Delightful speakeasy with remarkably cozy vibes, super friendly service, and delicious cocktails. This small, no-reservations-allowed space is hard to snag a spot in (unless you're willing to wait in their multi-hour-long waitlist), but it's 100% worth the hype and effort. I'd recommend trying to come a bit earlier in the night or on a slightly off day -- we came by around 8 PM on a Thursday -- and you might be able to slip in with no or minimal wait. We were initially placed at a standing table, then relocated to a proper table when one opened up after about 30 minutes. It is a smidge loud, but still manageable, and I love the cozy, homey atmosphere created by the dim lighting, almost industrial architecture mixed with old fashioned bookshelves (which double as bathroom doors), and candles. They have a short menu of custom cocktails you can choose from, or you can also ask for any of the classics and/or tell the bartender what you typically enjoy and let them come up with a good fit. We tried a smattering of cocktails, including two from their menu, a whiskey sour, and a bee sting (which the bartender selected for us based on our general preferences). Each one was expertly crafted and extremely tasty, and made so much better by the ambiance. read more

OKPB is a popular speakeasy, a pretty small space. You show up and use the ring doorbell to connect with the host. They will add you to the waitlist and give you an estimated time. I generally will add myself to the waitlist and then head out to grab dinner. If you are called before dinner is finished, they are generally good about moving you further down the waitlist. For drinks, they have a small cocktail menu but the whole appeal is to let the server know your typical preferred drinks/flavor profile and they will create a drink for you. I generally always go that route and have been happy with my drinks. I even requested a non alcoholic drink once and I felt like i got the same fun experience. read more

This was such a cool and unique speakeasy! I loved how small and cozy it was as it made the experience very personal. I loved the handwritten menus, but even better was the fact that they can make you a drink that you'll love based on what you tell them you like! Our server was great at listening to what we like and making us cocktails we loved. Definitely an experience more than just a bar! read more

Absolutely loved this bar!! It's a small speakeasy with some of the best bartenders in the city. They change their menu often, but also let you describe the vibes/type of drink you want and they'll use their magic to make something perfect for you! I asked for some kind of a fizz and it was just perfect - some mix of Aperol, cucumber, and shaken with egg whites. I've still been thinking about it days later. Will try to recreate it, but it will certainly fall short. Be sure to get there early or be ready for a bit of wait (worth it)!! read more

We stopped by OKPB around 11 PM on a Saturday and were lucky enough to get seats without a wait (they close at midnight). This spot is easy to miss -- the door isn't on the main street and there's no large sign to mark it. You'll need to keep an eye out, then ring the doorbell to be let in. It adds to the speakeasy feel and makes the experience feel a little more secretive. For this visit, we sat at the bar, which I'd definitely recommend if you're planning on doing bartender's choice. It's easier to describe what you like, watch them work, and get some conversation in. The bartenders were friendly, and while the drinks they made were enjoyable, I did feel the "customization" leaned more toward picking from a set of known cocktails rather than fully creating something unique on the spot. The menu itself is short -- about 5 handwritten cocktails that change daily -- which adds to the intimate vibe. Bartender's Choice (Dominicana) Asked for something similar to an espresso martini. This version was smooth, balanced, and had a sweet foam on top that I loved. 3/5 Bartender's Choice (Caipirinha) Requested something light and refreshing. This came close to a mojito but less sour, less sweet, less everything but add bubbles. Easy to sip but a little too mellow for my taste. 2.5/5 Bartender's Choice (Darien Scheme) I asked for something sweet-but-not-too-sweet, refreshing, and a little sour. This leaned very sour -- passion fruit forward, tangy, and refreshing, but missing the sweetness I was hoping for to balance it. The brown sugar cube at the bottom added a little sweetness at the end, but not enough overall. Still good! 2.75/5 New Orleans Buck Ginger-forward with a nice mix of spice and slight sweetness. Less sour than the others, which I liked, but once I ate one of the candied ginger garnishes, the drink tipped too far into spicy territory. 2.5/5 read more

