    Mac and Cheese was sooo delicious and creamy - highly recommend. Tots were perfect, the wrap exactly what I needed. Nice environment, right on campus, and have lots of options all around. Our server Anna was attentive, nice and helped us out with some info for the town (we're tourists). Go check them out!

    Cherry Blossom special
    Alice J.

    This is a combined review of our recent Friday night and Thursday night visit (across 2 weeks). In both cases we made reservations, were seated as soon as we arrived, and got our quiet corner (upstairs, big roundtable that is half a booth). They have cherry blossom specials menu on our second visit (Thursday March 26). See my photo. Cherry Popsicle cocktail. Creative! I had Sakura salad, very good. Last week (that was the Friday visit) I had the American burger, nice enough. They are famous for their tater tots. We always order that as appetizers. Service could be hit or miss. Dishes were served fast enough, but our waitress disappeared and we couldn't find her when we were ready to pay.

    Chef's Smoking Pork Belly

    This is a Foggy Botton staple in NW DC, just minutes from my preferred hotel. It's SO cozy and perfect for an easy date night. It's in a college enclave, but does not feel exclusive or a study hall extension - so all kind of folks were in there. Hubby and I came in on a chilly evening and enjoyed a few warm, savory bites and a night cap. That night, it was all about the tater tots with the dipping sauce trios! The pork belly was interesting, but a bit more saucy than I'd prefer, so maybe next time I'll ask for sauce on the side. The wings were wings - nothing exceptional, but did the job. The highlights were the warm service from the hostess stand to our server, and the free library nook in our booth - a nod to the nearby GW University college vibe.

    Small mac and side of tots.
    Fiona Z.

    Good service, good and crispy tots, decent mac and cheese. 20% gratuity with a 4.75% surcharge not out of the norm for D.C. I was pleasantly surprised by how good their mac and cheese was since reviews seemed to vary. The mac and cheese was surprisingly creamy although not particularly cheddar cheesy, so if you're expecting a sharper cheese taste, this may not be the mac and cheese for you. The mini mac ($11) was fairly filling and paired with a side of tots ($5), I was set.

    Smoked salmon burger and tots
    Angie K.

    I came here with a fairly large group for an event. The servers were all friendly, it was an order at the bar or with your phone sort of arrangement it seemed. The upstairs was a nice sized space for an event. Decided to order some food. I got the salmon burger and the tater tots. The tater tots were delightful. The salmon burger was disappointing. It claimed it was a smoked salmon burger and really just seemed more like the frozen salmon burgers I can buy at Costco. Preparation was decent at least and it wasn't over cooked and did I mention tater tots? There was also a pre-added gratuity which is fine, but a bit sneaky since there were also lines for additional tip. It's likely worth a visit when I'm not there for a large group event, so I'll have to give that a shot and order something else, with tater tots!

    The tots here are excellent! The rest of the food doesn't do much for me, but you can't go wrong ordering any of their tots, especially the loaded ones. I appreciate that this is a very niche review, but sometimes a place does one specific thing really well. There is a lot more space upstairs, so it's an easy spot to grab a bite.

    Coconut Curry Tofu
    Matthew F.

    Went to GW for my undergrad, so I knew from experience that Tonic at Quigley's reputation is generally... not usually higher than decent on a good day and mediocre most days. The running joke among my generation of students being the former pharmacy will have you going to a real one afterward. In any case, I had a gift card and decided to give them another chance. The customer service was okay; the servers and bartender were amiable enough, but generally disinterested in small talk or anything beyond "What are you ordering?" Very college kid mentality; I get it having been one not long ago, but I did wish for a bit more engagement. I ordered the tomato soup and the coconut curry tofu. The soup was fairly solid, savory and hearty. Probably could have used a little more peppercorn and garlic, but nothing super critical. The tofu was decent; a bit crumbly but it stayed together, and it was generally evenly-cooked save for some burnt portions. The veggies were also decent; crisp and a bit chewy, nothing too offensive about them. The curry, however, was quite bland and in dire need of some spices; cardamom, cloves, allspice, etc. all seemed missing, and the primary spice component seemed to be cumin and chili. The jasmine rice was, well, jasmine rice, nothing much else to say. Would be nice if there was a lower-GI substitute like brown rice, but there isn't. Again, I have some fond memories at Tonic from a decade ago, but the novelty of an eclectic eatery with locally-famous tatter tots in a historic pharmacy has certainly worn off. Would highly advise the management to not whitewash cultural foods and lean into authenticity a bit more. Especially at the prices being charged; this relatively simple vegetarian meal cost over $35 after tax. That's a bit extortionate, even by downtown DC standards.

