50 Best Cocktail Bars near Lanham

“Comedy show was good. We laughed. The decor is nice and simple. Like the black and white portraits all around the room and black decor with white bar. Food left a lot to be desired that is reason for rating. They didn't have at least 3 things from off their menu. We would go back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best in town for food and drinks.“

“Omg best place in dc will come again“

“Amazing cocktails and wonderful cuisine! Cool atmosphere and timely reservations!“

“After a rough day at work, I wanted to have a cocktail and kick back. The music, the vibes, the kindness of staff, the care in which the cocktails are crafted… this is THE PLACE.

“the food and service was amazing“

“We're staying in the area for work, and we stopped here for dinner. All I can say is that the coconut soup is the best you'll ever try. It's absolutely amazing. The rest of our food was good as well, but that stood out as the best I've ever had in my entire life. I may come back again just for that.“

“What a great place ! I’m Swiss and very critical when it comes to “ Swiss restaurants “ in other countries. The best Kalbs Bratwurst und Rösti. The Vermicelli tasted just like at home. Great hospitality. And fair prices. THANK YOU FOR A HOME EXPERIENCE AWAY FROM HOME“

“Bistro Cacao was an outstanding choice to cater lunch for a very important business meeting. The food was AMAZING, from appetizers, salad, main course and dessert! Highly recommend them for your next event, meeting or just a fine place to dine!! Great Service, Great Food, Great Presentation!“

“Good food, highly recommend the National Premium beer (dashingly crisp and dry). Service was fantastic. Feel slightly betrayed by the small portion size since the croquettes were $14. Overall, solid establishment that kept service great even late into the night (reservation was at 9pm).“

“Salmon avocado toast was absolutely superb!“

“Amazing food! Great server and wait staff. Creative and unique. Would go again!“

“Dining in DC, is paying for ambiance. Pascual was a wonderful ambiance in learning the finer elements of Mexican cuisine.

NO SALSA IN CHIPS

Guacamole was tasty but it wasn't until I built the perfect bite with the braised lamb neck did I appreciate the understatement of its balance. My friend very much enjoyed her Octopus, she got crispy she'll to accompany her dish.

The bunuelo was a nice finish, but there was the option of flan w/chocolate. The flan was good but had bitters from dark chocolate that gave the taste of espresso.

I would not dine here again personally, but it makes for a really nice backdrop of a lovely dinner.

Vegetarian options: Seafood allergy, a lot of possible cross contamination, limits your choices. However the choices are still very delicious.“

“My boyfriend loves their wings and my sandwich was delicious. The thing that really makes this place is the staff. We met the owner/chef and he truly cares about his food. I highly recommend this place.“

“Very authentic food. I had the fish taco. First time eating them and being their. Very nice.“

“This place is intoxicating!! The decor is very Gatsbyesque! Totally cool private gin club speakeasy vibe. Went here for after dinner drinks with my girlfriends and it really hit the mark! 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.“

“I’ve been searching for a consistently good Indian spot that has all the essentials without being overpriced or too fancy for years and this place definitely hit all the marks. The Lamb Saag and garlic naan was so good and perfectly spicy. The mango lassi and vegetable samosas were also exactly what I needed. This will for sure be my go to Indian food spot moving forward. Great job guys.“

“Great cocktails and small bites. Always a great time.“

“spacious inside. some seating outside as well.. good place to eat, drink, and view art.“

“Dinner at Pastis was good, but I won’t try the duck confit again. This is was my second visit to Pastis. The onion soup and calamari were very good. My friend’s steak frites were excellent. The crème brûlée was great. But I feel sorry for the poor duck that gave up its life for the duck confit I was served. Duck confit if supposed to be rich in flavor with meat that falls off the bone at the slightest touch. This was a tough duck leg that resisted most of my efforts to cut off a few bites of meat. It was not good. Oh, well.“

“I got their exactly 950pm and the bartender and waitress were very friendly and nice , the kitchen was just about or closing but rather than say sorry it’s too late they checked with the kitchen and they made us the 3 best burgers and fries , it was all delicious . We got double burgers and fries and honestly the price to me like any other good burgers but these were better was reasonable, the quality was good . We’ll be back for sure , compliments to the chef .“

“Great service, delicious food, and an amazing atmosphere!“

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

“CHECK OUT THERE SATURDAY NIGHT PARTY ITS VIBES!“

“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!“

“Great food! Great service! Great people!“

“A concept created during the pandemic, I’m so glad it’s back inside Shilling Canning Company. Available inside and to go, there are six sandwiches on the menu and a weekend breakfast burrito. Every part of the sandwich is created in house except for raising the animals for the meat.Trying every sandwich at their launch party, every single one was delicious, especially with the housemade buns. However, my favorite was the “Chivito” with beef, ham, bacon, egg, and more. The “Ampburger” tastes like a gourmet Big Mac and it’s everything.Their wedge fries are crispy and nice. The homemade chocolate chip cookies are chocolate heavy and always warm. So good!They also sell Mexican Coca-Cola and Sprite in glass bottles.Service is always excellent and street or a paid parking lot are nearby.“

