50 Best Bars near Clinton

“The bartenders treat regulars better than others. You can order the same drink and get smaller glasses or cups than normal. Also if you order a drink such as a punch that needs to be shaken to mux properly they get lazy and just pour it and leave you to have to stor it. It does not taste the same. Plus they put very little alcohol in them. Shame not to feel welcome because you don't go every week. They stopped the dj through the week and they are boring with old timmers creepy male crowd on Thursdays especially. The food is the best and only reason to visit. Excellent cook.“

“First and foremost, be prepared to spend money if you come here. My bill was nearly $90 for just me. But, I had the best fried pickles I've ever had, a delicious chicken cordon blue grilled cheese sandwich, and many different craft brews which were all fantastic. The fruit beer in my pic is one of the best beers I've ever had. I love the self-pour, self-order system, but it's just pricey. Still, the whole experience was 5 stars for me!“

“Games and a gnosh to eat?! Absolutely!! I never knew this was here. I highly recommend this bar/restaurant/arcade.“

“Great dining experience, I will come to Old Ebbitt Grill again“

“This speakeasy in DC is awesome! It’s got plenty of space, so you’re not squished up against people, which is great. The wooden walls and red velvet chairs make it feel super fancy, like you’re stepping back in time or something. The drinks are really good—lots of options, and they all taste amazing. The vibe is chill but classy, and it’s a cool spot to hang out with friends or impress someone on a date. Definitely worth checking out!“

“Service is amazing. Friendly and efficient staff. Hotel is charming .“

“I hosted my 25th birthday party at Royal Sands this past weekend and had the most incredible time!! Rachel and the rest of her VIP team made planning the event seamless and they were so helpful leading up to the event. They took care of everything day-of so I didn't have to worry about a single thing except enjoying my event! The food was absolutely delicious, the drinks were amazing, and the music was excellent. If you're looking to host a party or event, you should definitely check out Royal Sands!“

“it's about time! Mocktails are my jam these days. Thanks so much for opening a cool bar I don't have to worry about a drunk fight or gun shots breaking out.“

“Just an all-around wonderful experience, I was able to pull right up sit down with my lovely puppy outside and enjoy one of the best brunches I’ve had in the long time“

“This review is dedicated to those reviewers who say Ama’s food is either ‘bland’ or they were ‘still hungry’ after eating there-

this is because you are used to eating at restaurants that use fake ingredients and artificial flavor enhancers, as do most in the country, so sorry but you have no idea what real food tastes like. Ama makes real food, intentionally and wholeheartedly. They partner with local farmers, cook with real ingredients, and create a menu that will leave you feeling satiated and wonderful, as my friends and i did even after we ate through the menu AND ordered 4 desserts at the end.

so yeah, their food isn’t ‘bland’ , you probably have just never tasted food that wasn’t grown in a lab and loaded with artificial flavoring and addictive chemicals. try harder!“

The cocktails were gorgeous and delicious! I recommend the Gimlet. Staff was attentive and knowledgeable. It was a perfect ending to our girls trip and I can't wait to bring my husband for date night!!! Highly recommend!“

“Came late night on a Wednesday just for drinks and this place did not disappoint! Drink menu by itself was creative well priced and expertly crafted. Tom was our Bartender who indulged all my cocktail questions and mods. Felt like I made a friend! Highly recommend.“

“If you’re in DC, Quill cocktail bar is the place to go. Its dim lit atmosphere and ambience provides such an intimate setting whether for friends and family or for business. You have your choice of sitting indoors or outside on their raised patio. Oh, and the service here is phenomenal! When you first sit, they bring you mixed nuts and olives and introduce themselves. Their cocktail menu may have only been just a page but if it’s not on there, they can definitely make it for you. My wife requested an Espresso Martini (non-menu) and it was the best of its kind she’s had yet. She also enjoyed the Ventura Highway, from their menu. My personal favorite of theirs was the “Johnny be Woode.” This became my go-to there. They do have a dinner menu as well. Their burger exceeded my expectations! Their desert menu impressed! The presentation was artwork and the flavors will surely make you long for more. Our server two of the three nights we were there was Andrew. Andrew made sure we had everything we needed and could possibly want. He provided absolutely excellent service, great humor, and pleasant conversation. On our third evening here, Amber greeted and served us. Amber is another gem at Quill, making recommendations on menu items as well as local recommendations around the town based off what my taste preferences are. Both Andrew and Amber had an awesome attitude and helped make our stay at the Jefferson Hotel just that much more memorable! The atmosphere, service, and great attitudes made for such a unique and satisfying experience that we ended each of our evenings, visiting Quill. Next time we’re in town, we will definitely be going back to Quill.“

“Simple, simple, honest place, without great pretensions. Very good service from the bartender and staff in general. Delicious and varied craft beers that are worth trying. Free popcorn. Clean and complete bathrooms. A must-see if you like beers on tap and a calm atmosphere with excellent music.“

