The first time I came to Code Red was last summer, and I genuinely found myself counting down the days until I could return. Finally made it back - and it did not disappoint. This is such a perfect spot for either a date night or a fun night out with friends. The speakeasy vibe, the chic atmosphere, and the music (a smooth, chill house mix) all come together so effortlessly. Plus, being open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays is a huge bonus. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time - this place stays busy for a reason. From my previous visit, I remember having a ravioli dish, what I believe was a braised beef, and their sliders with duck fat fries - all of which were incredible and clearly memorable since I was thinking about them for months. The sliders paired with those fries were honestly a standout. This time around, we had to get the duck fat fries again, and they were just as phenomenal as I remembered. The cheesesteak oysters were easily a 10/10 - fresh, meaty, and honestly surprising coming from someone who used to not even like oysters. We also tried the grilled octopus, which was well-seasoned (as expected, slightly chewy), and the fried calamari, which was light, not heavy at all, and paired perfectly with the sauces. The tuna tartare was another standout - super fresh, soft, and practically melted in your mouth. For drinks, we went all in. The Dirty Diamond martini with blue cheese olives was great, though if you like your martinis extra filthy, I'd recommend specifying that. The Hemingway Special had a nice subtle sour kick, and the vanilla mint espresso martini was strong (you can definitely taste the alcohol) but still smooth and frothy. The Mary Pickford with Malibu was surprisingly delicious - almost like a mocktail. The Paloma was solid, and the Code Red cocktail gave me slight cosmopolitan vibes. But the real star was the dulce de leche espresso martini--absolutely unforgettable. What really ties everything together here is the service. The staff - from the hosts to the servers - are attentive, welcoming, and genuinely elevate the experience. Overall, Code Red is one of those places you keep coming back to. If you're looking for a stylish speakeasy atmosphere with great food, drinks, and energy, this is it. read more

Came to Code Red on a Wednesday evening and had a nice time. While Code Red isn't a true true speakeasy they do keep the speakeasy theme. You knock on the door and a bouncer lets you in. I think there's a password but its written on the sign out front and if you have a reservation don't worry! The space is beautiful! Well decorated and very atmospheric. Low lighting and live jazz on Wednesdays that was a little too loud for my liking as it was super difficult to talk over but otherwise pleasant. The drinks menu is a creative format and delivered as a newspaper with some history on the prohibition era as well as drinks popularized around that time and what said drinks are known for. What Code Red loses in innovative drinks it makes up for in a well crafted cocktail. Nothing fancy or frilly here just a solid list of mostly classic cocktails done right in a nice vibey setting. Prices are about on par with a standard cocktail in DC these days. Really enjoyed my time here! Perfect place for a date or girl's date. Overall friendly service and a really friendly bouncer. Definitely worth a visit for classics in a nice venue. read more

What a cool place! In DC for a conference and staying at an Airbnb down the street, this was super close and easy to find. Thankfully they had a couple of signs so we knew we were in the right place (they were subtle). We knocked on the door, gave the code word (code red - shocker) and were seated right away. The inside is just gorgeous! Speakeasy decor, Frank Sinatra soundtrack - the ambience is great. We were there for happy hour so I got the Mary Pickford and M got the Southside - both delicious and reasonably priced. We also got the smoked Gouda arancini - delicious! For dinner I got the Roasted beet, arugula, and burrata salad - the vinaigrette was very good and plenty of it. The burrata was more mozzarella than burrata but it was still good. M got wings and crispy Brussels sprouts - both very good. I ended up with the brownie sundae as dessert and M got a classic martini. Overall, very good experience - the food was good, the decor was great - we really enjoyed it. read more

