    Phenomenal selection and very educated and knowledgeable bartenders. Highly recommend! Make sure you ask Chris, he's well versed and amazing!

    I've come here several times for cocktails since they first opened back in 2011. It's an enjoyable experience every time. The employees are well-versed in their liquor options and are always helpful. I'm not a big whiskey drinker but I always feel like I have to try something new while here. They're always patent with me and help me find something I like. Their signature whiskey sour is light and refreshing, and so different from what you get at any other bar. Their other cocktails are also top notch. My husband enjoys their expensive whiskey list. The bar bits have always been good when we've gotten them.

    Jack Rose is a D.C. institution. It's in Adams Morgan and comes with plenty of seating and an impressive whiskey selection. On top of that, they have lots of cocktail options. For my birthday, my wife got us a small private room on the second floor with our own bar. It was beautiful and more quiet compared to the main space. It was the perfect place to end my birthday weekend.

    Night cap after Valentine's dinner Place was packed downstairs, so we went upstairs and found bar seating Downstairs area looked super cool and inviting! Tiny bathrooms There are 2 outdoor patio. The enclosed patio had a fireplace. Warm! Drinks were cool I did not like the Truffle mozarella balls

    It's like a whiskey and bourbon library in here. Knowledgeable tenders with an old timey feel. The Mr. Loved it.

    Came for the whiskey stayed for the food. I had the pork chop and was absolutely floored. Without question one of the best balanced dished I've had the pleasure to eat. My wife had the steak and the chimichurri was fresh and the Brussels sprouts were incredible sides to an outstanding steak. I never expected a "saloon" to have quality of food to match the whiskey selection. Without question will be here again.

    Angel's Envy Old Fashioned.

    ***4 1/2 stars*** I'm an ambivalent skeptic when it comes to karma, etc., but it's hard not to believe the universe had a hand in this one. My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I were wandering south from the Adams Morgan neighborhood and she'd been given the assignment of finding one last stop on our day's adventures before heading back to the Airbnb. She saw the name of this establishment from across the street, started squealing Titanic quotes, and of course we came in. We're both big bourbon drinkers, so it was pretty unnerving to find out almost immediately that we'd accidentally picked the bar that literally had the largest selection of whiskey in the Western Hemisphere. There are coincidences and then there are coincidences. When you walk in, it feels like a boozy library - there are bottles of (presumably almost all) whiskey stretching from end to end, ceiling to ceiling. Think that iconic scene from Beauty and the Beast if Belle had been a drinker instead of a reader. It's quite something to take in. The bar was not crowded at all when we got there and we just plopped ourselves down on the nearest chairs and made ourselves comfortable. We respectfully disagreed on this point, but the bartender for me got pretty much top marks across the board. My chum thought she was robotic in her delivery, which WAS true early on, but she warmed up after a while and became much more personable. In her defense (which I immediately came to), she had a lot of information to convey and was very much in command of that knowledge. Because we probably have more refined bourbon palates than the average person at this point (though maybe not in terms of the clientele that comes in here intentionally), she used that in her sales pitch and got us some really impressive drinks. I now have an official bourbon I'm looking for going forward, which somehow wasn't the case before. We'd told her almost immediately that we'd had excellent bourbon at the Ritz a few nights earlier, the Angel's Envy. She not only was familiar with it - I don't think it's obscure - but described the three variations they had here, including the one I emotionally imprinted on, finished in sherry wine barrels, making it pretty fruit forward. It is pretty ridiculous how much money we spent on the Old Fashioned featuring that specific bourbon (I think it was honestly like $65, but it WAS a mini vacation), but it was literally the best one I've ever had. You really could tell how excellent this bourbon was. After we had that, my chum asked for a cheaper variation in the $20 range, and the bartender was immediately able to pivot on that front and gave us some detailed, informed recommendations. Really good, memorable stuff there. Honestly the only area and obvious need for improvement was the food options. These by definition are going to be boozier drinks, so I think you should have an arsenal of legit apps/entrees to sample and keep the night from getting too out of hand. We'd had a very big lunch a few hours earlier so there wasn't a red alarm, blaring need in that regard, but we did get some truffle fries to munch on. Eh. On the soggy side and the truffle seasoning barely saved them. These weren't explicitly referenced on the menu, which is a point worth making (my chum felt confident that with the amount we paid for that Angel's Envy cocktail she could get them to make anything, which turned out to be a pretty fair assessment). So the counter is they weren't prepared to make this at a high level but if that's the case, I just wouldn't make it all. It's going to be difficult for the food to match the bourbon, but it should be a closer race than this. Awesome stop; felt like the powers that be wanted us to get in here at some point.

