I came to Wild Days for a 30 and up rooftop event for Memorial Day. Parking around the Eaton can be…read moredifficult, but thankfully I found a spot in front of the entrance. Wild Days is a decent size on the inside, but as far as rooftops go, the outside balcony isn't the biggest. They do have tables, high chairs, and lounge chairs for relaxing. I ordered a Pistolgrip Pump, which consisted of Wild Turkey Bourbon, Courvoisier, Italian Chocolate, and Mr Black. It was well balanced and the chocolate added a nice touch of sweetness without being too much.

I've been to Wild Days twice - one for the bar and one time for a private event. Drinks were more…read morelike 3 stars but I really liked the space and the views, hence the 4 stars. This place is at the rooftop of the Eaton hotel and has a solid view of some of the city center buildings. I like how it has an outdoor area with big tables but also couches. The heat lamps definitely warm the space enough. On the inside, there is a big enough space for a dance floor and a DJ booth. Mini tables and big couches along the outer edge. Drinks wise - the G&T and margs were pretty standard, but strong. They do a have a cocktail menu but it was hard to find and the staff wasn't very straightforward about it. I can see this as a nice venue to host a small party or somewhere to kick back with friends the next time I'm in DC!

From the moment you walk in, you're stepping into a visually stunning space that blends luxury with a lively, social atmosphere. The décor is bold and immersive, but what really sets this place apart is the music. Every track felt intentional, perfectly curated, and honestly some of the best I've heard at any venue in DC. It's the kind of place where you catch yourself staying longer than planned because the vibe just doesn't miss. The crowd is vibrant, the energy is high, and everything flows effortlessly from the drinks to the overall experience. Whether you're out for a celebration, a night with friends, or just want to elevate your weekend, ZOOZ delivers on every level. DC has a lot of spots, but very few truly stand out. This is one of them. I'll absolutely be back.

When I heard that this was the after party for the event ceremony I was a part of, I was pretty…read moreexcited. But upon arrival, I realized that they changed a few things. They had a late night happy hour that was really the allure for random weeknights, and I thought it it made them stand out among others in the area. Unless it's some secret menu item now (I don't think it is), the late night happy hours gone. But this was the most full I had seen ZOOZ, and I was so happy for them. But it didn't seem like they were :/. All the times I have been here, I had always said to myself that I wish they were more crowded because people are missing out. But something was up with the staff that night, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on! Between the lack of happy hour and the staff, the vibe was off, completely. Maybe I would stop in during when they're happy hour actually is now, but otherwise I wouldn't be back.

It's pretty easy to hop on an elevator and make your way to the top floor. Once you get off, bathrooms are to the right, and the restaurant itself is to the left. The space is nice, and they have a vast outdoor area... but it was cold! There was a special menu and karaoke going on, so I went to the bar and got some water and an order of the jerk chicken skewers. Once I got my receipt, I noticed immediately that the skewers were charged the regular price and not the discounted one for the event. It got resolved, but it took 15 minutes. That aside, I really enjoyed the jerk chicken skewers... great flavor and texture. I can't speak on any other food, or tell you how the place is at its peak, but I bet it's a hot summer spot. Will have to try it again some time!

Big shoutout to Brook, who was our main bartender most of the night and made fiiiire cocktails. Also shoutout to Eden, John, and Kee who were awesome too and made everything feel really welcoming. Also lucked up when we came and had a spot/table without a reservation! Definitely a spot we'd come back to for good music and drinks. Catching golden hour was also a huge plus! Beautiful view.

The old scallywag was a great old fashioned. The spritz was very refreshing and not too sweet. Overall, would recommend and would definitely revisit.

Unfortunately, I didn't save enough room for the crème brûlée, but that just gives me another reason to return. Next time, I'm planning to come back for dessert and enjoy the live music!

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.

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.
