    I reserved a table for 6 people in the outdoor area, which was covered and heated. It rained on this occasion, so we were grateful for both features! The bar doesn't do indoor reservations, I think due to limited space inside. I had a great time overall, with good service, food, and drink. I'm very grateful to the staff here for an excellent experience, and we will most certainly be back.

    We stumbled upon this place on our first visit to DC last year. We loved it so much we knew we had to stop by again. So pleased with our service, drinks and food. This place is gem!

    Old fashion wasn’t good, very sloppy. Other drinks were normal.
