A hidden gem! Dabney Cellar boasts an excellent wine list, and the space itself is beautifully designed, with its exposed red brick walls adding a cozy, rustic charm. While it was quite loud due to the number of people, which made conversation a bit challenging, the overall atmosphere more than made up for it. A great spot for wine lovers looking to enjoy a unique ambiance!

For upscale cocktails, great wines BTG, and fancy bar snacks, the intimate and absurdly charming Dabney Cellar is your joint.

Cute place, but for an upscale wine bar, I am surprised they are serving red wine so warm. It's hot in there, and the wine should be chilled at least a little below the room temperature.

A hidden gem that you absolutely cannot miss.
Dabney Cellar is THAT girl.
The wine? Immaculate. The snacks? Insane. The vibes? 10/10 The staff? 1000/10
As you can see the oysters here were so good we ordered a second round. In addition we shared the honey biscuits and deviled eggs, both of which I would say are life changing.
Small and cozy, Dabney Cellar is great to just chill out, have a date night, or go taste some GREAT wine and snacks. But no matter what you’re looking for in an adventure, make sure this location fits in there somewhere.
Go, go, go!

Such a cozy, intimate, hidden bar - great for a night cap with your date. I got the strawberry spritz and it was delicious! The playlist was wonderful.

I tried hosting an event there but Manager Megan was not very responsive and ultimately ghosted me. Shocking poor service from my personal favorite restaurant in DC.

I worked in restaurants for 10 years and tried so many cuisines and this place has a solid menu and flavorful dishes, def a menu that I’d be eager to try very soon!

Very overpriced. Second review first disappeared. Questionable location. Disappointed. Would not recommend. Was about to walk out to save myself $240. Staff was very good.

Overpriced. Little options to eat. Very small taps portions. Very disappointed
This is a basement. Very noisy when crowded. Nothing special here. The service is good. Some local (Virginia) wines are also served here.
Michael Jenkins
It's a perfect little place to skip into and enjoy good conversation and excellent cocktails. Highly recommended.

Incredible little underground bar with great food choices including amazing oysters. Only wish they had a bit better of a beer selection.. but over all epic.
