There is a secret black door to enter. You can make reservations however, I was unaware that reservations were needed. We waited for about 20 minutes before a table opened up. Of course, the lights are dimmed inside with a very chill atmosphere. It is also pretty spacious inside for Speakeasy. We enjoy as it was something different to try. I will definitely return

When we entered I was expecting to give a password but it was not needed...lol. It was a little chilly in there and the lady at the desk when we walked in the door was keeping warm with her small heater. I asked where we could sit and she said anywhere. So we sat down in these large egg shaped seats which were really comfortable. Our waiter was really knowledgeable on the menu and suggested some great drinks. We did not try the food as it was past the restaurant hours being open and we had already eaten at a restaurant in the alleyway. I will be doing a review on that Italian restaurant soon because it was really good. I loved the whole speakeasy vibe and the music was amazing. One of the few places that stayed open to 2am...my birthday ended in an awesome surprise! When back in Baltimore will definitely stop in again maybe to try a bite with a drink.

As soon as you walk in you are handed a drinks menu and it's a seat yourself situation. Lots of cocktails, mocktails and draught beer on offer so something for everyone to enjoy. I do believe a ton of people end up here when they get put on a long waiting list at Clavel down the steet. Which hey good for both businesses I think. We went on a Friday night to wait out our waitlist at Clavel. Interior ambience is eerie and cool, lit entirely by candlelight. Really leaning into that gothic Edgar Allen Poe vibe. I got the Pistachio Latte which honestly surprised me a little - I somehow I guess was expecting more latte flavors to it, but the lemon was most prevalent. All in all, a cool place to hangout and get some drinks with friends.

Code Red Speakeasy - Adams Morgan, DC…read more LISTEN!!! The DECOR alone deserves 10 stars! We celebrated my friend's birthday with a Great Gatsby/Roaring 20s theme, and Code Red was the PERFECT backdrop! First things first, parking in Adams Morgan SUCKS! I wasn't even about to stress myself out, so Uber it was! Now, let's talk about the EXPERIENCE! You walk up to this HUGE steel door, and you need a PASSWORD to get inside. How fitting for a speakeasy?! Once inside, BABYYYYY... OLD HOLLYWOOD SEXXXY!!! The decor was classy, glamorous, intimate, and absolutely STUNNING! Whoever designed this place deserves their flowers! Even the little details were on point! The menu was designed like an old-school newspaper, and our waiter was dressed for the era. Speaking of our waiter, he was AMAZING! Attentive, personable, and made our experience even better. As for the food, the prices and taste were comparable to other restaurants serving similar dishes. Nothing particularly extraordinary in that department. The atmosphere was definitely the MAIN ATTRACTION! Our group sat toward the back on these plush, comfortable couches, which gave us plenty of room to relax, socialize, and take a RIDICULOUS number of pictures! And speaking of pictures... our birthday crew came DRESSED!!! Feathers, fringe, pearls, and a WHOLE bunch of FINE TINGS! A little Gatsby, a little glam, and a WHOLE lot of grown folks looking EXPENSIVE! My friend said Roaring 20s, and clearly NOBODY came to look regular! Overall: Code Red is an EXPERIENCE! The decor is 1000/10, the service was excellent, and the whole speakeasy concept was beautifully executed. I'd absolutely return for the ambiance, pictures, and another grown-and-sexy night out.

Clandestino has grown up, literally. What began as a small operation in Frederick has moved into a…read morelarger space, and the expansion suits them well. This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.

Always great service by bar manager Charlie, fantastic food and beverage menu and options. My favs so far are the grilled wings and chicken tortilla soup. The drinks are pretty awesome, and Charlie the Great can alter beverages to your preference if you prefer. This is an overall mezcal bar, but they have other libations as well. My fav is John Updike's Old Fashioned. My son ordered and loved the Strawberry Gin & Tonic. This establishment is a great conversation starter, and I look forward to returning asap.

My friend and I got two drinks each. Our first round of drinks didn't seem like full glasses but tasted good. I got a French 75 which was nice as my second, which was lovely. For food we got tuna tacos, beef sliders and fries. Tuna tacos were delicious . You get three. The sliders were alright i think it was because they were more medium well than medium. The fries are the most generous portion with three different dipping sauces. Our bill came out to $130 dollars. Not sure if at this price point I'll be retuning but it was a nice spot to try!

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!

Fantastic selection of bourbon for all brown liquor enthusiasts. Really, just about something for everyone, and more. Then, there's the aspect That You Don't See as much anymore. The cigar bar offering. A great selection of stogies to light ones fire for a relaxing drink and a slow smoke. But where to smoke this fine crafted cigar? Out on the smoking patio, but of course. Located just outside the bar, this intimate rooftop smoking section invites you just to sit and chill and relax with a few friends. Individual tables are integrated with cushioned seating areas that surround small fire pit tables. Offering a quiet warm place to relax and enjoy a very effortless night with Friends. Would I go back? Definitely. This was a favorite with a group of us that came out here after dinner one night. Great staff, good time was had by all and absolutely plan on visiting again.

Highlight of my summer restaurant week dinner experiences last month. I went right at 5:00 so…read moreparking was easy and the restaurant was just opening so I was seated right away. The drink menu did not tickle my fancy so I ended up just having water. The restaurant week menu was a good selection of their regular menu items so it was an opportunity to try something that I could get again. I opted for the tuna as an appetizer, the whole branzino as my entree, and the zalabia for dessert. Everything was delicious! I would have liked the tuna to be more chilled; it came out closer to room temp. I have no notes for the bronzino. It was perfectly cooked, I really love the time and orange, the olive tapenade was the right amount of salty and briny, and the accompanying roasted harissa potatoes were fantastic. I guess if I had any critique it would be of the too skinny and woody asparagus. The dessert was something I'd never heard of, something like Mediterranean donuts. I really love the pistachios and the I think pomegranate sauce (it wasn't described on the menu so Im guessing), but the addition of chocolate was completely unnecessary and I'm not just saying that because I don't like chocolate lol. After dinner me and my dining companion went upstairs to the speakeasy for a cocktail. I was hoping they had a different drink menu and they did! This menu was much more interesting to me and I ended up getting a a well-balanced gin cocktail. I just read that they are closing to relocate so I'm hoping that I'll be able to go again soon.