I've been to this speakeasy twice and both times have been amazing. This place has some of the best cocktails in the city. If you are planning to go especially on a weekend, I would recommend showing up right when they open at 5 otherwise, you'll have a 1-2 hour wait. They are very communicative though when they put you on the waitlist. The service is pretty fast at the bar especially and while they have a limited daily menu, the bartenders were willing to make something off menu. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to cocktails here for a random night out or a celebration. Either way, it will be incredible. read more

Really cool vibe! We were seated within 10 minutes, which was great. They switch things up daily with a rotating menu of five drinks, but you can also ask the bartender to create something based on your preferences, which I loved. The service was excellent and the drinks were creative and well-made. My only complaint is that seating is pretty limited -- only about six spots at the bar and a few small tables. That said, the hidden speakeasy atmosphere was spot on and definitely worth checking out. read more

It's the perfect speakeasy! You show up to a black door and wonder if you're at the right spot. Ring the doorbell, wait a few minutes, and then a host will come down to get you. It's a small space, but surprisingly seats quite a few parties. Drinks change, so you'll see the handwritten menu when you get seated. Great service and ambience/lighting. Drinks was excellent!! read more

Cute little spot that would be great for dates. Because there is limited space, volume inside doesn't get crazy which creates a much more intimate vibe. The hostess was very pleasant and transitions in and out were smooth. For an ideal experience, come as pairs. 3 or more will be waiting a while. The drinks were nice, ordered an amaretto sour (not on menu) and the new orleans buck. Both were tasty. And then I ordered a gin fizz because well we're at a speakeasy, sorry not sorry (don't worry I always tip more when I order this drink). It was light on the heavy cream and heavy on the soda water but still passed the float test. Decent taste but won't be ordering it here twice. read more

I really wanted to love this place after hearing so much about it, but the experience just fell flat. OKPB is a speakeasy in Mount Pleasant. It's fun finding the red door and ringing the doorbell to be let in. Staff was super friendly and the space was cute. Their gimmick is that they have a rotating list of cocktails every night or a bartender's special option where you tell them what sort of things you like and they make a drink for you. This is what they're known for and what I'd had people recommend trying. Unfortunately, it didn't work that way in practice. I asked for a drink made with tequila and got a drink made with rum, the one alcohol I'd asked not to get, that also didn't include the only flavor I'd asked for (coconut, which I feel is not a crazy unusual flavor for a bar to have?). In the end, they weren't confident they could make anything with those components, and I didn't want to have it not work again, so I gave up and just ordered an amaretto sour. I wish they'd just told me they couldn't do it from the beginning instead of bringing me something that was the complete opposite of what I'd asked for. The amaretto sour was good (well, it's a drink I already know I like), but it was just like what I'd get at any other bar. I was kind of sad because I don't think I asked for anything too demanding or out there, and I'm sure they have tequila in the bar, but in the end it didn't come close to anything I'd requested. I wouldn't go back based on my experience. I feel like I paid $16 for a drink I didn't want and that just wasn't that good. I had a good time with friends and the space is cute! There are no reservations and space is limited, so get here early if you do want to try it out. Honestly, though, I can't recommend it. It was a lot of money for what ended up being a pretty negative experience, and there are a lot of better bars in DC. 2.5 stars, rounded down because of the price point vs. quality. read more

I loved this place. New menu every night? Cozy and sexy for dates? Friendly bartenders who will make something for you if the current menu isn't calling out to ya? OKPB is special. Don't ever change. read more

I was actually disappointed because my friends who I went with have been before raved about OKPB when they went separately before. When I went, drinks were okay, not terrible but not memorable. I appreciate being able to taste the alcohol, not digustingly sweet like many other places, not too strong or weak.I like that the bartenders will make drinks based on what you describe to them of what you typically like. Very friendly and accommodating staff. It's very small so get there early or be ready to wait in line. read more