Winter Restaurant Week 2026 First, this place is a brilliant speakeasy and the proof of that is in the abandoned storefront look on the outside, leading to a stunning decor inside. Felt like we stepped into the 1920s. Loved loved loved Next, service was excellent and the staff really did a great job with the services offered. Our waitress Christina was the best. Drinks- I was completely sold on the Southside, a perfect citrus mix which tastes great but was a sure creeper, drink responsibly. My boyfriend tried the Kinky Thompson but it wasn't his fav so he pivoted to the Kentucky Trail bourbon flight, which he enjoyed! For the first course, we both ordered the Tuna Crudo, a fresh and delectable appetizer which had some beautiful notes of lemon zest added to it. Amazing start For the second course I ordered the Garlic & Herb Roasted Rack of Lamb, and my boyfriend ordered the Surf and Turf. Surf and Turf-paired with mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts, both cooked perfectly. The steak cut was seasoned well and the prawn was buttery soft. This dish was stellar Garlic & Herb Roasted Rack of Lamb-paired with couscous and rainbow carrots, my goodness, this was a culinary masterpiece in flavors!!!!! The couscous complemented the lamb by adding a break in between the savory flavors which exuded from the perfectly seasoned lamb lollipops. The carrots were seared well, not too soft and just the perfect crunch. Absolutely amazing dish Final course- we ran into a shortage of crème brûlée as sadly they ran out early, so the later dinner crowd was unable to enjoy the award winning dessert. However, they were accommodating and I was able to get a banana foster while my boyfriend enjoyed the cheesecake. My banana foster was cool, nothing to rave about. The cheesecake was also okay. We will indeed return again and hopefully we could enjoy that crème brûlée. Amazing music selection at a great level Excellent ambiance Great mature crowd Make the reservations and go support, you'd be glad that you did. read more

I mean, I guess? Located in the heart of Adam's Morgan Code Red is a discreet speak easy that serves tapas and specialized drinks. I made a reservation for 8:30pm on 1/23/26 for their $55 Restaurant Week Menu. Upon arrival we knocked at least 3x before settling on calling the location so they could open the door. In 20 degree weather you can understand how frustrating that was. When we got inside we could barely hear one another so it doesn't surprise me that they couldn't hear us knocking. Seating is sparse with roughly 6 tables for 2 lining the center isle, booths on the left and the bar on the right. Once inside we were seated immediately. The decor inside is very......red hence the name lol, a cool vibe for a lowkey date but don't expect to do much talking here without a bit of shouting. Took a bit for our waiter to make it to us but otherwise the service was seamless. Emelio (sp) was our server and he was amazing. We had: Tuna Crudo - 6/10 - the texture of the tuna was decent but it lacked any actual flavor especially salt. The ginger made up for it in some respects but it couldn't save it. I would've loved to take this home but am a stickler for proper food storage and unless I could guarantee they could store it properly before I left it wasn't worth the risk for me. Surf N Turf - 6/10 - Prawns, Waygu, mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. The prawns were rubbery, the mashed potatoes were chalky, the Brussel sprouts were burnt and overall everything lacked seasoning. I wasn't asked how I wanted my steak cooked but luckily it came out medium well and while I prefer more of a medium cook it wasn't bad. In addition to the lack of seasoning the meal came out room temperature, barely luke warm. I don't know if had been sitting or what but by the time it made it to me it was nearly cold. Mashed potatoes tasted boxed, no depth at all which was unfortunate because paired with the steak it's a staple that fell flat. Cheesecake - 10/10 - the best thing I ate from here. The crust was perfect and the cheesecake itself had great flavor. My friend had: Heart of Palm Ceviche - 8/10 Lamb - 8/10 Cheesecake - 10/10 Strawberry lemon drops 4x - 10/10 - they were delicious, no notes. However buyer beware they charge an additional $2 per drink to flavor it bringing the total to $18. Not a terrible thing but wasn't mentioned until I saw the bill and would've been good to know upfront. After all was said and done we spent $208 plus $25 tip for, what I felt, was just an ok meal. For the hassle that is parking, plus entry I couldn't see myself coming back but it was nice to try which is what the general sentiment for restaurant week is for. read more

I am obsessed with this speakeasy! The menu is actually a fake newspaper from the prohibition days. The whole bar was dim with red lights. All of the drinks were inspired by the prohibition days with a couple classics. They also have a solid food menu and highly recommend the desserts. The server was very attentive. We had a group of 6 and were able to comfortably sit in one of the booths and it was great people watching. read more

