    Miracle Pop Up Cocktails
    Alesia S.

    Visited for the Miracle Pop Up Bar. The drinks were good, but was disappointed that they were using rail for the price of the drinks. The service was friendly and quick, even though the place was packed. Thankfully, was able to grab the last 2 bar seats. The decorations were ok, a little lackluster for the holiday season.

    Went with a few friends to try the holiday drinks here - while the atmosphere was definitely fun and festive, the drinks themselves were just okay, one of them tasting very strong of nutmeg and cinnamon. The mugs were cute as well; as a note they keep your card until you return your mug or else they charge you for the missing mug.

    This place is a dive bar, but what made it a great dive bar was the service and attention Anthony paid to us. We rolled in and wanted to get some holiday drinks, since they were hosting the sippin' Santa pop-up. Drinks were good, not too sweet and sugary, which I made anthony promise me the drink wasn't. I adored the music that was playing and sung along to each song. Mix of rock/alternative/ska from the 90s through the late 00s. I was digging it so much that I asked Anthony what playlist this was and turns out it was his! He was kind enough to share it with me and now I've been passing it along to all my friends. This review is turning into more of a music review than a bar review, but I just wanted to say thank you Anthony! You have a great ear and your playlist just puts me in such a better mood. Can't wait to come back and visit again!

    A friend mentioned this place so I added to my itinerary in DC. Located upstairs, was a nice little dive joint with a great Whiskey selection! Bartender Justin was very helpful and knowledgeable so I asked him to make a couple of suggestions and they were both spot on! (See pics). Crowd was friendly and unassuming. Started chatting with a local guy at the bar and talked about bourbon and rye until I had to leave! Reasonable prices for 2 oz pours I felt and the atmosphere was casual and relaxing! I don't believe they had any food but a great menu for drinking your dinner. The kind of place that would turn into a regular stop if I lived in DC. Thanks Black Whiskey for a great evening and solid suggestions!

    On Thursday night my friends and I decided to go to this establishment to have a few cocktails and we asked the bartender for 3 cocktails . he served us 4 I told him we are only three why should we wanted a 4 drink and he got mad about the situation and started treating us like we nothing he said I made it now you pay it so I said I don't needed it and he got crazy andisrespectful, costumer service is terrible at this place please stay away from this place is not worthy to give them business we basically got discriminated for being Latinos or gay, managers please do something about this bartender!

    They have a great selection of whiskey's

    In D.C. for work and since I will be here a lot more often I set forth on finding a local pub to call my own and found Black Whiskey. It's small, dark but well stocked with whiskey and a really cool prohibition vibe. The bar takes up the majority of the space and sitting is ample at it but the rest of the place could use a little more. Bartenders are cool and from my experience knowledgeable about what's behind the bar as well as their specialty cocktails. During my visits it was never crowded to the point of being uncomfortable or loud enough for my friends and I not to hear each other. Only thing I wish they had was food I could have done with a few snacks while sipping on my Jameson Caskmates. Once it came time to close out my tap I was surprise at the very reasonable number I definitely thought it would be much higher because of the city and location but it was not. Will definitely be back.

    Pamplermousse

    Gorgeous bar, well curated whiskey list, great happy hour specials, free pool...yet when I stepped in one random Wednesday night it was completely crickets in here. I prompted my bartender about her suggestions but was met with little enthusiasm. I ended up ordering a Pamplemousse which I enjoyed but did not really feel like staying since the service seemed so aloof and the atmosphere dead. Also, no food menu (at least at happy hour). No Kushi moto food truck on site either. Apparently Friday and Saturdays have an active nightlife scene that includes an 80's dance party. Overall, I'd give it a second chance and hopefully an encounter with the illusive whiskey god Jack.

    Cool graffiti in the restrooms

    Damn good drinks. And amazing employees and staff, service was on point and weekend ambiance is supper fun and loud, weekdays are more payed back and whiskey focused.

    a pint of guinness on a bar

    Awesome bar! Great selection of whiskey and beer but honestly I mostly come here because the bartenders are amazing. If you're looking for a great experience look for Marc and Anthony those guys rock!!!

    Jack Rose is a unique experience that never disappoints. We had two seasonal drinks that were…read moreexcellent - the J Pop and Taiko - so much so that we both ordered the same ones twice! The bartender was the one who made the drink menu, and told us the inspiration and stories behind each drink. Not only were they incredibly tasty and complex, but his explanations served to enhance the experience. For food, we ordered fried green tomatoes, calamari, the jack smash burger, the crawfish rangoons, and the fig and pig. All were excellent. It was my friends first time eating fried green tomatoes, as well as any sort of Rangoon, and he gave them both the stamp of approval!

    Met a friend here. Forgot how much I like this place!! The atmosphere and the vibe were very cool…read more My friend is vegetarian and had other seafood dietary restrictions so there was only one thing on the menu he could eat- the corn agnoloti he liked it. And he liked his whiskey choices although they were out of the first one he ordered. I started with a whiskey sour- a drink I haven't had since I was at an Italian wedding! It was delicious. The I got the grilled Barramundi and it did not disappoint. The portion was big. We finished with an amazing pecans pie In which they brought out extra whip cream upon request. Highly recommend.
