This used to be a great spot to relax and enjoy cocktails. Unfortunately, a lot has changed since…read morethe owner, Keith McNally was actively involved, onsite and DJing regularly. Lately, the bar frequently runs out of ingredients needed for its signature cocktails, certain food items, service has become noticeably slower, and staff turnover appears to be high. When the owner was more present, the experience felt polished, the menu was consistently available, and customer service was top-notch. Today, it feels like the attention to detail is gone. What was once an elegant cocktail destination now feels more like an overpriced dive bar.

Our drinks were tasty, although the drink size itself was smaller than I'd like for the price, especially with the ice. The madeleines never showed up until we asked another waitress about it, so we got them for free because of the delay. They were tasty on their own without the given chocolate sauce, honestly. Price for them is not worth it though. Cute spot for a girls' night, but may be a one and done kind of spot for me.

We ordered a variety of cocktails and loved everything we tried, but the Vieux Carré was absolutely out of this world. The drinks were beautifully crafted, balanced, and full of character. Service was excellent, and the staff were incredibly helpful in navigating the menu and recommending drinks based on what we were in the mood for. That made the experience even more enjoyable. The ambience is fantastic, with a beautiful Prohibition-era vibe that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. They apparently also have jazz nights, which makes me want to return every time I'm in DC. We made a reservation for a weeknight and the place was already busy, so I'd definitely recommend reserving a spot. A must-visit for cocktail lovers in DC!

The bartenders make artisanal cocktails from scratch ingredients, and with some other obscure liquors they can take you down a journey of dark, broody flavors; light, old-fashioned fruity twists on classics, autism, genuinely peculiar, but delicious inventions. The inside is wonderfully blacked out aside from the candlelight that makes for the perfect after dinner drink on night out with someone special, or presumably talking over a long week at work.

The only service I received was from ordering from the bartender where you have to stand because there are no seats at the bar. My complaint, the cost of beer is overpriced. I had two beers at $10 each and I was charged $26 total. I recommend being mindful of your receipt because they automatically add a 20% Service Charge and 10% Tax, making it $13 all-in per beer, hence $26 for two. So there's no need to leave an extra tip when you pay your tab, unless you want to give away more of your money. Since they're inflating the price by charging 7 times the actual cost, or a 600% mark-up, I won't return.

The bartender was friendly and welcoming, and I ordered a burger and fries that were absolutely delicious. You can tell the chef genuinely aims to please, so I don't think you'll be disappointed with the food. Part of the fun is actually finding your way in. I won't give away the secret, but let's just say the elevator requires a special code to get you upstairs. That little touch makes it feel like a true speakeasy experience. Definitely a cool hidden gem in Baltimore and a spot I'd visit again!

There is plenty of free parking and availability on a weeknight so if you are interested in checking this place out for the food, drinks, and chill vibes definitely come on a weeknight. As many have previously stated, you enter in through a flower shop and are greeted by a pleasant hostess who leads you through a wooden door, down some stairs into a lounge that has plenty of plush seating and a DJ spinning classic hits with some international variations (which I thought were really cool). This place has an extensive cocktail/Mocktail list and a seasonal menu with that showcase modern twists on Argentinian cuisine. My friend ordered the oysters that come topped with chimichurri and the zucchini salad. I got the king crab empanadas with a side of fries. For drinks, she got the chai carrot cake composed of gin, scotch and a purple carrot liqueur. I got the Milo's Lemonade which is a mocktail composed of Yerba mate tereré, lemon verbena grapefruit, and peach cordial strawberry oleo. Everything that we had here was delicious and our server was on point. Definitely recommend of you are in the area for good drinks and small bites.