“Friendly staff and good food cooked to order!“

“Great food Great Service Beautiful atmosphere. Was luck enough to be served by Terri and Lisa September 2024, they were so friendly nice and easy. My office had a small retirement party and the staff Teri/Lisa and Jim were happy to help ... The food was amazing but the Service was phenomenal... we will be back!!“

“No menus. No options for menus. No list of places. No signs saying what anyone offers (except for Linda's). Switching between eateries in a drop down is a hassle. Have not tried to food, but would not recommend solely on ordering experience. I wouldn't have had my phone out to write this review if there was any option other than QR menus“

“I stopped by Dionne’s for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon and there was no line. The food came out within 10 minutes. I got the sliders and the crab fries. The crab fries were loaded and the sliders were delicious. The price was also right as this came in just under $20 with tip.“

“We had a wonderful experience at the best tacos that we’ve ever had in DC here! Esmeralda was a wonderful waitress and the environment was super fun and authentic!“

“great seafood, will come back!“

“I love this place. The energy is great. The ladies that work at the counter are thoughtful and fun. Service is quick and easy; they accept most forms of payment (including EBT). But what I'm here to post about is cook Mama Lo's AMAZING fish and grits. It's perfect. Real grits, cheese creamy sauce, and the best fish fry in DC. Excellent, bar none. At $15, it's a great big, takeaway dish that can be split between 2 people or eaten over two meals. Or one if you're really hungry. Delicious!“

“Quality and taste wise amazing! The lamb could’ve been bigger portions but the chicken schnitzel was ample portions. The drinks were delicious. Would be interested in coming back for the chefs tasting menu. The bartender Mike Ross was super friendly and a delight to talk to!

Gave it a 4 because I felt the drinks could’ve been stronger for the price and the lamb portions could’ve been bigger. The shrimp appetizer was also a bit too salty.

The rooftop was a vibe for sure. Looked beautiful once the sun started setting!

Dietary restrictions: Weren’t able to modify dishes to fit dairy free but suggested dishes on their menu that were dairy free.“

“I had a 30 year high school reunion on May 3, 2024 at 3 pm. Everyone had a great time meeting with old friends again. The restaurant is quite spacious and accommodating for our needs.“

“Here is where you will have a good time. If you like good drinks, good food, and laughter. District daquris is the place to go to. The staff is nice the hookahs are great. Come enjoy yourself with friends. The owners are fun and make sure every guest is taken care of. Great place!!!!!“

“What a gem of a local bar!
We sat at the bar, lived every drink, had amazing and kind service from the staff who made amazing drinks and who were great welcoming us.
This is the definition of a local, easy-going bar, yet with tasty and elaborated cocktails.
Needless to say the fact they produce their own rum on site is unique.
Loved it!“

“This place was amazing! I went here tonight for my anniversary the food quality blew me away! It is an expensive restaurant but it is worth it because of the experience. I would definitely recommend anybody to come here and I will come here again myself! Thank you for a lovely dinner“

“Imma hip you now, the tostone nachos with the shrimp *chefs kiss* and their spin on. Eggs Benedict is also good. Beautiful food that's looks just as good as ot tastes.

Kid-friendliness: During a certain time of day its family friendly. After 5pm it's still a chill vibe but remember adults don't give a jolly good damn bout your kids. I came to drink FINE DRINKS LIKE IM NOT IN DC??‍♀️“

“Excellent food. Great service. Friendly atmosphere.“

“Had a fantastic time food and service was great a very relaxing atmosphere“

“Buffalo & Bergen Review: Great Breakfast Spot with Good Bagels

Located in Union Market, Buffalo & Bergen is a great place for breakfast if you're in the area. The bagels are good, and the overall food quality is great for the price (relative to other stands in Union Market). The counter service can be hit or miss, but one older gentleman with a clean-shaven head, who used to work a contractor/gov job, was fantastic. Overall, it's a solid choice for a satisfying breakfast.“

“Enjoyed a delicious breakfast. We got The Morrow (eggs, bacon/sausage, potatoes, and toast) and the Greek Yogurt Parfait. The yogurt was high quality, thick but not too tart. Beautiful fruit, cocoa nibs, and honey. We liked these dishes so much that we got the same thing the next day.“
