one (it was way better than the other option) and definitely take advantage of the champagne special that comes with it. Fun time overall!

Everything about this place is great. Ambiance, service, wines, food...and location. Great date place and just hanging out place.

We ordered a reasonably-priced bottle of wine that turned out to be unavailable, so staff served us a comparable bottle that was twice the price without letting us know. Service was OK.

John Evans
