    Such a cool bar in Adams Morgan. It felt like such an immersive experience with the decor. I loved the menu being in the form of a newspaper, it was a great touch. The menu had a wide variety of cocktails with different spirits and flavor profiles. I ordered the code red and thought it was good, personally wish it was a tad sweeter but I'd still order again. I can't remember the name of my husbands drink, but he thought it was just okay but would be willing to come back for a different drink.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    the cutest experience ever and surprisingly super inexpensive! would definitely come back.

    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.

    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)

    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!

    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!

    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!

The food and the service were so good at Manifest.  It made our evening truly a relaxing celebration.  We hope to dine there again soon!

    March 7, 2026 at 2:30 PM for Brunch…read more TL,DR: Love the ambiance and the service was great but I felt as if the food was pretty average for cost. Additionally, the bill includes a 22% auto-gratuity no matter the size of your party, and the machine prompts you with the option to add more when paying. Ambiance (5/5): This is one of the most visually appeasing restaurants I have been too. The entrance on the street level that descends into a basement restaurant after exiting the spiral staircase is definitely one for the books. On top of this, the shade of pink used for the walls creates a vibe that is not only beautiful, but in my opinion keeps those in the restaurant in a soothing mood. This was extremely noticeable as it is a small seating area in the main area, and it wasn't loud even though it was fairly packed. It's also important to note that the restaurant does extend into a bar area and a back room. We were offered to sit in the bar area but chose the main area. Service (4/5): The service was great Our service was very attentive and checked-in on us multiple times. Not only was he friendly, but wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. The only reason I gave a 4/5 was because, our server did forget pepper that we asked for twice, but another friendly team member went the extra mile to help us. Food (3/5): I ordered the Skillet Seafood Omelette for myself, and shared the French Toast Bread Pudding with my friend. The French Toast was nothing short of phenomenal, and I'd return to get that just based on how good it tasted alone. However, the Skillet Seafood Omelette did not quite meet my expectations. Although well made, I found it to be an average taste and something I could have made at home. First, I expected a traditional omelette, but this was a frittata at it's core. I am not a fan of frittata's because in my opinion they bring out all of the worst parts of the egg taste, and had I known it was a frittata and not an omelette, I would have ordered something different. Special Note: This weren't taken into consideration for rating but I thought it was important to note that a 22% auto-gratuity is added to your bill no matter the size of your party, and when you pay, it has the audacity to ask for an extra tip on top of that. Anytime I see this as a restaurant I note it, as I normally tip 20% unless service is bad, and reserve anything higher than 20% for exceptional service.

    Dishonor to my cow and my entire family for not taking a picture of this food! The people here were…read moreso kind--literally the sweetest. I don't even know how to describe the energy in this place, but you can just feel it the moment you walk in. The restaurant has a dark aesthetic that gives it such a cool, cozy ambiance. My daughter and I ordered the Dan Dan noodles and spicy wontons. Everything was so filling that we ended up ordering another bowl of the Dan Dan noodles! And honestly, I still crave them. The Dan Dan noodles were SO good. The sauce was the perfect combination of creamy and spicy, and there was a generous amount of minced pork that balanced everything out really well. The wontons paired perfectly with the chili sauce that came with them! They were spicy--my ears turned red and my nose started running--but I literally could not stop going back for another bite. Even the wontons alone were incredibly filling. I don't live anywhere near this place, and I genuinely wish I did. I traveled pretty far to get here, and I'd absolutely do it again. This was one of those meals that stays on your mind long after you've left!

    If you love spicy food and sichuan pepper seasoning you will love this vibey neighborhood spot. If…read moreyou are lucky enough to find a reservation, definitely go. Great cocktails, better food. Some of our favorites are the salt and pepper eggplant and the OG LaZy chicken. Inside is dimly lit with energetic music. There are only 6 or 7 tables inside and rest is seating. Outside is nothing special but you'll still have great food.

    I had the opportunity to stop in here on a late weeknight after a concert to celebrate my friends…read morebirthday. There is plenty of free parking and availability on a weeknight so if you are interested in checking this place out for the food, drinks, and chill vibes definitely come on a weeknight. As many have previously stated, you enter in through a flower shop and are greeted by a pleasant hostess who leads you through a wooden door, down some stairs into a lounge that has plenty of plush seating and a DJ spinning classic hits with some international variations (which I thought were really cool). This place has an extensive cocktail/Mocktail list and a seasonal menu with that showcase modern twists on Argentinian cuisine. My friend ordered the oysters that come topped with chimichurri and the zucchini salad. I got the king crab empanadas with a side of fries. For drinks, she got the chai carrot cake composed of gin, scotch and a purple carrot liqueur. I got the Milo's Lemonade which is a mocktail composed of Yerba mate tereré, lemon verbena grapefruit, and peach cordial strawberry oleo. Everything that we had here was delicious and our server was on point. Definitely recommend of you are in the area for good drinks and small bites.

Everyone we encountered, from the hostess to the bartender to our waitress, was incredibly kind. They even have a coat check, which was a great perk! it was so nice to sit and relax without dealing with our bags. The whole ambiance felt really classy. The menu is in Spanish, that was a nice touch. I ordered an espresso martini, which wasn't on the menu, but they made it and it was delicious! I also tried the El Dorado cocktail, it's very sweet, perfect if you're not into the taste of alcohol, though it's still strong, so definitely know your limit. We ordered a few small plates but the prawns were our favorite. Can't wait to go back!
