This used to be a great spot to relax and enjoy cocktails. Unfortunately, a lot has changed since…read morethe owner, Keith McNally was actively involved, onsite and DJing regularly. Lately, the bar frequently runs out of ingredients needed for its signature cocktails, certain food items, service has become noticeably slower, and staff turnover appears to be high. When the owner was more present, the experience felt polished, the menu was consistently available, and customer service was top-notch. Today, it feels like the attention to detail is gone. What was once an elegant cocktail destination now feels more like an overpriced dive bar.

Our drinks were tasty, although the drink size itself was smaller than I'd like for the price, especially with the ice. The madeleines never showed up until we asked another waitress about it, so we got them for free because of the delay. They were tasty on their own without the given chocolate sauce, honestly. Price for them is not worth it though. Cute spot for a girls' night, but may be a one and done kind of spot for me.

We ordered a variety of cocktails and loved everything we tried, but the Vieux Carré was absolutely out of this world. The drinks were beautifully crafted, balanced, and full of character. Service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly helpful in navigating the menu and recommending drinks based on what we were in the mood for. That made the experience even more enjoyable. The ambience is fantastic, with a beautiful Prohibition-era vibe that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. They apparently also have jazz nights, which makes me want to return every time I'm in DC. We made a reservation for a weeknight and the place was already busy, so I'd definitely recommend reserving a spot. A must-visit for cocktail lovers in DC!

The bartenders make artisanal cocktails from scratch ingredients, and with some other obscure liquors they can take you down a journey of dark, broody flavors; light, old-fashioned fruity twists on classics, autism, genuinely peculiar, but delicious inventions. The inside is wonderfully blacked out aside from the candlelight that makes for the perfect after dinner drink on night out with someone special, or presumably talking over a long week at work.

We visited The Alchemist in DC and ordered the Banana Bread Rum Old Fashioned and a Fireplace…read morethemed cocktail with chocolate and cherry notes. Both were disappointing. The drinks tasted watered down and unbalanced. The banana flavor in mine was dull and overripe rather than fresh and vibrant. The smoke and fire presentation was nice, but the actual cocktails did not justify the $25 price point. The restroom was unacceptable. There was urine on the floor, a strong foul odor, and the surface was slippery. For a speakeasy positioning itself as upscale, this was a major miss. The space is very small and service was just okay. Overall, the concept has potential, but the execution did not meet expectations. I will not be returning.

We listen to all types of music so it wasn't a bother, but she did it for Every Single couple/group that walked in The Place smelled like OLD sitting water. Soon as I walked into the pizza place, my face soured up. Same deal downstairs, where they masked the smell with incense. Cheeze pizza slice was good.

I texted the number when I arrived and got the code. I was there 630 on a Saturday so it was pretty empty. Service was quick.

It honestly felt like one of those "come as you are" church situations .lol There were people in dressed in rompers, tights, Jordans . I actually felt a little overdressed. That said, the place was packed, which made for a fun atmosphere. The DJ was good overall, though at one point he started playing church music. I'm not sure if people were just tipsy or didn't notice, because everyone kept dancing anyway. lol The drinks were decent, and the final bill was surprisingly low, which was a nice bonus. Since we were celebrating a birthday, our waitress even gave us a complimentary birthday shot. I'd definitely return. I'm curious to see what the vibe is like during the week. Also, parking was easy there's was parking lot right across the street, which made things super convenient.

You can tell the chef genuinely aims to please, so I don't think you'll be disappointed with the food. Part of the fun is actually finding your way in. I won't give away the secret, but let's just say the elevator requires a special code to get you upstairs. That little touch makes it feel like a true speakeasy experience. Definitely a cool hidden gem in Baltimore and a spot I'd visit again!

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.

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.