    ugh

    Came for a game and a drink (maybe snack) but settled for the last 15 min of a game (took 10-20min just to talk to someone and had the TV channel changed). Once we got our drink orders in, everything was smooth, though. The weekend day time food menu is extremely limited with only brunch options (limited appetizers or snacks), so we ended up skipping a snack and just settled on our draft drinks. The brunch menu seemed good, just not there for hours of eating, just something to pair with our alcohol and munch on while watching the game. In this sense it was a disappointing bar/pub experience.

    Dilcia's Wrap
    Samantha G.

    Had a great birthday dinner experience. Place was cute, staff was (mostly) friendly and service was fast. All you can really ask for in a restaurant. Lots of options, just picture you typical bar/American/finger food, with a couple of zesty items such as taco salad and coconut curry tofu. Great gluten free options, they make it very clear which options are GF which is extremely helpful. They do in fact charge for birthday desert which is dumb.

    Tonic Happy Hour is hands down one of the most underrated spots in DC! It's super convenient for college students like me, but honestly, it's the perfect happy hour for anyone. My friends and I have made it a weekday ritual to hit the Tonic patio, unwind, and grab some drinks and food! The standout for me has to be their signature chicken tots with mambo sauce. Pretty much everything on their happy hour menu is under $10, which makes it an incredible deal, especially given the quality of the food and drinks. Even outside of happy hour, their regular menu delivers solid portions, great flavors, and something for everyone. Whether you're there for a quick bite or a full dinner, you really can't go wrong with Tonic!

    This college bar is on the George Washington University campus. There are two floors of diners and lots of tables inside and out. This is an old historic pharmacy that's turned into a casual restaurant bar. Happy to walk in from the National Mall and be able to get a table for lunch A Very nice casual lunch menu with a big bar. They are known for their tater tot and they have a whole top menu, including tater tot covered in nachos. My husband ordered salad and I ordered a California veggie burger with tots of course. Ainsley, our server took good care of us. My burger was very good. I enjoyed the tater tots with the three different dipping sauces. My husband wasn't impressed with his nacho salad. Lunch was generous and reasonable, but we were surprised at 3% surcharge was added to our bill .

    Azam's first lemon drop martini...delicious!!
    Debs v.

    We had a great small meal at Tonic! We sat at the bar and Azam was our bartender. She was very fun and sweet! I ordered a lemon drop martini and after she served it to me, she let me know that she had only been bartending for two weeks and this was her first lemon drop martini...and she wanted honest feedback on it. Honestly, she nailed it! It was perfect! Not overly sweet, but not crazy strong. Of course I ordered two! My husband ordered the pale ale that was on tap and he said it was delicious (also ordered a second!). We got the tater tots appetizer and we split a hamburger. Both were tasty and fresh. Azam was quick to bring me a side of the burger sauce upon request. I've already recommended Tonic to a friend who is coming to DC next month!! I wish they had better merchandise to purchase because I thought a shirt with their name would be cool, but they only had shirts with funny sayings on them. Maybe next time!! Tonic has a cool neighborhood vibe to it! If I lived here, I'd totally hang out here!!

