This used to be one of my favorite cocktail bars in DC. I do think the servers/staff are great and in general the bar has a nice atmosphere. However the prices have gotten out of control. Recently paid for entrance to the Pop-Up Christmas theme they have going on; it was cute but honestly was not that much different from other Decembers I’ve been to this bar. It included 1 glass of champagne.
The drinks are around $22 and mocktails at $14. You get a very small serving. Please don’t bother with the food; that’s where I really messed up. The quality is Not there and the prices are egregious. I paid $8 for an “assorted candy bowl” which contained mini gummy bears, gummy worms, and 3 peppermints. Literally dollar store candy at about 8x the price. There’s also a service charge added to the bill. I was in no way expecting to spend over $100 here after a mediocre pizza the size of my hand, dollar store candy, 1 mocktail, and 1 cocktail. Really a disgrace.

Went to the Elf on the Shelf pop up bar. Excellent drinks. Excellent service. The bar is beautifully decorated with flying elves and some sitting on the different areas of the bar. Of course there is s picture area where you can pretend to be an elf in a mug. Overall great experience and good vibes!

Came here after a conference; perfect place to unwind with delicious cocktails and easy bites. Our bartender, Alia, was super helpful, friendly and made the visit even better. Best part about this place, other than the service, is the detail and craft they put into their drinks. It’s a standard two oz pour, so happy hour, is indeed, happy. Cheers!

The cocktails are the star of the show. The bartender/owner is an absolute gem. We came here because it was close to our hotel and we wanted a to have a drink or two and we’re not disappointed. If you’re looking for somewhere that truly can make a craft cocktail, this is your place.

I visited a Korean pop-up event and had a fantastic tasting experience. The rose tteokbokki, japchae, and bulgogi bowl were all outstanding. When I asked for a cocktail pairing, they recommended the Banana Republic—a bourbon-based drink. As a wine drinker, I’d describe it as having a full body, excellent depth, and a great finish. The addition of a lemon garnish brought out a lively acidity, creating a beautifully balanced cocktail overall.
I am usually blessed to provide great reviews but unfortunately that is not the case this time.
The sign outside says that they close at 12 on weeknights but at about 5 minutes to 10pm, my group was turned away despite having multiple empty tables and people of another ethnicity at the bar.
While I'm not quick to share reviews like this, I was informed that they have been turning people from our group away all weekend!!
We have over 25,000 women here this week and it's very disappointing because it's one of the closest restaurants to the convention center,