Okay, I see why people talk about this spot. The speakeasy vibes are ALL there! As long as you have the address, it's fairly easy to locate, though it may not be immediately obvious. When you arrive, you will be asked how many are in your party... and thankfully everyone doesn't have to be present. I see why they ask this too! The place is SUPER small! I'd say it can maybe fit 15-20 people max? The bar has 5 seats, and there are a few tables that I'd say can fit no more than 3 each. Also, it's dim, but not so much that you can't see things. Anyways, the drink selection looks lovely... but none of those are on happy hour Happy hour is from 5-7 and includes martinis, manhattans, mules and Fitzgeralds, a tasty Gin-based cocktail. I settled for the latter and was a huge fan! I later had a dry martini but the Fitzgerald was my favorite. I arrived around 5, and it got crowded around 6. If you're sitting at one of the tables grouped together, it can feel a little tight... during the peak of COVID, I feel like this probably wasn't okay. Anyways, the staff were super attentive, and the vibe of the place was awesome. Definitely a top speakeasy -- and affordable (especially during HH). By the way, I won't spoil it, but I LOVE the bathroom area. You'll have to go yourself to see why. read more

Wish I could give this place 10/10 because it was truly that great (drink wise I'm talking here). Firstly, no food, but it's around so many good food places in Admo, it would not be difficult to find. I got Clyde cocktail (scotch vermouth cacao absinthe)- and it tasted like a smooth chocolate . Un-freaking-believable I also got the Fitzgerald cocktail --perfectly refreshing. They have no waitlist so it's first come first serve so you have to line up right at opening. They only have 20 or so seats. The service is also amazing! They're so attentive to your requests. Ambiance is very dark and intimate, lovely for a date. Highly recommend ! read more

OKPB would be 5 stars except they messed up one of our Bartender's Choice cocktails. I visited on Sunday at ~7:30 PM and they seated by party of four right away. We got a very cute booth (the only one) in the back. There are also some seats at the bar and some two tops. The menu of the day was pretty short: a rum swizzle, a gin and sherry cocktail, a bourbon cocktail, a riff on French 75, and a rye brandy cocktail. Our waiter suggested we go with the Bartender's Choice, which all four of us did. They did a good job making cocktails based on our description except for one. My companion specifically asked for a drink like the first one on the menu, except sweeter and more like a tiki drink. Instead, he basically got the drink on the menu -- rum, lime, mint, bitters, and crushed iced. Basically, the exact wrong thing. I would have sent it back, but he demurred. But, they shouldn't have gotten it wrong in the first place; the onus is on them, not him. Otherwise, I liked the vibe and the cocktails. read more

Cool speakeasy with a solid drink list and intimate space. Bartenders were also very skilled at their craft and delivered some great dealers choice drinks. Being from Chicago, I thought the price point was pretty fair for craft cocktails at 16 a glass.

This cocktail bar is great. It has speak easy vibes. They have a bell to ring to be seated inside with minimal seats and a cozy vibe. You will want to get there at 5 when they open or you could be waiting for a while. The cocktails are on the higher side at $16 a piece but they are quality. We had a great experience with all of the staff, especially Thomas. If you're looking for a great cocktail bar, this is your place. I highly recommend the amaretto sour! They can make a variety of drinks outside of the menu but there is a menu available that rotates and changes daily! read more

Hole in the wall GEM! It's a speakeasy, so ofc it's a hole in the wall but I was so impressed with this little place! We got there late on a Thursday so ofc there was a wait time which was worth it. The host at the door greeted us with such a positive friendly attitude and let us know it'd be about an hour which was exactly how long it took. He even shared some nearby places we could hang out before returning! The ambiance is dim, sensual and cozy. I think it's a cool spot to show off if you have a date. I mean the bathroom doors are bookshelves. That's cool! I don't think big groups are a good idea because there's only about 30 people that can fit at a time and so pairs are easier! But the servers are also amazing and friendly and the menu is literally written on a piece of paper because that's how often it changes. I loved that! Unpredictable. And the reason we were there, the drinks. Well, I'm pretty sure they can't make a bad one! I had the airmail and it didn't disappoint! read more

