This is such a cute bar. Great ambiance and fun place to hang out with friends. I got the Calling all Angels, which features rum, scotch, pineapple, green chartreuse, almond milk, and citrus.
Perfect vibe for a catch-up, nightcap, or date. L'Annexe is located in the heart of Georgetown and their cocktails were well worth the visit. Inventive with creative takes on classics (the rotating old fashioned included duck fat - yes it was delicious), L'Annexe provided a great atmosphere with light music, a casual buzz from the conversations taking place, and friendly and attentive bartenders working their magic and making great recommendations. While we didn't come for food, we could not say no to some light bites. This is a gem and one we look to revisit soon!
Great bar in Georgetown. You might miss it while walking around in the area, but I highly recommend. I came here with co-workers after work for some drinks. The bartender was professional and well-versed with his work. There are unique drinks that really work well for anyone. The bartender made the drinks a little strong, but that's better than being watered down. The atmosphere is great, and it feels cozy in here. Can't say anything about the food here as we just had drinks. The bathrooms are located in the basement.
Grabbed a cocktail with friends on their outside patio on the street. Service was attentive and came back to check in on us a few times. Drinks were wonderfully tasty (albeit pricy) and unique. I'll be back to check out the inside!
Fabulous bar! Definitely worth a repeat! Great service, cozy environment, with a natural look and feel, and just the right type of food in the menu to not distract from the fact that it is a cocktail place. We tried a few of the drinks, and I can say every single one of them was delicately prepared by the mixologist at the bar. Highly recommend!!
L'Annexe is beautiful, cozy and sophisticated with incredibly innovative and thoughtfully made cocktails! I've been here a handful of times now, often after dinner somewhere nearby. Twice I've been seated in the main dining area, once in the lounge space and most recently at the bar. Truth be told, I've had a wonderful visit every time. But as someone who truly likes to experience the magic behind the bar, I would say that I had the most fun I had was this past visit when we were seated at the bar. Of course it helps that a bartender that I've known over the years from other establishments was holding court that night, keeping us entertained and dazzling us with "surprise me" cocktails. The first cocktail I tried was Queen of the South (cilantro macerated reposado tequila, lime,habanero-cilantro shrub, egg white.) Although it wasn't something I wouldn't usually order it was delicious and packed quite the punch. My second cocktail was a PB&J Old Fashioned and THAT, my friend was my jam (er, jelly?) Ivan was bartending and as always, so professional, so knowledgeable, so hospitable and always 100 percent good vibes. It seemed like everyone else seated at the bar was having the exact same experience we were, enjoying themselves. Seriously, though this place is top notch if you enjoy craft cocktails. If you haven't been, make sure to check it out!
A low-key but still lively bar in Georgetown with a great selection of cocktails. We stopped in after dinner on my birthday. The manager and our server were very friendly. Our server, Will, helped us pick the perfect cocktails based on our preferences and made the night extra special for us. Exceptional service, sophisticated cocktails and a classy environment. Would definitely recommend!
I came here for the first time for a double date with friends. It was a Friday night, we didn't make reservations but we were able to be seated in the backroom which was amazing. Service: Ivan and the rest of the team were fantastic. They seated us with a group of other folks that were strangers, but because they made the experience seem so friendly. It didn't feel awkward at all. They checked in on us and made sure that we were cool, and I never felt isolated from the overall restaurant experience, even though we were in the back. Ambiance: this place is truly chic. Perfect for a date night or a special occasion. The main restaurant has dimmer lighting so it's kind of romantic while the back room with a little bit well better lit, and had a conversation style seating with books and tchotchkes all around the room everywhere my eyes looked I saw something new and interesting, which I loved. There was upbeat music playing in the background that wasn't overpowering, and really set the tone for good vibes. Cocktails: the drink menu was a true, true cocktail bar. Super interesting mixes from savory to sweet to tangy. There was definitely some thing for every pallet. My tablemates and I ordered a little bit of everything, and everyone enjoyed all of the drinks that we had. 5/5 I will definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for cute night out or a vibey cocktail experience with minimal fuss.
Came here for some drinks and the wait took awhile. We got the espresso martini, which wasn't bad. A little too strong for my taste so my boyfriend finished mine.
Beautiful. Delicious cocktails, very interesting Ingredients and from my understanding they change the menu often. We went around 6 on a Wednesday when it was empty but it filled up very quickly.
Visited on a Sunday afternoon to try the craft cocktails and small bites. We were seated in the front bar area near the window which was open and nice with lots of table space for a group. The service was great - Connor was great and was very knowledgeable about the menu providing us with drink recommendations and food recommendations of some of the restaurant favorites. I truly enjoyed the shrimp ceviche and goat cheese lollipops. We also had the burrata flatbread slices which was a little tough in texture to eat and had an overly healthy amount of toppings which was a little messy to eat. This is a craft cocktail bar so the drinks are very thoughtful and have interesting flavors. I tried the Beach Blanket - blueberry macerated rum yellow Chartreuse allspice and cinnamon and nutmeg. It is smoked with a cinnamon stick and was full and sweet. The team was prompt in clearing the table and bringing dishes as well as checking in on our table. I would love to visit in the evening to experience the interior seating and more of the cocktail menu. There is street parking and nearby paid deck parking $$

