    I recently visited Tipsy Scoop for the first time and honestly had a really fun experience. The concept of boozy ice cream is such a cute and unique idea, and the atmosphere was fun and inviting. I ended up trying the Cake Batter Vodka Martini flavor and loved it -- it was flavorful, creamy, and definitely worth trying if it's your first visit.

    Went on two separate occasions and they were out of stock of basically all the sorbets each time. One time they one had one flavor of the sorbet second time they had two flavors. But no mango , cherry blossom, or strawberry . Only had raspberry sorbet. Had many of the icecream ones minus the second time didn't have the hazel nut one. So couldn't do the speciality flavors I wanted the tequila sunrise . And it wasn't enough of one of the flavors for the flight. It was good just need to be better stocked especially when it's not even cold yet . Place is cute just small. Service is good they are nice.

    Tipsy scoop is an amazing experience in the NW area of Washington DC. They offer a wide variety of boozy ice cream options to include flights! If your local or have the ability to travel with a cooler you can also buy pints to go. The inside is a bit small but the decor and service is amazing. You can hardly taste the liquor in the ice cream and it's more of an art with the creations that they offer! My must stop when visiting DC.

    My third time here and this place NEVER disappoints Make sure to try the flavors! It's very hard to pick a favorite because they are ALL good! Make sure you stop by!!!

    My friend was in town and wanted to try this spot, and I'm glad we did! The temps were in the 80s, so it was the perfect time for something cool. I love the concept here with ice cream or sorbet paired with alcohol like tequila or whiskey. I sampled several flavors, and while I was hoping to love the chocolate with whiskey and salted caramel (it ended up tasting more like plain chocolate cream), the raspberry limoncello with tequila was a winner. It was light, refreshing, and really delicious. The service was great too! Our cashier was amazing...she gave us suggestions on what to try and let us sample flavors until we found the perfect one. A fun bonus was getting to sign the signature wall, which added to the experience. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by if you're looking for a unique treat.

    I decided to try this place after passing by the store several times throughout my time in DC. I decided to sample some flavors before I finally decided on the vanilla bean bourbon. I will say the scoop of ice cream was good, but respectfully, I will not go out of my way for a $9 ice cream scoop anytime soon. The staff inside was friendly and was very encouraging for me to sample all my interested flavors. Indoors, there are seats for patrons and interestingly enough, receives a decent amount of sunlight. Although I am glad I went to this shop, I will probably come by every once in a while due to its price and other ice cream options in the area.

    I recently checked out Tipsy Scoop for the 1st time. I got to meet the owner Danielle who has a great vibe. They serve liquor-infused sundaes, ice cream cocktails, and flights . It also has vegan and Non-alcoholic flavors available for kids and non-drinkers. They recently launched their Boozy Holiday Flight Experience, so I stopped in to try their newest seasonal flavors and trust me, it's worth the visit. They host monthly Ice Cream Cocktail Mixology Classes. I'll definitely be back.

    Whenever I am in the DMV, I try to cross one of the places off my list). This time, I visited Tipsy Scoop (TS). TS locations are called barlours, a combination of the words "bar" and "ice parlors" (the British spelling of parlors). The DC location is one of seven company-owned locations. I am somewhat lactose intolerant and need to avoid high-lactose foods, so I was initially worried that I would only have one flavor to enjoy. However, when I visited this location, I found four vegan and dairy-free options available. I decided to try a scoop of each: raspberry limoncello and strawberry white sangria sorbets. Both flavors were delightful! I was especially surprised by the raspberry limoncello, considering that I had a limoncello in Italy last summer that I did not enjoy. You have the options of scoops/pints, sandwiches, sundaes, cocktails (both with and without ice cream), cakes, and flights. There are also non-alcoholic flavors always available for children and non-drinkers.

    I went to Tipsy Scoop for their 1 yr Anniversary today! This location is vibrant and fun. I love this whole concept of boozy ice cream. You can either get it by the scoop, get a flight, or one of their fun cocktails. The guy behind the counter was so friendly and let me try all the flavors. Let me say they are all good.They even have a couple flavors without booze for the mocktail folks. I got one scoop of the birthday cake to help celebrate. I loved the taste and bits of cake in the ice cream. They also sell boozy ice cream cakes, ice cream sandwiches, and you can take away a pint. I can't wait to go back and get a boozy flight. The Owner Danielle was there. She is such an amazing person. Definitely worth stopping by for a nice treat.

    Tipsy Scoop is NEVER A MISS! EVER!! My cousins came to town and the weather was GORGEOUS! So I took them down to Tipsy Scoop for some ice cream before hitting the museums! Of course the ice cream was DELICIOUS as always, they had a few new flavors, we were offered samples but the cherry blossom has me in a chokehold, I can't stop ordering it -- mind you, I'm a chocolate lover, so there's my reason to order two different scoops. They did have a peanut butter pint which was new and I took that home for my BFF to try. The line moved rather quickly and we were in and out with great customer service.

    Tipsy Scoop is definitely a fun concept! The ice cream drinks are $25 and up, but the bright side is you get a souvenir glass--which I still use for my iced coffee, lol. The vibe was enjoyable and it's a cool spot to try at least once. That said, the alcohol content is only about 5%, so even after finishing the whole thing, it's not really "giving tipsy." For me, it's more of a once-in-a-while treat than a regular go-to.