I've heard a lot of people rave about OKPB and for good reason. Hearing the popularity of this place I was honestly shocked that going on a Saturday night we were even able to get a spot for 2. There are no reservations so after ringing the bell on the nondescript door, we were kindly told the wait would be about an hour and a half. I believe we got a text our table is ready in less time than that which was a pro. We were escorted up the dimly lit staircases into a small but very cool space. Even the restrooms were hidden behind bookcases, just another interesting twist to the set up. Our waiter was very friendly and the whole concept of having a daily rotating menu is so cool! Even if nothing on the menu speaks to you they will still help you find a drink that you would want to order which was awesome. Our waiter was very patient and knowledgeable as I tried to figure out which drink I wanted to try. The drink itself was great! I would rate my overall experience a 10/10! read more

10/10 experience let's cut to the chase. Very nice chill speakeasy vibes (on a weekday, don't even try on fri/sat). Our server was very nice and explained that every night the menu is different, and that we could get a "Bartenders Surprise" after answering some questions like allergies, liquor preferences, etc. I got one thing off the menu and one surprise and both were awesome but both my friend and I were especially pleased w our surprises :). Will be back! read more

I heard about this place from a friend and it did not disappoint! It took us a while to find this place (as it should!) we got there right when happy hour started because we were a big group and we got seated immediately. The server was very nice and friendly. The menu changes every day but one of the options was bartenders choice where you can tell the bartender what you want and they'll make a drink based on that. My friend ended up going with that option and loved her drink! There is limited seating so I would recommend going with a smaller group. This seems like a great spot for a date or to catch up with a friend! I will definitely be back to try a different menu! read more

One of my favorite cocktail bars in DC. The service is warm, friendly, informative, and attentive. The cocktails never disappoint. I typically order off menu and tell them I want something with tequila that's sweet or something along those lines. Every concoction they've handed me has been delicious. My favorite part is that I think the pricing is very reasonable. Excellent cocktails at $16 each is not cheap, but it is a great value for what you get. You always get a unique, high-quality drink. It's also never too loud or too dark or anything. I think the main downside is how small they are. I'm usually sat at a tabl reserved for 2, but that they turn sideways into a table for 3. You have to be ready to get cozy in here, but I think it's part of the charm. It's all very no frills, no nonsense in the best way possible. read more

A no frills speakeasy with damn good drinks is a lost art, one that's found at OKPB. Yes it's in that jank unmarked door - ring the bell and you'll get on the list. But once you're upstairs, you're transported to a dimly lit bar maybe 100 years back - real intimate place that's good for 2-4. And best part obviously is the drinks. Very small menu that changes daily, but what makes this place great is they can basically make you anything. That's not even a privilege exclusive to sitting at the bar. Tell them what you like flavor-wise, liquor-wise etc. and they got you covered. It's to the point where even some of the virgin drinks are that damn good - you can feel the effort and thought that goes into them, which I appreciate when I'm driving! So whether you just want a Manhattan, something more out there, or literally have no idea what you want in a drink, these guys got you covered. Best bar in DMV for me absolutely. P.S. Use the bathroom while you're there, it's a trip. read more

Delicious cocktails. The service is impeccable and the ambiance is quirky and cute. It is a tiny space. Upstairs. A few seats at the bar and a few tables.

