Went here with a group of friends and had a great time. The ambiance was cute but the food was average.

March 2021 - COVID Review: I was invited to attend Pastry Codex's French Macaron Class that's hosted at the lounge and it was a great time! We all wore masks and had socially distanced and disinfected stations! Chef Michael is very knowledgeable and patient with all of us since we were all beginners. I know how finicky these little cookies can be, but I enjoyed learning how to make them and French buttercream from scratch! I may still be buying from the pros in the meantime.... but still really cool to say that I was able to make a batch that didn't look half bad! At least they tasted great though. He offers many other types of baking classes that I hope to be able to try my hands at in the future! Ms. Peacock's is on the backside of The Boardroom and there's a garage attached where you can pay for hourly parking. If you go on a Sunday, street parking is free! read more

Era-themed glam with gemstone colored decor. There are group booths, a circular couch, and intimate tabletops. The bar provides a view of the entire spot. The Board Room sits on the other side of the exit/bathrooms. I have visited this location for multiple private events. I recommend Ms. Peacocks for special occasions, dates, and a night on the town. Superb service, private rooms, adjacent to a lit location, good food selection, and more! My wine club anniversary event was set here in 2022. We had a sparkling and champagne tasting. The list was curated by the staff. Written description of each glass helped move the day's event along. Private events, such as the Bourbon and Bubbles, and Sip n' Script make this such a fun venue for memorable interaction. read more

As much as I dislike leaving negative reviews, both times I've tried to visit Ms. Peacock's have been negative experiences. On two separate occasions, months apart, the staff has really been disappointing. The first time, some friends and I came here for a quick nightcap before turning in. It was an hour before closing, but the bartender acted like our presence there was an annoyance. We were served our drinks with attitude and then just given the check without asking for it. We were only going to stay a little while anyway, but the whole experience was off-putting and rude. Thinking this must have been a one off (hey, everyone has bad days), I returned with a second group of friends this past weekend. An hour and a half before closing time on a Saturday night, we walked in and the lady behind the bar told another employee (who was just sitting at a table not doing anything) to "tell them we're closed" in Spanish. Plot twist: I speak fluent Spanish and understood what she said, as well as the aggravated tone she took. I asked (in English) if they were open (they are open - Yelp, google, and their posted hours) and he tepidly answered "closing..." I didn't want to blow up their spot since ultimately, I don't want to be helped by someone who clearly doesn't want to help me, but come on. Listen, I understand people have off days but if you're open, be open. Don't act annoyed when customers walk in during business hours and want to pay you money. It's clearly not a one off situation. Maybe this place is good for private parties, but what could have been an amazing spot had really been ruined for me by the poor staff behavior. read more

Always a great experience! This is my go-to date night spot. It's nice to be able to try a variety of sparkling wines without having to commit to an entire bottle. The wine and cocktail list is great and the bartenders are always super knowledgeable and able to provide great recommendations. I tried a Spanish cava, a French brut, and a California rose based on recommendations and all 3 were fantastic with very different flavors. Their Friday $1 oyster special is also great to kick off the weekend! read more

Ms Peacocks Champagne Lounge - a glass of wine on a table - Champagne Bars Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Went here with a friend while we were walking around the Clarendon area. This place is sometimes hard to get to since it has limited hours and is booked at times for private events, but I was so happy it was open when I walked by! I've been trying to go for awhile now and was so happy it was available. This place had speakeasy vibes and lots of peacock decor - obviously! Very great photo opps. Cute inside and drinks were good and strong. It's small inside, but that's what adds to the charm. They have large mirrors inside which makes it feel a bit bigger. I really want to come back and bring my fiancée to have date night. This place was awesome and you feel cool just being part of the crowd by knowing about it. read more

Ms Peacocks Champagne Lounge - Champagne Bars Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Our drinks were served in plastic cups, the French 75 was more like a Fake 75, the bathroom was filthy and stank, the food was cold and the place closed at 11 p.m. instead of 2 a.m. as advertised. We were expecting a peacock, but got a chicken. My party of 5 visited this place two nights in a row and was disappointed both times. On Thursday we discovered it was closed for a private tasting; the waiter acted as if we were a bunch of clairvoyants and were somehow supposed to know that in advance. He then asked, "Were you not able to call ahead?" Yes, I suppose we should have just randomly called before we came. (Eye roll) Why not post the closing on the website so your patrons will know? But we were a determined, convivial bunch-determined to try the French 75, that is, so we called and made reservations for the next night. Well, we should have stayed home. The milieu of a 1920s champagne lounge with beautiful velvet banquettes and soft lighting was spoiled by a bunch of tacky plastic drinking cups. And don't get me started on the French 75. I didn't have one but everyone at the table who did gave it a firm thumbs down, though someone discovered later that all the gin was hiding at the bottom of the glass. I had a Le Fizz and was happy with it. My spanakopita was cold and barely cooked, but I ate it anyway. We'd planned to have two more friends join us until we found out the advertised hours were a complete lie-this place closed a full 4 hours early. Ms. Peacock's is a cool concept and has a great marketing team (I was drawn in by the pictures on the website and social media) but has some serious operational issues. Pray for them. read more