Stumbled upon this awesome speakeasy while visiting DC. Walked past it twice before realizing where it was. You have to know the password to enter (code red). We caught the mid day crowd and made it just in time before the big rush. The service was fantastic. We sat at the bar, it was happy hour so we took full advantage. The star was the octopus. Everything we had was great. I look forward to stopping in when I visit again. read more

CODE RED - Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This truly was one of the best speakeasies I've ever been too. You walk through this big metal door and are escorted into a red-lit room sprawled with tree-like plants and old memorabilia. My friends and I were placed in this little cozy nook with a cool couch and great lighting which made it all that better. I got the Code Red drink and it was very tasty but also so strong so definitely worth the money. I got the espresso martini which I think is one of the best I've had. Overall, the staff were friendly and checked in accordingly and I would definitely want to come back when I'm back in DC. This place is a must! read more

I had heard of this speakeasy for a few years now but this was my first time actually getting to check it out. The entrance door is a large steel door with a knocker, a combination lock and a sliding grate in the middle. To gain access, you need to use the knocker and then provide the code word when it is answered. I, however, didn't know this so I had a great banter with the staff before being allowed in lol! As soon as you walk in, you feel like you have been transferred back to the prohibition era. The space is intimate and dimly lit with red lighting and decor all around. The seating ranges from velvet couches to other antique furniture. Luckily, because I arrived early enough and didn't have a reservation I was able to get a seat at the bar. They have happy hour aka bootlegger hour from 5-7 with both drink and food specials. Tuesdays they also have $1 oysters all day while supplies last. The menu is a presented in newpaper format from th early 1900's. In addition to the menu it is filled with fun facts from history. The staff were great! Super friendly and food and drink came out fairly quickly. I usually avoid the AdMo area due to the traffic and awful parking but definitely plan to be back to visit this gem. read more

Knock knock! What's the code? Don't tell anyone but the code is "code red" you didn't hear that from me shhh! Tucked away behind an unmarked door in the heart of Adam's Morgan DC, this speakeasy is quite the gem. From the moment you step in, the intimate ambiance, fabulous vintage decor & perfectly crafted cocktails. I felt like I was transported back to the 1920s. I had the beef skewers and a side of fries along with my cocktail of choice "MARY PICKFORD". My friend enjoyed calamari and fresh $1 oysters (Tuesday special). If you're looking for a cool experience and a sophisticated environment I highly recommend this establishment! Parking: 1/5 Ambience:5/5 Food and Drinks: 5/5 Ease of finding: 1/5 (well this is expected) read more

An amazing little bar in AdMo! I came here with to catch up with my friend, and it was the perfect spot. Not super busy late on a Thursday night, but not empty so it didn't feel abandoned. The aesthetic was very fun. We had to knock on the door a few times to get an answer, but we got the password from some other people on the street and got in pretty easily. The service was very attentive, and they made sure to inform us of all last calls. For drinks, I got the Mary Pickford and my friend got one with champagne; both were very good. I also got some fried calamari which were definitely above standard bar food in quality. I would highly recommend this bar to anyone looking for a nice spot to chat and get some drinks. read more

Hiding in plain sight! This inconspicuous storefront passes as possibly vacant with a bunch of random pieces of paraphernalia in the windows that totally throws you off. Once you check the address a couple of times, you realize this has to be it! You walk up to a locked metal door with a keypad. Once you knock, a small window opens and a gentleman asks for the password. After a quick interaction, we realized the password was RED! LOL Once inside, we were impressed by this dimly lit Speakeasy. Mostly adorned in red velvet and red lighting, this could not have been a cooler vibe. Our server was amazing. She explained the theme and menu in detail. We chose the grilled octopus, truffle fries, lamb chops and Wagyu Sliders. Everything was delicious but those damn fries were BOMB!!! I couldn't stop eating them. The drinks were expertly made, especially the "Oscar's Wilde" which was delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed CODE RED and look forward to visiting again in the VERY near future! read more