With the pandemic closure of Capitol Hill's Harold Black, Washington, D.C. needs more top-notch speakeasies. Enter O.K.P.B from the creator of The Sheppard, another popular bar that closed. Here's why you must visit this Mount Pleasant speakeasy: 1) Drinks: Monday-Saturday starting at 5 p.m., they create a hand written menu of a handful of drinks based on the bartender's inspiration and inventory. Always on the list is a "bartender's choice," the truest test of a bar worth their salt. O.K.P.B. nails it. Armed with my preference for sweet drinks, the bartender created three (yep, they were that good) unique, distinct drinks that tickled my sweet tooth. Each was well shaken and innovative- among the best cocktails in Washington, D.C. Each cocktail is $14. 2) Space: It's a speakeasy so they don't take reservations. It's first come, first served. My buddy and I walked in on a Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. and were seated within 10 minutes after being on the waitlist. Once inside, it gives off classy, yet inviting speakeasy vibes. The space is dark and dimly lit. There are booths, tables and the bar in the back. There are two small restrooms that look like a home library. Push the books to open the restroom for more surprises inside. 3) Vibes: It's a speakeasy in a very inviting neighborhood and O.K.P.B. balances the two well. You feel like you're in a friend's personal speakeasy. The bartenders are elite in their craft but approachable in spirit. 4) Location: Once you're on the waitlist, they'll text you when a table is ready. You then have 15 minutes to get their before releasing your table. That gives you some time to walk up and down Mount Pleasant Street N.W. looking inside local shops, other bars and restaurants. The neighborhood has a number of Free Little Libraries, historic homes and murals within alleys, giving visitors plenty to see while killing time. We found free street parking a few blocks south within the actual neighborhood. If you want to impress a date, hang with friends or feel cool, visit O.K.P.B. They'll create an experience you won't soon forget. read more

OKPB is the perfect way to start or end your night. Ring the doorbell and be a little patient. You'll go up a narrow flight of stairs and you will get transported to their small well-decorated and dimly-lit bar where you forget what time of day it is. Not for big parties so best to go with just 1-2 other people. If you do have to wait, there are plenty of restaurants and other bars nearby to wait after you put your name down. The 5-7pm happy hour for $8 select drinks is an amazing deal. The handwritten menus on lined paper change every day and you can also get whatever your heart fancies with getting bartender's choice. I love the little touches throughout the space, like a Snoopy embroidery and the bathrooms that have a bookshelf as a door. The servers and bartenders are awesome too! I've gotten refreshing, citrusy and old-fashioned type drinks by asking for bartender's choice and have always been surprised and delighted with how they nail it every time. read more

Such a cool little bar! It is first come first serve, so definitely go early and put your names down. They have a rotating menu and make basically any drinks you want if you ask for it.

Exuberant decor and excellent cocktails! This is my new favorite bar in DC. We arrived around 4:40, and managed to be the first in line by mere minutes. There is only one large group table that I'm aware of, and the line forms quickly, so I highly suggest going early. Happy hour runs from 5-7, including 4 different drinks that are half off ($8/each). The drinks are strong, and made with care! My favorite was my Moscow mule, which had a stick of ice rather than typical ice cubes (see picture), and was very "earthy." The ginger was nice and strong, and fresh, not watery like most ginger beers included in Moscow mules. The decor was incredible- very playful, and added to the overall mood. read more

Such, such a quaint little space. Wait times for this speakeasy can get long but it's worth it. It can get pretty loud inside! The servers are phenomenal and take care of you very well.

I went to OKPB with a large party during happy hour. Overall there were 7 of us. I was the first to arrive when they opened so I was able to snag a booth. Our server was Daniel who was very pleasant and attentive. I ordered a bowl of nuts for the table and they were good but would be even better warmed up. I ordered a mocktail and as shown in the picture it was about 90% ice . The taste was good overall, but I've had better. The rest of my party ordered alcoholic drinks and were satisfied overall. It's a small space so it gets full and loud quickly. Overall, it was a nice experience, but I wouldn't consider a long wait time to be worthwhile. read more

I was shocked to see a line for this place before opening since I didn't think Mount Pleasant was such a go to spot in DC. I've known David and John for several years so I'm happy to see they're doing well. The vibe is cool and the bar service was great. The only gripe was the hostess was a snot. I simply mentioned when I was entering that I knew John and David and she responded that it didn't matter (wasn't trying to get anything out of it lady, just simply stating I knew them and wanted to support their business by being there). Other than that, I can see this place being a good date spot in the future. read more

