Though I failed to get pics as I was on a phone call, the Red Ruby Sangria and the EasyCo Fries on HH are delicious. Not on HH, but still delicious--espresso martini.

You can pick out your little fruit or snack, from the grocery store, to go with your wine and they will add it to your tab. I ordered a glass of Criterion Pinot Grigio and the Charcuterie Plate Casalingo. Inexpensive, simple and tasty. Self Serve Wine Bar too. The staff was quite nice and helpful when I said it was my first time visiting. They didn't rush me. A good amount of people frequent the place too in just a matter of an hour. If you weren't paying attention, you would walk right by.... Get your wine tasting on and then go shopping.... Across the street from hotels, dog park and Smoke and Mirrors.

From the owner: Choose from 16 self-serve wines while you shop? Absolutely, plus 12 beers on tap.read more

If you're looking for a place in DC where the energy is unmatched, the music is flawless, and the…read moreentire vibe feels like an experience, not just a night out, then ZOOZ is it. From the moment you walk in, you're stepping into a visually stunning space that blends luxury with a lively, social atmosphere. The décor is bold and immersive, but what really sets this place apart is the music. Every track felt intentional, perfectly curated, and honestly some of the best I've heard at any venue in DC. It's the kind of place where you catch yourself staying longer than planned because the vibe just doesn't miss. The crowd is vibrant, the energy is high, and everything flows effortlessly from the drinks to the overall experience. Whether you're out for a celebration, a night with friends, or just want to elevate your weekend, ZOOZ delivers on every level. DC has a lot of spots, but very few truly stand out. This is one of them. I'll absolutely be back.

When I heard that this was the after party for the event ceremony I was a part of, I was pretty…read moreexcited. But upon arrival, I realized that they changed a few things. They had a late night happy hour that was really the allure for random weeknights, and I thought it it made them stand out among others in the area. Unless it's some secret menu item now (I don't think it is), the late night happy hours gone. But this was the most full I had seen ZOOZ, and I was so happy for them. But it didn't seem like they were :/. All the times I have been here, I had always said to myself that I wish they were more crowded because people are missing out. But something was up with the staff that night, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on! Between the lack of happy hour and the staff, the vibe was off, completely. Maybe I would stop in during when they're happy hour actually is now, but otherwise I wouldn't be back.

I visited The Eastern last Sunday for some chilled wine on a hot day. The Eastern is a wine bar in…read moreEastern Market, and it has an incredible and very interested wine list. (They also had food, but I was just there to cool down over some wine.) I love that their menu is divided so helpfully ("If you like... Chardonnay," "If you like... Chilled Red"). They were out of several of their wines (all the chilled reds, I believe), but they still had plenty to choose from. I ordered two different wines from "If you like... Getting a Little Weird," because I do like getting a little weird with wine. I had a glass of a Usonia wine (Cayuga) and a McPherson Cellars wine (Marsanne). Both were as promised - great and a little weird. The service was good, and the bar had great vibes and indoor and outdoor seating. I sat at the inside bar and read my book over two glasses of wine. I'd come back and repeat this over and over. I look forward to trying more of their wines.

Food service was also super attentive and kind. The bar area was a decently large space perfect for dining inside after a long day. We were lucky enough to have come before the rain and had great views as the sun set. The food was fresh, flavorful, and we loved everything we had. Ceviche, octopus, and muscles were spectacular but loved the fresh oysters too (clearly since I forgot a photo). Will absolutely be back for custom cocktails and great service.

It was just okay A bit pricey given the amount of food given The major issue I have with this place is the ambience. The inside seating is really small and really strange. They set us, a party of three, at a sort of bar that was centered around Frozen seafood so it was hard for us to sit around. There weren't too many tables for people to face each other which is also a little bit strange they do have outdoor seating but the view honestly isn't something that I would recommend for outdoor seating even though it's on the wharf Parking in this area is really tough. Either take an Uber or plan to pay for parking or come at an Nothing else really stood out. I doubt I will come back here.

Very solid and enjoyable dinner spot on the wharf…read more Dozen mixed oysters (9.5/10) were super fresh, briny and delicious. Crab cake sandwich (8/10): tender, enjoyable but not revelatory. Hushpuppies: (9.5/10) piping hot, light, poppable. They were a hit! Chili carrots (9/10): damn good for a side of baby carrots: warm, sweet with just a touch of heat. Brussels sprouts (9.5/10): they do them right: nice char, well seasoned, packed with flavor. BBQ Oysters: 10/10: gigantic! Some of the biggest oysters I've ever seen, cheesy, with a nice broil. Served 6 to a plate. Service was friendly if a bit inattentive, because it was quite busy. We were glad to get a table outside on the patio to enjoy the views of the water and the warm weather (before all of the Canadian fire smoke came down). Very enjoyable dinner spot.

The drinks are kind of pricey otherwise, up to $25 for a cocktail! But the happy hour deals are amazing! We started with a rum punch bowl for $22 and holy crap it was strong! It's also so cute and ready for Instagram, and every time one of us lifted it to drink we felt like Poseidon. From there were got some apps to share. The nachos were pretty good and had a unique flavor profile, and you can't beat $12 for nachos in DC! We continued with $5 mini frozen drinks and wow were those a deal! They were super strong and also super cute! A friend got the Pain Killa and again for $9 it was a steal and the most delicious drink we had. Someone also came by with free Jell-O shots and they matched the mood of our night! The whole bar is fun with quirky decorations and great views. I'm sure it gets really busy during nice weather. Plan for it and come for the best deals during happy hour.

3.5. I would come back here again but with caveats. Vibes and concept are 4 stars for sure. Service…read morewas a little lax but very personable so that is fine. But what landed me on a 3 was value, specifically for my shrimp po boy which, at $18, was literally 3 shrimp on a hot dog bun. See the pic. It comes with broccoli but I had them sub tots. I just have a hard time with the idea that some broccoli, a single hot dog bun and 3 shrimp are worth $18. The fried rice was a much better value in both portion and quality and our s'mores platter was pricey at $18 but also quite ample. Drinks were strong. Not necessarily good. But strong. So whether these drinks were 3 or 4 stars for you depends on your goals. Overall, is this somewhere I would go out of my way to visit? No. Is it a chill easy hang if you're already in the area and need somewhere to drink while waiting to do something else at the Wharf or if you work in that area? Sure. Do I like that it is chiller and less bougie than the rest of the Wharf? Absolutely. I just feel like your best bet is to come and have a beer.

Not to be confused with Free State Distillery in Upper Marlboro (though many also call it Arthur…read moreWheeler Spirits haha), this place is located just off of the main street in chinatown, and it's surprisingly lowkey. It's a basement bar with a bit of a dive vibe, but it's hard to ignore the nautical, blue crab theme throughout. Turns out that one of the owners is a Marylander, which is cool to see reflected in the decor in a place in dc, even though it is next door. They have a happy hour and they have a great variety of drinks in general. It's bring-your-own-food (BYOF) and there are a bunch of delicious looking Asian spots nearby, including upstairs. It didn't start getting crowded until closer to 10, which, as I said, is surprising for this part of town to me. Everywhere in Chinatown is not going to be packed and busy, and this place is here to remind you of that. Stop by if you're looking for a more chill vibe. Staff are pretty cool.

Venue: Ginormous - and yet it was packed. Huge bar downstairs and there's one in the rooftop as well.

Loved the honey comb that complimented the soft cheese we ordered. Had some wine flights and went very well with what we ordered.
