The bartender was the one who made the drink menu, and told us the inspiration and stories behind each drink. Not only were they incredibly tasty and complex, but his explanations served to enhance the experience. For food, we ordered fried green tomatoes, calamari, the jack smash burger, the crawfish rangoons, and the fig and pig. All were excellent. It was my friends first time eating fried green tomatoes, as well as any sort of Rangoon, and he gave them both the stamp of approval!

Met a friend here. Forgot how much I like this place!! The atmosphere and the vibe were very cool…read more My friend is vegetarian and had other seafood dietary restrictions so there was only one thing on the menu he could eat- the corn agnoloti he liked it. And he liked his whiskey choices although they were out of the first one he ordered. I started with a whiskey sour- a drink I haven't had since I was at an Italian wedding! It was delicious. The I got the grilled Barramundi and it did not disappoint. The portion was big. We finished with an amazing pecans pie In which they brought out extra whip cream upon request. Highly recommend.

The drinks were so tasty and reasonable during happy hour! The service was great - fast, friendly, and the perfect amount of checking-in. This is a great place to meet up with a small group of friends to catch-up. We shared the deviled eggs and grilled cheese. Only complaint is that they won't divide the bill - like at all. The best they'd do is divide it evenly. I mean, if Perkins can do it, this place (with a premium on food and drink) can definitely do it. ‍ Still - I'll be back. Gotta work my way through that drink menu!

My coworkers and I originally planned to come here for a happy hour and ended up coming with a much…read morelarger group. There was a bit of a hiccup with the reservation and party size but they were able to accommodate us for a limited time in between reservations. The waitress was ok, she was a little unpleasant in some of her one on one customer service but I assume that because this bar is probably usually busy, that type of service goes unnoticed however it wasn't very busy when we were there. Regardless, the drinks were really good and the prices weren't unreasonable. The decor and atmosphere was really nice and lent itself well to being a speakeasy. I think this would be a great happy hour or even casual date spot. I'd come back in the future.

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.

Good cocktails. Killer Sally was refreshing but a bit too sweet for me. Old Fashioned Fireplace was…read moregreat, definitely chocolatey and coffee-y. I find Old Fashioned generally a bit too strong for me, but this one was very smooth and rich, and I really enjoyed it. It is definitely heavy though! Very crowded on a Friday night, around 6-7 pm (we were lucky to snag an empty table 10 minutes later). Good service, especially when it was so busy in the night.

Igloos: We were greeted by name and shown to our igloo, which was set up with 2 heaters, a variety of comfortable seating and plenty of pillows and blankets. They also provide a Bluetooth speaker so you can play your own music. Once zipped up the igloo was warm and cozy. The igloos can accommodate a maximum of 6 people. Food and Drink: We received a celebratory complimentary champagne toast which was a nice touch. We chose seasonal cocktails which were delicious. The igloos have their own special menu, from which we chose raclette, sliders and hummus platter. The regular bar menu is also available. Everything was delicious and our server was so pleasant and full of information about the Watergate and its history. We finished with a selection of desserts. Parking is valet. Just let them know you're going to the bar.

I wish we would have been able to try the food, but that just means we'll have to come back again! The people next to us ordered the "little bit of everything" and popcorn and I would be lying if I said I wasn't jealous...Perfect GIRL DINNER item lol. Our drinks were really good and the bar does a seasonal/themed cocktail menu which I loved. It's a bit tight in there if they get busy so just go closer to when they open if that's not your thing!

I love all things Christmas and I love going to Christmas pop up bars…read more However quitting alcohol 3 years ago has not really get well with my overall bar experiences. With non-alcoholic culture on the rise I am seeing more places offering non-alcoholic drinks. Such was the case with the Miracle Christmas Pop Up bar by Black Whiskey. The pop was cute and being handled by 2 very skilled bartenders. I had the snow day sipper and it was delicious. They do have more non-alcoholic drinks to offer but everything looked good on the menu. I highly recommend you checkout this pop up. They also have a pool table.

Sometimes the pour is like 25% of the cost of a bottle. A bit shocking. Enjoyed my time here and liked the workers here, just not very economical in the long run as it's much easier to go find the bottles yourself and drinking at home. But if you must for social purposes and you're a fan, try it out. Also docking a point for the cloudy ice cube.

The Dignitary served me one of the most nostalgic and lovely drinks I've ever had. I'm not going to claim that it will be five stars for everyone, but the No Doubt About It made me feel like a kid again, all the way down to the slightly undissolved clumps of cocoa powder in the hot chocolate. Add in a very adult dose of rye whiskey and a dash of creme de menthe, and you have a drink that I'll be recommending to everyone I know for as long as it's on the menu. Thank you for the alcoholic version of a warm hug on a day that I really needed it.

I got the Lucha Rosa signature drink and then a Paloma. Both were great, they were strong but the taste of alcohol wasn't unbearable at all. That's the mix I like. The service is good too with the bartenders attending to you pretty regularly. Their food isn't impressive at all though so I'd recommend eating elsewhere after ge a drink in the sun here. We got beef and chicken tacos which weren't great but filled us up since we were starving.