    The Spread: Tim's Chicken Tots ($7), Tater Tots ($8), and Nachos with Taco Beef ($9)

    Tonic at Quigley's is a charming bar situated right outside the heart of George Washington University's campus. Formerly known as the Quigley Pharmacy, this small bar utilizes all levels of its historic building, including a take-out counter, a private function room, and ample outdoor seating. The decor captures the history of the building and GWU through vintage photos, period elixir and tonic advertisements, and fun GW memorabilia, all complemented by several televisions for viewing Colonials basketball games or other programs. With hardwood furnishings and a patio perfect for hot summer days, Tonic offers a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. We made a reservation for seven people for a Thursday at 6pm, and it was a good call, as the restaurant and patio were nearly full. Happy Hour runs on weekdays until 7pm, offering most drinks and shareable appetizers for less than $10--a fantastic deal. They have a convenient system where you can order through your phone by scanning a QR code, with the option to order as a group or individually. We chose to order three appetizers as a group and each got our own drinks. The drinks arrived within five minutes, and my friends enjoyed their various selections. The standout was the $6 Frose, an adult slushie made with "Frozen house rose, agave syrup, and seasonal fruit puree." The house red and various beers were also hits among my friends. The appetizers were a pleasant surprise! We shared Tim's Chicken Tots ($7), described as "fried boneless chicken bites tossed in your favorite tonic sauce." We tried every sauce on the side, including "Bernie's Spicy, BBQ, Extra Stupid Hot!, Mambo, sweet Thai chili, Old Bay, blue cheese or ranch." Our favorites were Bernie's Spicy, Sweet Thai Chili, and the daring "Extra Stupid Hot!" which packs a nice kick. The chicken, resembling popcorn chicken, was crispy and came in a takeout box reminiscent of Chinese takeout. We also enjoyed their Tater Tots ($8), which were perfectly deep-fried and crispy. Lastly, we ordered the Nachos ($9), which comes with your choice of Taco Beef (we chose this), chicken, or Spicy Tofu, along with homemade cheese sauce, shredded cheese, tortilla chips, salsa, guacamole, black beans, jalapeños, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes. This was a mountain of food! The chips retained a lovely crunch, and the fresh toppings and meat were generous, especially for the price. Overall, we had a fantastic time at Tonic. Their happy hour offerings are unbeatable, the service is snappy, and the food and drinks are excellent. Tonic is a must-visit in the GWU area!

We initially came for happy hour, but moved to the cocktail menu. The hh was a bit limited, but the drinks were priced overall pretty reasonably for the area. My one complaint is the wine glasses were so teeny. Overall though, I would recommend this bar. Bonus: cheese balls when you sit down! I believe there is also a limited food menu (think nachos) for the after work or late night crowd.

There's smoke, fire, color transformations, unexpected vessels, house infusions, and plenty of moments that make you stop and ask, "Wait...what are they about to do?" The concept carries throughout the entire menu but what impressed me most is that the presentation didn't feel like a replacement for the actual cocktails. The flavors still showed up! I tried a few drinks and each gave me a completely different experience. The Banana Bread Rum Old Fashioned was probably my biggest surprise. I don't usually gravitate toward Old Fashioneds because they can be a little spirit-forward for my taste, but the banana, coconut, and walnut notes made this one incredibly approachable. It genuinely reminded me of banana bread while still drinking like a cocktail. Killer Sally was another standout... Gin and I have a complicated relationship, so I wasn't expecting this to be one of my favorites. The lavender, lemon, and rhubarb balanced the gin beautifully, and the flaming garnish was a perfect show! Give Me Butterflies was playful, bright, and citrusy... another gin cocktail I surprisingly enjoyed. It's made with house-infused butterfly pea gin and lemon. Served in a beaker with a beautiful color-changing element. It The atmosphere was intimate, dark, and perfect for the concept, and sitting there watching cocktails smoke, glow, change color, and catch fire makes the bar genuinely fun to experience.

I already know I'll be back because there are way too many things on that menu I still need to try.

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.

Highly recommend. It made me curious about what else they could offer. I noticed almost everyone was doing the $48 four-course tasting experience, so I decided to give it a try. Although I'm not a big fan of deep-fried food, I actually really liked the coconut shrimp tempura. Among the four courses, the yellowtail "roll" was the most special. It's not really a roll in the traditional sense -- crispy on the outside, with the yellowtail wrapped around it in a very creative presentation. The portion of the four- courses was surprisingly generous; I ended up taking most of it home. Since I Left You is an Old Fashioned variation with miso, blackberry, cardamom and cacao.

That probably says enough.

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.

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.