    Jewel B.

    The service was good--since it was our first time, they walked us through how everything worked which was helpful. I came here with my best friend for her birthday, and we really enjoyed the vibe, especially the outdoor seating! Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back. The flavors were strong for sure, but in a good way.

    Boozy sundae
    Chanel T.

    This place has been on my list since it opened and I finally made it! The shop is small but welcoming and the worker was so nice and helpful. There were some great options and I was able to try a couple of flavors before choosing the spiked hazelnut and the tequila hot chocolate ice creams for my custom sundae. The flavors were so good. I definitely recommend this as place for a sweet treat for the 21+ crowd.

    Dined in restaurant on a Saturday around 8pm. When I approached the hostess table, she asked "table…read morefor 2?" even though I was by myself. She was most likely on auto pilot and appeared embarrassed when she realized it. I politely smiled and said (confidently), table for 1. We solo diners need to be loud and proud! I digress... Before being seated I found the restroom. I found it odd that it was extremely dim. The main dining room was brighter than the restroom! I also saw the Photo Booth. Interesting addition. $5 for pictures. I was seated at a small round table with two chairs by the window. The restaurant was plenty busy, and I'm just glad I wasn't asked if I wanted to sit at the bar (I didn't). My server Noel brought two bottles of water: still and sparkling. I requested lemon slices, which he brought. And I proceeded to finish the entire bottle of sparkling by the end of the meal...guess I was thirsty! But I appreciated the option of both. I forgot to ask for a straw, but saw them in a container at the register right behind my table, so I got one myself. After ordering I noticed a nearby table had some bread so I asked Noel if they served complimentary bread. He said yes and apologized for not bringing it initially. Not that I needed it, but I don't eat bread with butter often and this was a night out to indulge a bit. There were two slices, nothing special. My food arrived within about 10-15 minutes and looked so scrumptious. I ordered the lamb and short rib meatballs and Brussels sprouts. The meatballs were pretty good, but what made them even better was the tzatziki sauce. I didn't realize the green rice was on one side of the plate until I was almost done. That tzatziki sauce was really all I needed to go with the meatballs. It was cool and creamy to go with the dry, meatiness of the meatballs. I honestly wish there had been more of it! I did not finish the rice, which didn't look super appetizing because of the intense green color. I will say though, I'm not a fan of spicy food but the tzatziki had a kick. I think perhaps due to chopped jalapeños. I tried to avoid them once I realized. The Brussels were delicious! Roasted to perfection, not too charred and not too mushy. I requested the green goddess sauce on the side because I'm not a huge sauce person, but once I tried it, I couldn't stop. Again, the combination of the creaminess of the sauce with the flakiness of the Brussels was a genius pairing. During the meal the beverage manager stopped by. I didn't have any drinks with the meal, but perhaps I will return to see what they have. Noel brought the bill at my request, then brought over the portable device so I could pay at the table. While that process is efficient, it's always awkward leaving a tip when the server is standing right there. Anyhow, overall it was a good experience and a delicious meal!

    We had a great dinner at The Smith during our trip to DC, and everyone found something they…read moreenjoyed. My daughter ordered the kids' steak well done. It ended up being a little dry, but the fries were crispy, well-seasoned, and a hit with everyone at the table. My son had the NY strip steak with mashed potatoes and really enjoyed it. The steak was cooked well, and the mashed potatoes were incredibly creamy and smooth. I ordered the sugar snap pea salad with salmon, and it was exactly what I was looking for on a hot summer evening. The salad was fresh, light, and refreshing, with a subtle hint of mint that really made the flavors pop. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the salad. My friend ordered the sugar snap salad with chicken Milanese, and the portion was enormous. The chicken literally covered the entire plate! It looked delicious and would easily satisfy a hearty appetite. The Mac & cheese was cooked well with a nice crust on top. Overall, the food was fresh, the portions were generous, and there was something for everyone. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in DC.

    What a lovely French restaurant. It was my first time as this establishment and I loved it. I was…read moreblown away by the aesthetic. As soon as we walked in we enjoyed the tall ceilings, the wonderful classy decor. The restaurant was a bank prior to being a hotel and restaurant. I love the transformation they did. It still looks like a bank but way more fancier. The service was great. We were were immediately greeted by the hostess who took us to our seat. Then the waiter came over. He was very friendly and kind. However, it seemed as though he forgot about us after we ordered our drinks and dessert. Eventually he came back over and checked on us which we appreciated. We were coming from Penn Social where we ate dinner so we just decided to order cocktails and dessert. Both were amazing. I chose the midnight ledger which contained Volcan Reposado, Ilegal Mezcal, Cynar, Melon Liqueur, and my friend ordered Mizu Lychee Martini which contained Citadelle Gin, Lychee Soju, Dry Vermouth. The Martini was very strong but enjoyable. The Ledger was very tasty, and a bit strong. For dessert we ordered the Creme Brulee. It was very tasty however, I really wish it would have come out warm instead of cold. Overall, it was a great experience. I will be back soon possibly to check out their happy hour or maybe have dinner. If you are looking for a fancy fine dining experience Cafe Riggs is the place for you. Cheers!
