This place a vibey underground gem!…read more My friend recommended we stop here before our concert, and it was the perfect start to our night. We made a last minute reservations (highly recommended) and we were promptly seated and served. After reviewing the menu, I opted for a mocktail creation called Dealer's Choice-which is a specially curated mocktail based on your preference and palette. Our server did a great job in making this a refreshing mocktail, but recommended she add a small amount of gin to it. And it was good and well balanced. The place is neat and gives a cavern style, and it is underground basement level. Drink prices were about $17-22. And gratuity is added to the bill. Overall, highly recommend!

I had one cocktail, a Margarita with Mezcal tequila served with Tajin on the rim and slice of lime. It was nicely made and well presented. Service was great.

The gold…read morerum and allspice dram are standouts, plus they have the best coconut rum I have ever tasted. It is less sweet than something like Malibu but has a strong, smooth coconut flavor. It is truly a marvel. The distillery does a great job at providing a great on-site bar experience, too. It is dim for a nice mood, always has a great playlist, and their cocktail list is always changing and always interesting. It is winter time, which means it's coquito time. La Famosa makes the world's best coquito, and it showcases C&R's rum nicely. If you want to keep it simpler, their rum old fashioned is delicious, too. They do not sell beer or wine, just rum, but with rum this good, who cares. They make a bunch of interesting, small batch rums throughout the year, and they work very well in cocktails, you will find something you like no matter what you like. They have been rocking at this spot for over nine years, now, so that really tells you something about their quality. They have earned a spot in the DC pantheon.

I think they take reservations but we were able to grab a bar spot. Are drinks pricey? What do you think? It's a cocktail bar in DC. The drinks we tried were pretty tasty, even the mezcal one which I thought was a refreshing take. The wall shows some of the drinks on the menu and the ingredients/glass it comes in which I thought was a nice touch. Bartenders were friendly but not too chatty as they were super busy but you never waited long for a drink. The bourbon drink with the whipped honey was our favorite but the gin drink that was pink was also fantastic. For food I did try the buffalo chicken dip, pretty large and tasty (not too spicy) and loved the super crisp celery and the fritos. Clean, trendy bathrooms, nice vibes throughout the whole spot for pictures, great for a night cap or pre-dinner drink.

Our bartender was Gaylan and he was great--had great reccs, laughed with us a bit, all around great guy. The 'let me just say this' was so soo good! It tasted like a rainbow--just bright and with a really delicious after taste. I should have stopped at the rose but after my trying my friend's, i had to have one! We initially came for happy hour, but moved to the cocktail menu. The hh was a bit limited, but the drinks were priced overall pretty reasonably for the area. My one complaint is the wine glasses were so teeny. Overall though, I would recommend this bar. Bonus: cheese balls when you sit down! I believe there is also a limited food menu (think nachos) for the after work or late night crowd.

I can tell you that a full meal is doable here even though it is mainly a bar. Given the tiny space and bar-only seating, it is not comfortable to stay too long, but we did enjoy the various dishes. We got everything on the menu except for the chip & the tomato dishes, ordered a drink each, and the bill came out to $175 (there is a 20% automatic gratuity, which the server pointed out to us). While we were there, we were the only ones to eat a full meal. We clocked an hour, while others didn't stay as long as we did. The confit duck leg was our least favorite dish; we didn't think the flavors worked well together. We really loved the pan de playa (crab sandwich)! Desserts were yummy. I had the most expensive drink at $22- Summers, Horses, Dreams. It was sweet, just how I like my drinks, but the glass seemed small. My husband had the Ni de aqui ni de alla, and he approved of it. There's a $10 per person deposit when booking reservations. The deposit goes toward your final bill, but you forfeit it if you're a no-show. They didn't have a phone number on their website (or Yelp or Google), so I was nervous when we were going to be late, but I was relieved they texted us when we were 15 minutes late to ask if we still planned to show.

It is an extremely loud and tight (at least on the weekends), which may not be ideal for wanting to converse with who you came with easily.

Husband couldn't read the menu, can't use your phone for that, he was leaning up against a wall, can't do that, finally snagged seats on a couch, feet off table. We had two drinks and enjoyed about 20 minutes in here and went off to find something to eat. Definitely work a stop if you are nearby or in the area. It's a cool experience. One thing og note: They do not really deviate from their limited menu of drinks. These bartenders are not like those of speakeasy's from other, larger cities I've been to. I don't drink alcohol at all, so, I tend to ask them to make me a mocktail. They didn't seem very inventive and only offered basically ginger beer in a cup for $14.

Unfortunately the kitchen was closed by the time I arrived so I can not review anything about food.

The staff here really take care of you; and make sure that you get your order in if it's busy. On a busy saturday night, that's much appreciated! I will definitely have to try out their food next time; a must visit for those who seek good irish food and drinks ranging from beers to good mixed drinks!

From the moment we arrived, the experience felt thoughtful and welcoming. Our server, Josh, was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely kind. His recommendations helped guide us through the menu and made choosing our dishes feel effortless. Every plate that came to the table was beautifully balanced and deeply flavorful. Compliments to the chef and the entire kitchen team--each dish felt carefully composed and satisfying. Highlights for us included the oysters Rockefeller, shrimp toast, and a perfectly prepared crispy skin rockfish. The coconut rice is really something special. Even the desserts were memorable; the orange dreamsicle pie and chocolate pot de crème were a wonderful way to end the evening. The restaurant itself is charmingly decorated, with tables spaced comfortably apart so the dining room feels relaxed rather than crowded. It's the kind of space where you can settle in and really enjoy the evening. My partner's cocktail and a lovely Cabernet Franc were both a pleasure to the eye, nose, and palate, pairing beautifully with the meal. All in all, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish.

Here's everything we enjoyed and didn't enjoy as much ... + IPA beer-- really delicious $6 + oyster rockefeller-- didn't really taste the oyster and they were tiny + fries--- not crispy enough and could use a little more flavor/salt + lamb chops-- also just ok, small and only had 2 pieces with a small salad +butter lettuce cesar-- meh, nothing to really rave about + smashburger-- 3/5 we were told that the locals rave about their smashburger as one of the best in town buttttt idk about all that lol. I think what I didn't really like was the onion on it. Overall I would give Primrose another try. I love the neighborhood, local feel. It was very busy in here when we stopped by. I would try more of their wines and a couple other items on the menu.