The secret is out and this speakeasy is one you want to visit! As soon your enter the Adams Morgan corridor on 18th street, look for the inconspicuous building with the big black door. Set in the center, at eye level, is the "hatch" or better known as the speakeasy grille. If you have never been, you must knock to enter. Knock loud, three knocks and you'll see someone peek from behind the door, no words, just a stare. Then secretly whispers, "What's the passcode?" If you don't know, say the name of the restaurant and you'll be sure to be let in. The decor is everything! Dimly lit and hues of red, all over. Velvet is the theme! You'll see the beautiful lights above the bar, birdcages. Too cute. The tree, the lighting! Perfect! This owner went above and beyond! Some staff dressed the part, kudos to the server whose attire fit the script! Nice touch. Patrons are a mix of people, super diverse! The cool kids crowd! Money ain't a thing here! The low rated reviews are most definitely from Anti-Saloon League members, clearly. LOL no way this place deserves less than 5 stars! They did a phenomenal job of transforming this place into a real speakeasy and although jazz is typical of the "old" school speakeasy's, I enjoyed the music. It was a mix of genres and I can appreciate them wanting to appease all customers! Take it from an ALL-STAR elite, come, you will not be disappointed! So as always... Let's get into it! Grilled Octopus - Perfectly seasoned Wagyu Sliders - Delicious Truffle Fries - My honey couldn't get enough! Lamb - Now looks are deceiving - it looked just barely cooked but the flavor of those lamb chops was perfect!!!!!!! Well done chef! Drinks - Those bartenders stole the show because the drinks were ON POINT, Oscar's Wilde you were the drink of choice! Effortlessly done, date night was spectacular thanks to Code "Red". We most definitely will be back! Shout out to my honey for being the Maximus Elite he is and finding this gem! read more

Such a fabulous establishment! We ended up here as the first stop for my bachlorette party and although we didnt make reservations ahead of time, the owner was kind enough to let me and my 2 besties in. Set up a table just for us.

CODE RED - Drinks and menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Went here to check it out for Happy Hour. Almost walked past it but we found it. The service was great. The waitress and the wait staff was attentive. We got the oysters since it was on special and the beef skewers, calamari. The food was okay. The calamari wasn't seasoned well. The setting was nice with the dim lights and velvet seats. If I go back it will probably be just for the drinks. read more

See all

Let me start off by saying -- if you're in a rush to find a good food spot -- this speakeasy is more about aesthetics than cuisine. The wings were definitely frozen, not fresh. The calamari could've been fried harder, and the steak kabob was just average. On the bright side, service was good. That said, it's hard to tell if that's their standard or if it had something to do with the kind gentleman at the door mentioning to the manager that I'm a content creator. I'm willing to give it another try, but first impressions matter -- and this one leaned more style over substance. Provided a video for you to check out the vibes! read more

Came here on a weekday evening. I ordered the martini with the caviar bump. After they brought it, we ordered food. Presentation was great but I realized it was not a dirty martini or blue cheese olives. I returned it. Meanwhile the food arrived. Ugh- my pet peeve is if food arrives before my drink. Blooming artichoke was crazy good. I would definitely get this again! Tyree comes in an order. Crispy and flavorful. Grilled octopus was ok. When my martini showed up, again olives not stuffed like the menu said. Someone came out and apologized that they didn't get their shipment. Why not say that when I ordered? I would not have ordered it. I didn't finish it although the presentation is impressive and the glass beautiful. I got a cosmo and it was delicious. We had the lamb and the risotto with scallops. Scallops meh but risotto good. Lamb good too. For dessert I indulged. The Bananas forester was so good I ordered a second one. Next time I would get the artichokes and this again! Light on the table is bright but can be adjusted but they didn't mention it until end of evening!! Once we turned it off, it was more relaxing . Our server was excellent. She knew when to check in and when to leave us alone. Personable but not too chatty. Menu was a newspaper- cool. I will be back. read more