    Calamari

    My homegirl and I planned to go to DC Imperial for happy hour, but upon arrival we were surprised by locked doors. Since I knew the area, I suggested Jack Rose, best suggestion EVER! We sat at the bar closest to the window for more light as it has a very speak easy feel inside with the bourbons and whiskeys stacked on shelves like books. We were immediately greeted by Pat the bartender. Upon examine the menu, we settled on an old fashioned and a Kentucky 75, the old fashioned was $12 on happy hour and it was one of the best old fashioned's I've had in quite sometime, THANK YOU Pat! We decided to grab a few bites since certain appetizers are 1/2 price on happy hour. We got the calamari and fried mac and cheese, both were delicious.......the mac and cheese were served in balls and an aioli that is to die for the calamari was served with fried peppers, also very yummy After about three rounds I needed a little more to eat so I opted for an impossible smash burger that came with fries for $11 on happy hour I could only eat half, but also very good. I wish I would've gotten more pictures, but we were enjoying ourselves so much. I was pleasantly surprised with our options and the price point. If you are in the area, check this place out, you won't be disappointed.

    Beet Salad and Twice Baked Potato
    Kathryn J.

    I stopped by yesterday night with some friends for dinner. We were drawn as one of us is a big whiskey fan. The second we walked in the restaurant we were all impressed- it's a beautiful, cool, sophisticated place and the walls lined with bottles are very impressive. We all loved watching the bartenders slide the ladders around and climb up to the ceiling to get specific bottles. It was a quieter night, but the service was fast and our server was very nice and knowledgeable. Our whiskey loving friend got the house cocktail, a Jack Rose, which was dangerously good. We ordered a variety of dishes, from burgers to the ham and biscuits to a beet salad. The food was fancy and very delicious, but still a good deal for the price. I would love to come back and spend time upstairs, or splash out and take the time to order a tasting flight. Overall we all enjoyed our time at Jack Rose!

    Attentive service, superlative cocktails, with pub grub to match. We were there for lunch and two…read moreappetizers were plenty. Note this venue is in the basement of the Hays-Adams hotel. Due to its proximity to the White House and VIP guests it is often under guard, and the external staircase directly down to the bar is closed. Simply enter the main entrance to the hotel and ask the doorman to direct you to the interior stairwell down.

    This bar came highly recommended by so many people, but I feel like they've hit that point where…read morethey know tourist are coming and the prices reflect that. Four drinks and one meat and cheese board topped us over with tip at 200 bucks. We had gone for multiple dinners and lunches over several days in DC and did not spend that much on an actual meal..... Pros- -the meat and cheese board was massive, had plenty and was more than enough for two people and became somewhat of a meal. -The drinks were very good heavy pours. -The vibe is great - kind of loud but in a good way -The bathrooms are IMMACULATE Cons- -The table service was a bit touch and go; seemed like there was no rhyme or reason for which servers had which tables. -I sent back my first drink because it had very noticeably had hair in it, and the server gave me a hard time about it - there was clearly hair floating in the glass I'm not paying $25 for a drink with hair -service was also super slow and we felt forgotten at times at our table *if there is an event or wedding at the hotel that definitely can add to being overcrowded and slow *take the time to walk around and check out the cartoons - and make sure you take home a coaster or two!!!!
