This little dive bar off 7th Street has a unique atmosphere. The decorations are pretty cooky and the people are different than who I am usually around. They were playing some good 90s R&B which I loved! The drinks were overpriced in my opinion, but they were pretty yummy! The bartender was nice and made sure that we were ok. Overall, it's a cool spot if you are looking for something different.

Was there for a friend engagement celebration. I didn’t habrá the food but I had a drink. The atmosphere was very boho Puerto Rico. Love the colorful decor with bike frames. Great bar service. Bartender offered us to choose song selection which was cool.Parking: Typical DC neighborhood parking with restrictions. Take ride share.

Fabulous neighborhood bar with the nicest staff! They have a unique collection of spirits and can whip you up anything you want and will make something fun for you if you tell them what you like. One of the bartenders made me a fun drink with a house made raspberry syrup I really enjoyed. Seems like they change their menu often to feature new cocktails. Drinks are reasonably priced. COnsidering the quality I'd expect them to be more expensive but they fall in the $12-$15 range. Amazing place to get a quality cocktail that isn't $20. Fun decor and chill vibe. Came on a Friday night around 8pm. Not too crowded and space to sit at the bar. A great spot and can't wait to come back!

We accidentally ended up at The Passenger because we were at a nearby event that was WAY too crowded for our liking. Fortunately, The Passenger had a very chill Saturday night vibe that we needed. Our bartender was pretty great, and she even chatted with us for a little bit since the bar wasn't busy. The decorations (even without the holiday decorations) was a potpourri of Latin American randomness - something that I can enjoy in a bar. The Passenger had a very cool holiday cocktail list, especially with the names of the cocktails. For my holiday drinking pleasure, I went with the Mom's in Mexico for X-mas (tequila, grapefruit, lime, and rosemary) and Gringo Dat Stole X-mas (gin, cochi rosa, lime, ginger, absinthe). I thought BOTH drinks were beautifully prepared. If I had to pick between the two, I'd go with the Gringo Dat Stole X-mas because I'm more of a fan of gin over tequila. Compared to other similar spots in DC, I thought the cocktail prices were pretty reasonable. Although I live outside of DC, I definitely will add this place to my list of go-to spots.

Bartender tipped herself on a 9 dollar tab. Only gave me back 10 on 20. I think this is not good service.
Smelled really bad in here. It was my decision to try it out for my birthday one year, but no one wanted to stay too long because of it.

I can't rave about Passenger enough! Been going for years. Lovely bar staff. Amazing delish cocktails. Decent bar food. I love the decor and vibe of the place. It's never stuffy and the staff are super friendly.

Weak bar service. You are lucky if the bartender looks at you before they go take shots with their friends.

The Passenger is a nostalgic cocktail haven with a casual twist; a breath of fresh air compared to the overly trendy and pretentious establishments that dominate the scene.The bartender was a true mixology enthusiast, skilled in her craft, and passionate about recreating the magic of timeless drinks. She suggested personalized recommendations based on my preferences, and each cocktail was delicious.The patrons were a diverse mix of regulars and first-timers, all united in their shared appreciation for a great drink and good company. This small bar is a hidden treasure that shouldn't be missed.
Pass on through like siouxsie and have a