“Today, I tried Fight Club. I found their lunch menu offered unique combinations of sandwiches and sides. Each sandwich contained flavors one might not normally pair. I enjoyed a Genoa Salami and Coleslaw Sandwich! It was absolutely fantastic! I’d place it in my top 5 sandwiches ever! If you’re looking for a wonderful dining experience, check out Fight Club DC!“

“We went there 3 evenings in a row. Bar at the top, waiter on Wednesday at the top, waitress on Thursday at the top. On the other hand, the waitress on Friday evening, a STÉPHANIE H, no smile and not pleasant. Too bad for the bar. We will not return for 4 evenings.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ STK Steakhouse - An Exceptional Dining Experience Incredible dining spot perfect for a pre-theater dinner! The venue itself is beautiful, and the food was absolutely delicious - I particularly enjoyed the seabass. What truly elevated the experience was the outstanding service. Special shoutout to Adam and Paige, who made my birthday dinner extra memorable by surprising me with a special dessert and champagne. The timing was perfect, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely meal before catching a play. Highly recommend STK for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience with impeccable service and fantastic cuisine!“

“Not recommended at all! Never ever coming back worst service ever!!“

“One of the best hospitality experiences we have ever had. My wife and I enjoyed a glass of wine in their lounge. The two bar tenders in the cafe were amazing. The hotel itself is beautiful and has an amazing vibe. Then we grabbed an espresso martini at their bar. Holy moly was it great. The attention to detail in making our drinks was remarkable. A tremendous amount of pride and love was put into each drink I saw the staff make. Every thing was perfect with our experience. The service, the drinks, and the atmosphere. This is a must stop if you are in Denver. Thank you for treating us so well!!“

“We were apartment hunting in the area when we stumbled upon this bar and decided to grab a couple of drinks before our next tour. We ended up having such an amazing time! The bartender was fantastic, offering us useful tips, and those green tea shots were absolutely delicious. Next time I'm here, I'll definitely be snapping some pictures!“

“When you think of a speakeasy… this place looks like what comes to mind. Down a flight of stairs leading to oversized doors you find yourself stepping back in time and greeted by a skilled bartender sporting a handlebar mustache. Great for an after dinner drink or to just hang out with friends.“

“Love the vibes here good cocktails good people great time.“

“This was some of the best food I’ve ever had. I would never normally choose Italian as a n “”out to eat” option but I’m so glad I did! I would eat here night after night if I could.“

“great time and the bartender was awesome!“

“Fijn personeel, leuke sfeer en goed eten! Zou zo maar onze stamkroeg kunnen zijn als we in Washington zouden wonen.“

“Great venue to see a variety of music. Standing and/or tables on the floor before the stage, depending on the act, with several standing tables adjacent to the bar, which services inside patrons as well as those sitting at a few tables out in front. Acoustics were awesome, and those who are hearing challenged that may wonder how "loud" it gets for, say, a fully outfitted band...it can be loud, but not uncomfortably so.“

“A cute little dive bar! Certainly got busy, which was nice, though it bordered too crowded at some points. This is really not the fault of the bar though, and shows instead that it’s loved by the community! Drinks were reasonably priced and darts were free to play.“

“This was SO MUCH FUN! It was easy to find with lots of parking at the location and such a great place for group gatherings. The skate and Pickleball courts were great and the venue was so easy to work with. You can also bring your own food in for birthday parties and other celebration gatherings! HIGHLY recommended and I will be back!“

“Absolutely the best Ramen in Town!“

“The hookah experience was absolutely amazing! I tried the Blueberry Mint flavor, and it was smooth and refreshing—definitely one of the best I’ve had. A special shoutout to Hennessy for providing top-notch service. He was attentive, professional, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

I also appreciated the cleanliness—everything was spotless, with fresh new hoses and high-quality equipment. Hennessy’s excellent customer service and great vibe truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an exceptional hookah night. Five stars all the way!“

“Nous avons passé une superbe soirée au Convivial. Merci à toute l’équipe et tout particulièrement au jeune serveur très gentil fan de dimitri Payet ainsi et surtout au chef toulonnais qui a régalé nos papilles en côtoyant l’excellence avec son poisson au pistou et les côtes d’agneau. Une petite famille du sud de la France, allez l’OM et le RC Toulon 😉.“

“You had me at Back Alley!! Great craft cocktails. Cool spot.“

“I really enjoy this place and the environment is fantastic, but my recent experience was marred by poor coordination between the servers. One server brought us the bill which paid, and then another approached us outside the place in an unprofessional manner, demanding payment. This awkward situation was disappointing, as it left a negative impression on what otherwise would have been a great visit.“

“Great place! Good eats and amazing staff!“

“I went to Hen Quarter Prime for Brunch on a Sunday and the food at the buffet was great, the only thing I wish was the crab legs were steamed instead of being on ice. But I understand that is difficult to do for a buffet setup. Z gave amazing service, my cup for the bottomless mimosa stayed runneth over. I will definitely be returning.“