This place is great. When we were looking at moving from LA to DC, this was one of the first places we visited. It reminded us of the many cool spots we left behind in LA and the hidden, exclusive feel of the places we often visited in California. The place is intimate and cocktails can be customized per your taste. The wait can be a little extreme, depending on the time/day you visit. But we both loved it so much and the cocktails were so delicious. We typically are wine guys, but love a cocktail if none right (like here!) read more

I have been to OKPB probably 7-8 times and my last visit will be my last one. I show up with a party of 4 ring the bell and get told about an hour wait. No problem, we go a couple of doors down to Purple Patch and have a great meal. Right as the meal is over and we pay I get a text saying our table is ready. We walk over and get taken up. Well turns out the table was not ready. The host places four of us at a tiny side table thing behind the bar seating to the left. If you've been there you know it's a "table" about 18"x18", I look at the host and he says don't worry a table will open up in a minute. I kind of wonder why they texted me if the table was not already ready. Again been there multiple times and know it can take a minute to get your drink but it turned out to be closer to 25 minutes before we got our first round. Note we are still uncomfortably grouped around a tiny place to just rest our drinks. Two 2 tops open up next to us so I figure ok they will push them together and those will be ours. Nope the toast just brings in more people. when this happens I go and ask what is going on. The host then tells me that technically the tiny table we are standing next to is technically a spot. I just kind of look at him in disbelief and ask for our check with takes another 10 minutes. I give the place 2 stars because it used to not suck. But yeah OKPB where hospitality goes to die. read more

OKPB's an absolute must visit! Located in Mount Pleasant, they're the definition of a modern speakeasy.

OKPB is definitely a unique gem. Let me count the ways. (1) It's an actual speakeasy, not a faux-speakeasy. Get the address and push the doorbell for entrance. Word to the wise, the place is tiny, so unless you have the luck of a thousand genies on your side, you will be waiting. We came around 5:30 on a Saturday and waited about 90 minutes before we got the text to come back. You can't go far because once your table is ready, you've got 10 minutes to get back. One last note on the tiny-ness of the space - they pack you in tight. Uncomfortably tight. We were literally touching thighs with the people on either side of us, a situation that is never comfortable, especially if one of them gets a bit antsy, and who doesn't after a couple cocktails? (2) Their bathroom doors are fake bookcases. I was confused at first, but then I pushed in and felt like I was in a Scooby Doo episode searching for a villain dressed like a ghost, or maybe in a knight costume. But in this version, you take off the mask to reveal it's actually a suspender-clad bartender mixing up something delicious. (3) The menus are always changing and quite small, but they can go off menu easily. For our first round, we went on menu, but the second, we went off. My wife asked if they could make a brandy alexander, and it was one of the best she's ever had. I asked for something bourbon or rye based and bitter, and he brought back a tasty Toronto. The only complaint I have about the menu is I wish they would post their old menus on their website like Copycat Co. does. I believe the waiter told us they change it daily, so who knows how many great concoctions will go undiscovered. (4) Energetic vibe and great music. (5) Top notch service. It's a killer combo, you really should give them a try if you enjoy cocktails. With Martha Dear making some stellar pizza across the street, and Suns Cinema offering the funkiest cinema/bar vibes in DC down the way, plus Raven Grill a few doors down, Mount Pleasant has suddenly become a solid weekend destination. read more

Buzzy and highly recommended by every local bartender we asked for speakeasy recommendations. You may be looking for a trip to the dentist but there's no anesthesia needed for this bar experience. We opted for one specialty cocktail off the menu each, as well as a bartenders choice for our second drink. The "smoking jacket" "mint daiquiri" and both our bartenders choice drinks were phenomenal and unique. They make their ice in house and it was an underrated detail!! The front of house staff, our waiter and the bartender were all kind and helpful. We can't wait to come back for their happy hour. No reservations accepted but there are so many amazing local restaurants nearby if you need to be added to the wait list. This place is more than "OK" in our books. read more