If you're looking for good craft cocktails in the Georgetown area, look no further than L'Annexe. Here's what you need to know: 1. Reservation recommended. The place is also larger than expected so there might be space is you're a walk in. 2. The cocktail list has boozy yet creative items that are sure to satisfy the pickiest drinkers. 3. The food portions are smaller but are really meant to complement the drinks. 4. Very French staff, which adds to the experience. read more
Pretty good vibe and palatable cocktails with reasonable prices; especially in G town. It would be a lovely spot for a friends night out over the weekend, but if I were you, I would try to get there before 9pm. Otherwise, it will be pretty packed. It seems they do import new drinks into their menu here and there. So yes, absolutely worth a second visit for more explorations. BTW, me and my wife's favorite was the V&TO, very refreshing and easy to sip on. read more
Hip spot for a drink in Georgetown. Really great date vibes. We stopped in for a drink before dinner and probably would have gotten more than one but the service was a tad bit slow so we had our drink and left. We enjoyed the V&TO and the Queen of Diamonds and would highly recommend either! read more
The atmosphere here was very nice. There was a good design/layout to the area and the noise level was energetic, but it was not difficult to hear the people at my table. The drinks were good and different from what you tend to find at other restaurants in DC. However, while I enjoyed the experience the following items brought down the experience. I tried to contact the restaurant several times to update my reservation and got no response. The booking was set for 90 minutes which I only found out once I arrived. In the 90 minutes, the server only returned once so we were unable to get more than one round of drinks. Overall, this was a decent experience. I hope that they improve on some of the items above but other than that this is not a bad place to go. read more
Pretty decent spot for cocktails and a bite to eat. My husband and I ordered the raclette burger and were a bit disappointed by the portion size. The eat was thick, but the overall burger size reminded us of a slider and it was accompanied by approximately 5 large potato wedges. I did enjoy my One Way Ticket to Anywhere drink (mango infused cachaca, almond, coconut, orgeat, passionfruit, yuzu, and tangerine) though. Not sure I would go out to Georgetown just for the cocktails here. read more

We randomly walked by this place and thought the ambiance is very cool, cozy overall great vibe. The cocktails are legit good!! And looks good!! Great for instagram posts and stories. I highly recommend this place to all of my friends and co workers. The bartender is very friendly. Second time we went to this place we had the back area and we love it! I was like oh wooow!! This is the place to be for a small party or get together. Planning to have a small party soon here so i hope we can get reservations for my boyfriend's promotion partyz read more
Stopped in for a quick drink before dinner but was blown away at the quality of the drinks and the ambiance! Pictured are the Wild margarita chapter III and Queen of Diamonds. The Queen of Diamonds was a lightly sweet drink but the Margarita was amazing with a specialty in-house made Tajin/cumin rim. Our waiter came out with crunchy spiced corn alongside the drinks which was nice. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while but every time I want to go here, there is a wait. But I walked in on a Thursday evening and got seating at the bar without any issues. The drinks here were spectacular and beautiful. I like gin and they had a few different gin cocktails on the menu, so I loved that. I overheard the bartender say they're opening a speakeasy towards the end of the year so I'll definitely be coming back to check that out. read more

I came to L'Annexe for a birthday drink with friends, and I thought it was great. I ordered the Queen Peach, which has vodka with eggwhite, peach, and balsamic vinegar, among other ingredients. The drink was to die for and I enjoyed every sip! Our server was very nice and our drinks came out pretty quickly. I loved the ambiance, and the bathrooms were particularly well decorated, which I can always appreciate! The drinks were a little pricey, which I understand given the quality but I also think you can find similar quality drinks in DC for a couple bucks less. Overall a great place for a nice celebratory cocktail, but not somewhere I'd come to order more than one drink. read more