Loved the energy and vibe of this wonderful speakeasy. Our waiter, Emilio was very nice and answered all our questions and reminded us to take part in Happy hour with 18 minutes remaining! We ordered drinks: Mary Pickford and Southside. I thought the Mary Pickford was beautifully balanced. The menu had a lot to choose from! I narrowed down to trying the brussel sprouts and the tuna tartare on the happy hour menu! They were both delicious! As my main I had the scallops-- very succulent. I really enjoyed the garlicky spinach mixed with the parmesan risotto. My friend took advantage of the restaurant week menu where you could pick out an appetizer, entree and dessert for $55. She tried the bone marrow, surf and turf and crème brûlée. We both thought the bone marrow was interesting, I'd never had it before. She said it was more filling than she anticipated. The surf and turf was very tough, both steak and lobster. I think due to the steak being cut into small pieces it couldn't retain any moisture-- so pieces were dry. My friend said the lobster was hard to chew. The only part that was soft was the unexposed part in the lower part of the tail. We both agreed the dish has a lot of room to improve. She didn't leave any part of the crème brûlée dish untouched! She was kind enough to let me steal a bite! We both tried different versions of the espresso martini. I really enjoyed mine with baileys. Would definitely come back!! Ps. Give a knock at the door :) read more

Went here for restaurant week with the family. The place is warm, cozy and inviting. When we were leaving a band had just started to play. So, it looks like a good place to hang out for drinks. Now the food. Overall the dishes were missing on flavor and temperature(luke warm). The portions were adequate. The bone marrow didn't have much marrow at all. The beet salad was okay. The service was good, he took time to go over all the special drinks on the menu. Overall it was Okay, but, for what I was looking for it missed the mark. read more

Maybe I was here on an off night but, there is nothing really that says speakeasy about this place other than maybe the entrance. Has more of a nightclub vibe, very loud and has the LOUDEST martini cart in humanity. Every time they started wheeling that thing around all you could hear were glasses clattering and banging against each other. Service was very weird, with what seemed to be a server poached our table but then provided awful service and the other server would have to come by and check on us anyway. Or our server was just bad and the other server was trying to cover for them. Not sure. Either way nothing about this place impressed me and no desire to give another shot.

Just visited and would not recommend this bar to someone that wants a true prohibition style bar experience. The bar was very loud as they have a dj playing house music and top 40. It was unnecessarily loud. I believe the manager should revisit having a dj or lowering the music so that guests can hold a conversation with one another during their visit. I did like the decor and the layout of the bar. Unfortunately, the cocktails were not the best. This bar may be better during lunch or dinner, but Code Red definitely missed the target.

Fabulous experience at Code Red last night. Ambiance was incredible. It was like stepping back in time to prohibition. Attention to detail doesn't stop at the decor. The food was spectacular. As a vegetarian, I had excellent options. The tagliatelle with mushroom cream sauce can't be missed. The hearts of palm ceviche was a delightful surprise. Texture and flavor combination hit the mark. And then there is the service. Charming, helpful and knowledgeable, attentive. They suggested drinks and dishes with clear guidance based on the palette of each guest. I look forward to bringing my out of town guests to this DC gem. read more

Pretty cool spot -- the two apps we got were solid. My first old fashioned was good but the second one, the guy really over smoked it, really affected the taste. It turns into a louder club so if you're going on a date or for a drink, around 10:30 it gets really loud. But a cool, dark, and moody spot for a drink! read more

Went to code red for happy hour and had a very pleasant time. We ordered the arincini and palm ceviche as well as several drinks. I enjoyed everything and found the food to be inventive and high quality. Would love if this bar added aviations to their menu, even if just as a special. Was happy to see the array of absinthe cocktails though. It's true that the theme is not subtle but it is not too over-the-top and the bar can still be enjoyed as a regular neighbourhood bar. The happy hour is reasonably priced so this is a good option if you are in the area and want a more unique experience. read more

BIG fan of this place!! As we walked through AdMo this was kind of an impromptu stop and I am glad we decided to go into this "speakeasy". The vibes inside were very on theme for their prohibition aesthetic and the dimly light area seemed to be a good place for a date night. I tried the dulce de leche espresso martini which was a lovely twist on the traditional espresso martini and I might have even liked it more than a traditional espresso martini. A bit on the pricey side but worth it in my opinion. We also got some truffle fries which are always a classic. I will definitely be returning!! read more