Came here on a Thursday for drinks after work. The doors were locked at 6:30pm. Apparently it's just the back of board room and is unattended. read more

Nestled in the backside of The Board Room, Virginia is Ms. Peacock's Champagne Lounge. The lounge is reminiscent of eras past with nostalgic champagne flutes, thoughtful decor and ambiance. I chose Ms. Peacocks's for a 1920s themed birthday party. The entire experience was excellent. I was given an exceptionally good value for a space that needs little additional decoration because it is so well conceptualized.The catering menu was also very reasonable and they allowed me to bring in a cake from an external vendor as well. Stepping into the champagne room you are greeted with peacock blue, velvet sofas and beautiful countertops. With a main room, hidden Captain's Lounge (behind a bookcase) and patio guests quite enjoyed themselves during their time. The staff even crafted a specialty drink for our event and were personable and accommodating throughout the entire experience. The owner invited me to enjoy a Moet tasting at a discounted price when I was visiting venues prior to making my decision. Ms. Peacock's often has themes such as these that are wonderful for date nights, I hope to return. The coordinator Bianca, manager Ali and owner Mark all did their collective parts to make sure my friend's party was a success and I am grateful for it! read more

Closest thing to a true cocktail bar that I've found in Arlington so far, fun seasonal drinks and mellow vibe

Total hidden gem tucked away behind the Board Room in Arlington. The decor is charming, the atmosphere is cozy and intimate, the service is great, and the menu is small & well-thought-out. But...that's not why you come here! The cocktails and champagne here are absolutely excellent, and that's what keeps me coming back! It's my go-to spot for girls night out, date nights, whatever because the drinks are just that phenomenal. read more

LOVE the concept, and had a great glass of bartender-recommended sparkling--but the kids running around and huge party that came later just ruined the vibe. What should have been a cute, classy evening of catching up with my friend became just another night at a bar. There was a KIDS party in the room behind the bar and the adults and employees for some reason allowed them to run around, sit at the bar, etc--definitely not the vibe I was looking for in a champagne lounge. Then an adult party came through, which is fine--but they spread out throughout the whole area, so people were yelling over our heads and bumping into our chairs. They should have either shut down the bar for the party, or put them in the back room after the kids party ended. The tater tots were crispy and the truffle grilled cheese was really delicious, but the Old Kentucky Rose sparkling cocktail was too sweet and I just don't think I'd come back here after all that. read more

This is an amazing place to go out for a date night! It's not to loud so you can actually have a conversation and hear the other person. The food was all good...we got a few small plates and shared which allowed us to try a little bit of everything. They have a few pages of champagne to choice from. Highly recommend this place for a date night or for a small group, maybe 6, for a nice night out. read more

Ms Peacocks Champagne Lounge - two champagne glasses and a bottle of champagne - Champagne Bars Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Chef Michael was friendly knowledgeable and explained each step of the macaron class perfectly. The macarons came out perfectly, and I had never made them before. The class was in the back of the boardroom and was great, can't wait to try one of his other classes! read more

The decor was cute and had a nice vibe, but the service was TERRIBLE. It took almost an hour before we had to flag over the server to order food. After we finished eating, the plates stayed with us until we had to flag him down twice (first time he made eye contact and went into the back). The only time he acknowledged us was to pick up the bill when he saw the credit card ready. We noticed that he didn't seem to have a problem walking over to the few other patrons taking orders, clearing tables, handing out what looked like a business card or just checking in with them. While the decor was cute and the food decent, the poor service killed the experience. I wouldn't go back and don't recommend anyone else go either. read more

I can not think of a better place to have my daughters baby shower. The theme was Barbie so the decor inside the lounge was perfect. The food was fantastic and of large proportions. The General manage , Ali answered every question I had, even answering questions at 2:00 a.m., accommodated every requestion I had and went out of his was to make the baby shower very special. My look a like Barbie did not show up so Ali got someone in a minute to help serve the pizza's and told me to relax and enjoy, he was going to do everything he could to make this party fantastic and he did. One of our guest had their wallet fall out of their purse under the table. 5 hours later she realized it and went back to the restaurant. They not only had her wallet for her but $200 was still inside. Wow......I can not say enough about everyone that works there. All of you are fantastic and I thank you again for helping me make this party the best ever. read more