Wow, came here for the first time and was amazing. Service was above and beyond, food and drink were fabulous. We got the cheese board selection, side of potato wedges, and creme brûlée. For drinks I tried the old fashion of the week which was matcha green tea and almond. The flavor was perfectly balanced. Not too sweet or bitter or spirit forward. Definitely recommend trying this or any other cocktail. Also tried Violet hour and was more refreshing of a drink and also well balanced. The creme brûlée texture was perfect and flavor was so so good. We left happy and full and definitely recommend coming here read more

Fantastic cocktail bar. I've been back out to restaurants since being vaxxed but have always been disappointed because the hiring shortage has affected the service in restaurants greatly. I was not disappointed here AT ALL. Great ambiance, perfect service (attentive, but not hovering), the owner was there seating people and clearly took well-deserved pride in making patrons feel at home. I asked a question about one of their inventive and unusual cocktails, and the owner sent the beverage director over to explain the process. It's clear he cares deeply about making interesting, inventive, accessible, and delicious cocktails. The foods was also unusual and very tasty. We had the mushroom toast, the foie gras, and the pork belly. The mushroom toast was meaty and unctuous; the pork belly crispy and the flavors delightful; the foie was a bit more like pâté, but delicious nonetheless. I am so happy to have finally had a positive post-vax dining experience. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I love this place, this was my second time coming and definitely the best due to our waiter Peter! He was amazing and really made the experience so good. I loved his personality and how he interacted with us. The drinks here are so good and definitely worth the price, they are next level. Highly recommend if you're in the area and popping around a few places! read more

Cutest cocktail bar! I've been here plenty of times and usually sit at the bar area, however, I finally decided to reserve the library to celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday. It's a $65 minimum per person to occupy the library, which is easy to fulfill if you're going to indulge in their finger food and delicious specialty cocktails! We also got shots and one of our servers (think she said her name was Carolina) made the birthday girls shot special. Our male server (forgot his name but he was Asian) was so nice and attentive. They both recommended good options on the food and the cocktails. We downed those drinks like water because they were so good! Which reminds me, huge plus that theres a designated bathroom for the library! Overall we had an amazing time and got super cute pictures! (Thank you Hakim for taking our pictures!) 10/10 recommend if you plan to just stay at one location for the night, so worth the price! read more
Amazing cocktails! They're incredibly innovative especially with the Karachi's return to grand port-- I never thought I'd love cumin in a drink so much. The cheese board I wouldn't get again (it's not bad but not worth the price). The vibes inside are moody and would make for a nice date night spot. The service is wonderful and they'll explain the drinks to you if you get confused like I did read more

L'annexe is an amazing cocktail bar with a great ambiance. The drinks and service are fantastic and I had the pleasure of meeting their beverage director last night. He has made a phenomenal cocktail list and while this was my first visit, it won't be my last. Drinks are definitely on the higher end so be prepared to spend a fair amount - but I think it's worth it! Already cannot wait to go back. read more

Georgetown it can be difficult to catch a good chill vibe. This place is everything from bar, food,and ambiance! The bartender are amazing and very engaging and on any given night the owner is mixing and mingling with guest. This was my first visit on a Friday night with a girlfriend and will not be my last. We told the bartender what we like to drink and he had many great suggestions. They are true mixologist and passionate about every drink made. I was feeling a little hungry and got the skewer..... it's such a tender meat, falls right off the skewer. This would not be an accurate review if I didn't speak to the dessert..... we ended the night with the Creme' Brulee' it's is AMAZING!!!!!! Perfect level of sweetness! I can't wait for my next visit! read more

Try! This! Place! My friend and I were hooked from the moment we walked in- it's got a dark but quiet ambience. The library room in the back looks like a set from a thriller-mystery movie, filled with floor-to-ceiling shelves of books, trinkets, and jars of mysterious liquid (which, it turns out, are some of their signature cocktails). I had an On The Vine- sparkling wine, melon flavored vodka, and cucumber juice. It was like nothing I had ever tasted before but I thoroughly enjoyed it! What really won me over, however, was the incredible customer service. All the waitstaff and managers were so friendly- I think every single one must have greeted us at some point, and they were all jovial and outgoing. It is definitely on my list to come back with more friends and try out some of their other interested mixed drinks! read more
