“From the cocktails to the service…our experience was top notch all around! Highly recommend!“

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.“

“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.“

“I came across this place by chance while walking around Washington, and it was such a great discovery! The concept is really cool — they have a self-serve tap system with around 99 different drink options to choose from, which was totally new to me. It’s a fun and interactive experience. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious too. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area!“

“This my first time here and it was probably one of the best experience I’ve ever had at a bar in DC . I’ll definitely be back for my birthday next week. Love the atmosphere“

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

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

“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!“

“Royal sands is amazing! We’ve been a couple times before but just hosted my boyfriend’s 25th birthday there and they were fantastic! They gave us the VIP treatment. The drinks and the food were all amazing as the staff! Thank you again!“

“I always just passed by this place in a hurry on the way to drop my kid off to school.
Today I decided to stop and try their Italian version of croissants.
Most of all , the service was amazing!
One of the people works there helped me was Maxwell.
He took a lot of time with smile to explain Italian pastries and coffee (They serve coffee from the oldest roaster in Italy!) He was such a jewel!
Thanks Maxwell! Your recommendation of apricots cornetto
It was excellent!“

“great staff. good beer deals. above average bar food. lots of TVs. awesome deck“

“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.“

“The brisket and pulled pork sandwiches were so good. All the drinks were top notch as well. Service was fast and the server was very attentive. Great place with great food!!“

“Amazing drinks. Amazing atmosphere. So happy for this team (Jane Jane) for expanding across the city! 12/10 for sure.

Drinks pictured are the Devil in a Red Dress( rocks glass) and Midnight Bloom (coupe). I didn’t get to partake in the cheese puffs but I’m very sure it was an honest mistake. So next time! While I don’t normally like tequila based drinks, the Devil in a Red Dress was a hit! Highly recommend!“

“So, here's the thing...feeling welcomed as soon as you walk in to a place you have never been before means so much. My husband and I were visiting DC. We were checking out places to eat near our hotel. We stopped in at Tune Inn. It was packed! The bar and all tables were full. The bartender welcomed us right away even though he was super busy. He told us to order a beer and hang out...the next table was ours. He handed us a happy hour drink menu and we did just that. Our waitress was on the ball. She was handling more tables than humanly possible but she made it look easy. Food was delicious!!!! An excellent find on our trip and obviously busy for a reason.“

“The Haymaker is a great cocktail bar and has some of the best and hardest working bartenders in DC. When we arrived, the bar counter seats were almost full. Three cocktails in and the whole place was packed with 90/95% having cocktails, our refills still came quickly. Why only 4 star? They have changed the food menu and not for the better. The dumplings are still great. We also had the quesadilla. My wife liked it, I thought it was generic. We both thought the loaded tots were a major fail, the 'load', what little there was of it, had all fallen off and was in the bottom of the bowl. The draft beer choice is also weak, with Goose Island being their premium beer. I hope they change up their menu for the better.“

“I came here to get some drinks for my birthday with a bigger party of about 12 people on a Saturday night. My wife called ahead and they were extremely friendly and accommodating, they allowed us to reserve some tables for our party and didn't ask for anything in return. Everyone from the bartender, the bouncer, and everyone who works here was extremely nice. I cannot recommend jackpot enough! You really made my birthday feel so special and I really appreciate you all!“

“A chill, super affirming space and the food and drinks were great! I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“Highly recommend this fun cocktail bar! We held a private event at Trouble Bird a couple of weeks ago, and it went so well! The location is perfect for a buy-out with a small group. Intimate enough while not feeling too small, and comfortable enough for everyone to sit and mingle.

Justin and Chris did an amazing job! The food was SO good, service was great, and the cocktails (including NA options!) were excellent! They took the time to work with us on the menu of drinks and food, which made our event feel special.“

“Very adult but relaxed lodge like atmosphere with great staff. An adult play room is more of what comes to mind. You can have a bite to eat with adult beverages play UNO with extra large cards, extra large scale Jenga, extra large oversized connect 4 or in there case connect 6. I have been here 3 times already and plan to visit again. Great date night or fun friends get together spot.“

“If you're looking for a simple and perfect bar experience, Last Call is the place to be. It's not over the top or crazy impressive—just a good, solid bar, which is hard to find in this area. Everywhere else we went, the drinks were expensive, with just one tab and four people drinking. City prices are always so high!

The owners of this bar aren't trying to make a crazy amount of money, which is refreshing. We actually got to enjoy drinks without feeling broke by the end of the night. Thank you, Last Call, for being an approachable bar scene.

However, if you want real food, get something to eat before you end your night here. The bar menu is simple and doesn't offer a lot of options.“

“Happy hour mini crab cakes were awesome!!!“

“Best bartenders in DC. I will not be explaining this, it is pure fact!“

“Amazing drinks and nibbles!“

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

“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!“

“Very unique setting... Literally, old metro subway cars make up the indoor bar area... Outdoor dining and bar areas gave this very unique... Also featured local vendors. Drinks were very reasonably priced. Did not have the opportunity to order anything to eat.“

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

“great time and the bartender was awesome!“

“Beautiful venue, good vibe, great times. My wife and I visited for a date night. We rented a small VIP room for ourselves. And had an amazing time. We got so carried away singing we actually extended our time by an hour! Will definitely be back again!“

“Let me start off by saying that my son and I had an excellent time watching Bit Brigade! We purchased the premium seating which in my opinion is only really premium If you can get lined up against the railing upstairs. There are some tables there, but you really can't see the band below from said tables. So basically you're paying extra to be able to go upstairs and hopefully get a spot by the railing or have access to some extra tables. Luckily there were some nice people next to us that let my kids sit up front so they can get a good view.
We got a pizza and it just wasn't very good and the fry portions they give were pretty lame. I do however recommend the pickled veg or smoked olives. The bar service was very attentive and quick so I did appreciate that.
Acoustics were great! The bass sounded great and the drums hit nicely.
This isn't really a problem with Pearl Street Harbor itself, but with any place in that general area - but parking was horrendous and getting there was extremely stressful.
Overall a really fun experience and now that I have a better lay of the land, I will likely be back again!“

“Absolutely the best Ramen in Town!“

“Spacious place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a laid back atmosphere.“

“Everything was greatly. The food was delicious!“

“This is exactly what we needed!!! The staff were fantastic and glass breaking is incredibly satisfying!!!“

“My first taste of East coast soul food and I must say it was delicious. Family business and I have been adopted into the family. I feel safe my baby bison has Uncle James, Mama Charlene and Aunty Nikki across the street from the School of Business at Howard University.“

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

“Amazing food, our waitress, Jasmine was amazing. Wish I could eat there every day.“

“My friends took me to Hen Quarter’s brunch for my birthday. It was a top tier experience! The food was great, especially since I’m a seafood lover; the drinks were bottomless and delicious; and the service was 10 out of 10. Tondelayo took great care of us and even sang me happy birthday at the end of our meal. I will definitely be going back and letting my friends know to hit this spot up immediately.“

“Amazing place ,definitely going back“

“My husband took me there to celebrate my birthday and I must say we had a wonderful time. The ambiance, service, the food was all A1 and we highly recommend this restaurant for a fine dining experience. Our server Rodrigo went above and beyond to make my birthday extra special.“

“I always have a good time when I go to Baystreet. I love the bartenders TG and Erica...and DJ Jealousy is the man! And of course Yani's smiling face when you get your wristband. Security is always cool too. Overall, nice, chill spot, no trouble, just grown folks having fun.“

“Cool place with live music outdoors!“
