A record is chosen for the evening and they play the entire thing from start to finnish. Meanwhile you enjoy some lovely cocktails and some company. The place picked up pretty quick and full for the most of the time my fellow Yelp friend and I were there. Service - 5 stars. Maya was amazing. But really all the staff seemed genuinely interested in ensuring you have a good time. Drinks- my first drink I got the "Take me Out" $22, mezcal dream, well balanced. The 2nd drink I got the "Time to Pretend" $20 TQLA subtle but nice. I'm definitely coming back when I'm in town!

I was denied entry to this establishment for reasons entirely unrelated to my conduct as a…read morecustomer. Christopher Chapman and I had a personal relationship that ended approximately two years ago, and I had not patronized this bar in roughly two years. When I visited on September 19, I did not speak to Christopher, order from him, or cause any disturbance. I later returned with friends on a night Christopher wasn't even working and was denied entry. When questioned, Christopher explicitly told me, "Your friends are allowed. You aren't." He then accused me of using my passport to "sneak in," which simply did not happen. If there is a legitimate conduct-based reason for banning me, one has never been provided. Instead, I am apparently being singled out because of a personal relationship that ended years ago. It is deeply concerning to see a personal grievance carried out through a public-facing business--especially against a woman who is simply minding her business, peacefully enjoying an evening with friends, and making no attempt to interact with him. Prospective customers can decide for themselves what they think of that.

When we walked in around 6:45p it was empty. But around 7-7:40pm it started filling up. It's been a…read morelong time since I was back at a true cocktail bar. Cocktails have become trendy and mostly a lazy combination of a spirit, simple syrup and a fancy-sounding ingredient. Not here. Each combination is crafted and tastes delicious. One sign of a good cocktail to me is that it has balanced flavors that somehow combine well together to create complexity that works. It did here. Our bartender was knowledgeable and guided me well after I shared my preferred spirit and flavor profile. The martini I had was off-menu and well prepared. Nostalgia for days of yore when only a handful of places in NYC were known for "cocktails" - not every happy hour menu in town. We did get the happy hour pricing ($12/drink) and yes, 20% gratuity was included. The service was stellar so I would've done that anyways and had no problem with it being mandatory. I will add - someone complained about the incense smells and when I first walked in, it did smell odd. Over time, I saw our bartender switch it out and the second fragrance was more inviting.

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.

Our server was new and very helpful. The space is tight in there so walking back to our table was a bit of a challenge trying not to hit someone while they were taking a drink, but the energy is high and lively! We ordered cocktails to start, and there were so many interesting choices that it was a difficult choice. We all thought we got the best one! Every dish was fresh, flavorful and fire! The scallion lamb was tender and savory. The crab fried rice was total comfort food and I could eat this every day! All those flavors! The dish that stole the show; however, was the eggplant! Wow! What a wonderful surprise. Hot, fresh and full of flavor, the eggplant was perfectly cooked and we couldn't stop talking about it long after we left!

As…read moresomeone who does not eat pork, I found the menu a bit limiting, so we went with the salt and pepper eggplant, bok choy, vegan dan dan noodles, and beef noodles. The vegetable dishes were easily my favorite part of the meal. The salt and pepper eggplant in particular had a fantastic flavor profile, and the veggies overall were flavorful and genuinely fun to eat. The entrees did not land quite as well for me. The portions felt small for the price, the beef was sparse, and the noodles leaned a little dry. I did enjoy the atmosphere though. We sat outside, the music was bumping, and the whole space had a relaxed energy to it. I can definitely see the appeal, but between the limited non-pork options and the entrees falling short, I am not sure it would be a go-to for me.

Best pornstar martini I have had in my life, plus really cure glassware. The truffle popcorn was unbelievable and had fresh parmesan on it. YUM. I also tried the femme fatale and it was acidic and fruity and fantastic. I ended up also getting an espresso martini another night and it was iconic. Jay was my waiter and he is one of the best bartenders on this earth. He made drinks quickly, made sure everyone was having fun, and kept the vibes wonderful.

For context, my last visit to DC in my teens, I was looking to view DC, in a new light, as an adult. Entering Jane Jane somehow felt like home. The intimate, inclusive, dimly lit bar, decorated to feel both modern and vintage reminded me of my favorite spot in Houston, Nobies. While Nobies offers great food, Jane Jane kills it with their cocktails...and the complimentary bowl of cheese its...perfect bar food I guess? Their legend's menu is just that. Although I came in anticipating ordering one drink, that one turned into two after trying the "A La Playa". I'm not sure I'd sip it on the beach, but the sweet, slightly Smokey, fruity concoctions now lives on my list of favorites drinks. It has the perfect balance of flavors. While a $17 cocktail is not an everyday outing (for me atleast), their drinks are strong, and legends worth trying. The shenanigans on 14th are just a welcome bonus.

There was a folded standing menu on the bar and the first item there said the frozen pina colada was a special for the month so I was happy they still had it. What I got wasn't frozen and tasted awful, then I noticed another person at the bar with a frozen drink and looked up the picture on tiktok and saw that my drink was indeed in the wrong cup. So I asked the bartender (maybe I forgot to say frozen) if this was a regular pina colada and he said "no you ordered drink name xyz" with mezcal (which is why it tasted bad to me) I said no I didn't, I ordered the pina colada and he proceeded to argue with me with an attitude. I'm like dude the music is so loud in here, just admit you didn't hear me. I know what I ordered. I can't make up a drink name for something I don't know exists because I never looked at the flat menus he handed me. I had to take one star off because that just killed the vibe.
