    A friend came into town and we always frequent a new cigar bar and decided to give Casa De Montecristo a try. There is an outdoor patio to just enjoy the weather or watch some sports, inside was a bit smaller than expected and the upstairs was exclusively for members. One of the employees was really friendly and was able to assist us with what we were looking for. Drinks were okay, bartender seems a little inexperience. The atmosphere wasn't as cozy compared to other lounges but we enjoyed ourselves.

    The atmosphere was dope, super chill and laid back. Their selection of Cigars is amazing, actually one of the largest I've ever seen.

    Great selection of cigars and liquor, at a reasonable price. Staff is great and helpful. Live music in the evening on weekends.

    Found this spot to relax after a long day of meetings. I have visited a Casa de Montecristo in Las Vegas and Countryside, IL. Entering the shop, the lounge chairs are situated outside in an in closed patio with flatscreens. Stepping inside there is a full bar to the left and on the right, a multi section humidor, ceiling to floor, filled with premium cigars. It was packed but comfortable. I found a high table, picked my cigar and ordered my drink. The prices were decent, crowd had a good vibe and the staff were cool. The inside was small and no lounge chairs inside but I enjoyed my time and would come back.

    A friend and I were looking for a Cigar lounge after brunch and found this place, walkable from our restaurant. Sunday afternoon. Wasn't crowded. There are seating areas outside, and a bar and a few tables inside. Thankfully we found a high top table. The person who was helping us with the cigar, I can't think of his name, but was SUPER friendly and helpful. I don't typically smoke cigars so I told him I was a newbie and he recommended a cigar and the reason why. His name might've started with a K. Whoever, he was on July 16 @ 4pm, he deserves a promotion :p He cut our cigars for us and offered to light them, but my friend had their own cigar equipment :) Bartender was nice and helpful. No food, but full bar with wine & beer. There is also happy hour (see photos). Nice Ventilation system Members only area upstairs Bathroom for women contained one toilet. Large bathroom. Mouthwash also. Street parking but you could probably also find parking garages in the area

    Absolutely first rate selection of cigars at incredible prices. This place is staffed with very polite and knowledgeable staff and is comfortable. You can sit at the long bar or a high top table; or you can go the front-facing enclosed patio which has both high and "normal" chairs and tables. This place should not be missed if you want a great place to purchase and smoke cigars.

    My last day in DC I decided to stop by this awesome cigar lounge and kick back and relax. I'm from Florida so every place I travel I must visit a cigar lounge and I'm glad I stopped by this one. They have a very nice lounge downtown DC, staff is friendly, and a nice selection of cigars and full bar. I highly recommend this gem.

    Great service, great cigar selection & awesome air quality inside. Mid-range bourbon selection & a couple beers on tap. I'd come back for a day-time smoke or casual smoke

    I have no idea how this place has 4.5 stars. Good cigars, poor execution, careless bartenders. Asked for the cigar to be cut. Got a horrible chop job. Asked to sit upstairs in a comfy chair, and was rudely told that the area is for members only. Bartender promised to be right with us. As I'm right in front of their face, one is watching something on her phone and the other one ignoring us. God this place needs Blend. This is awful. The jug of bleach on the counter around food prep was icing on the cake.

Happy hour (3-7) offers beers ranging $1-3, wine $4-6, $7 margs, and I think a few other drink specials, but those options were good enough for me and I went with the wine. Service was a little slow at first, but the one bartender working was friendly and cheerful and doing her best to keep up with everyone until another two eventually showed up or came back from break. Atmosphere was really chill. I liked the dim lighting, everyone was casual and relaxed with a dj setting up in the corner, some hip hop and classic 00s rap bumping, and a steady flow of young-ish friend groups coming in for cheap beer around 5pm. I tried not to evesdrop on the couple next to me at the bar arguing, but their fight sort of added to the entertainment and general vibe. On the other side of me was an adorable couple unsuspectedly ordering fruity drinks and laughing. Totally will be back whenever the end of my work day brings me to this area.

This is such a perfect spot for either a date night or a fun night out with friends. The speakeasy vibe, the chic atmosphere, and the music (a smooth, chill house mix) all come together so effortlessly. Plus, being open until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays is a huge bonus. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time - this place stays busy for a reason. From my previous visit, I remember having a ravioli dish, what I believe was a braised beef, and their sliders with duck fat fries - all of which were incredible and clearly memorable since I was thinking about them for months. The sliders paired with those fries were honestly a standout. This time around, we had to get the duck fat fries again, and they were just as phenomenal as I remembered. The cheesesteak oysters were easily a 10/10 - fresh, meaty, and honestly surprising coming from someone who used to not even like oysters. We also tried the grilled octopus, which was well-seasoned (as expected, slightly chewy), and the fried calamari, which was light, not heavy at all, and paired perfectly with the sauces. The tuna tartare was another standout - super fresh, soft, and practically melted in your mouth. For drinks, we went all in. The Dirty Diamond martini with blue cheese olives was great, though if you like your martinis extra filthy, I'd recommend specifying that. The Hemingway Special had a nice subtle sour kick, and the vanilla mint espresso martini was strong (you can definitely taste the alcohol) but still smooth and frothy. The Mary Pickford with Malibu was surprisingly delicious - almost like a mocktail. The Paloma was solid, and the Code Red cocktail gave me slight cosmopolitan vibes. But the real star was the dulce de leche espresso martini--absolutely unforgettable. What really ties everything together here is the service. The staff - from the hosts to the servers - are attentive, welcoming, and genuinely elevate the experience. Overall, Code Red is one of those places you keep coming back to. If you're looking for a stylish speakeasy atmosphere with great food, drinks, and energy, this is it.

And if you know DC, then you know rooftops are not rare. They are everywhere. So the real question becomes: what exactly makes your rooftop worth it? Because let me tell you--VUE Rooftop is not it. Now, I will give credit where it is due. The atmosphere was nice. It was busy (expected), crowded (also expected), but oddly... no music. No available seating. Again, not shocking for a day like that. Fine. I make my way to the bar. I order a vodka water. Let me be very clear--a Tito's and water. H2O. Not infused. Not blessed. Not life-changing. The bartender was actually great--friendly, accommodating, even went to the kitchen to grab cucumber for me. No complaints there. When he asked if I wanted to start a tab, I did what any rational adult does--I asked for the price first. He smiles politely and says, "With taxes and service charge, that'll be $33." I'm sorry... what? Please refer to the picture I posted because I need witnesses. Thirty-three dollars. For a 6 oz drink. Y'all, I wanted to cuss so bad, but I also wanted Yelp to keep this review up--so just imagine the words I'm choosing not to type. Absolutely not. NO. SIR. Close my tab immediately. I turn to my friends to share this nonsense, and my friend casually says, "I just paid $130 for three shots and a vodka tonic." At that point, we were not just shocked--we were offended. There is nothing--nothing--about this place that justifies those prices except the fact that it sits dead center in tourist territory. And they know it. And they are banking on it. Shame on them. Do yourself a favor: keep your coins. There are plenty of rooftops in DC with better vibes, actual music, available seating, and drinks that do not require a small financial commitment. This one? Hard pass.
