D.C.’s Newest Outdoor Drinking Destination, Fix Bar, Is Here - Eater DC

"Shaw’s whimsical cocktail bar Morris debuted in the dead of winter. And now its seasonal, street-facing patio is up and running with a bunch of icy cocktails that will change daily. The new al fresco drinking destination, dubbed Fix bar, debuts on Tuesday, May 15. The name is an ode to “fix drinks” — aka boozy snow cones that were all the rage in the 19th century. The sour cocktails are served over crushed ice and feature a base spirit, citric acid, and sweeteners ranging from sugar and honey to hard liquor. Along with the daily rotating menu of five fix drinks ($12), there’s canned rosé from House Wine as well as local beers ($8 apiece) drawn from homegrown producers including 3 Stars Brewing Company, Anxo Cidery, Atlas Brew Works, DC Brau Brewing Company, and Right Proper Brewing Company. Fix bar is projected to operate from 6 p.m. to midnight, Tuesday through Thursday and on Sundays, and from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m., Friday and Saturday. The dog-friendly space can seat up to 60 customers, and is available on a first come, first served basis." - Tierney Plumb

This place isn't bad for what it is. Double decker bar - $$ drink prices. Unsure if owner or otherwise kept walking around everywhere and just came across as uncomfortable. The drinks were good, but overpriced. The noise level was loud, which is expected. Kind of overrated.

Morris American Bar is beautiful in pictures but darker in person- still attractive though! It was a bit loud and looks like a place you go with your group. My drink was delicious - it used a muddled strawberry. I would have preferred it served straight up instead of with a ton of ice. But it was still delicious!

I've been here twice before and it's such an intimate, cute spot. It's essentially two stories, as the upper level is a loft. I've had small bites here and drinks - my favorite drink is their Paja 75 cocktail. This cocktail is the perfect cross between a Pisco sour and a French 75, which are two of my favorites. At Morris American Bar, they make it with Pisco, lemon, honey, raspberry, champagne. The mix of bits of raspberry in the drink is the perfect bit of acidity. Also, everyone here is so nice! Would definitely recommend checking this place out.

Cute cocktail bar with a baby blue aesthetic located by the Convention Center! A friend and I stopped by for Taco Tuesday a few weeks ago. The shrimp tacos were delicious, albeit very tiny. Drinks were delightful! The bartender made great recommendations based on our palate. I loved the Afternoon Snooze cocktail, which contained mezcal and pineapple. Cool points for the hooks underneath the bar counter! I appreciated having a place to hang my bag while sitting at the bar.

Super cute place! Came here at night on a date, loved the ambiance and lighting. First we were seated at a table and one of the waiters recommended some drinks to each of our tastes (a strawberry martini for me) and both of us loved the drinks he picked out! Then we moved to the bar to sit, and we asked the bartender if she could make something similar to what each of us had before. She delivered! She made us both drinks to our tastes, (sweet for me), both drinks were her own invention. She was really sweet and talked to us. Drinks 10/10, ambiance 10/10 (especially for a date), staff 11/10 (amazing!).

Came here for one more drink after a night out. The ambiance at night was probably the best part of the bar. The drinks are very mediocre. It seemed like they try to make them more upscale by adding different garnish's or using different glasses but it's not worth the price. Got the cheese pizza which did not disappoint.

Great cocktails, super chill vibe, fantastic bar staff, made me feel like a local. Rotating drink list inspired by world hotels but they can make pretty much anything you want.

We went looking for peaty Scotch and ended up drinking that and a second round of cocktails. The vibe was cool, the service was good. I only wish that our server identified that a tip was included in the bill as I also left a generous tip on top of the almost 18% that was added to the bill. Bad on me, but the tip then ended up at almost 42%! The server still could have questioned whether we intended to tip that much, but I am sure he was happy to pocket the money. Moral of the story - Check for an included tip before adding any more to the bill! We are from out of town, likely won't be back soon, but would avoid going back if we do have business in DC.

This is my favorite cocktail spot in DC. The bartenders can make you anything, but the seasonal cocktail menu always impresses. Lowlights, 60s mint colors, and planters make for a fun atmosphere.

This place was a delightful find. Loved the interior layout and understand they also have an upstairs. The drinks were well made, in a beautiful setting with just the right music playing in the background. I hope to visit again on my next trip to DC in a few weeks. .

Morris American Bar is located right next to the convention center and the train station which makes it a very convenient and popular spot. The interior gives off the feel of an old school diner with a retro vibe although their drinks fall more under a tiki-style bar. There were lots of lights all over but overall it was still dim and intimate. My first drink was the rye ranger ($16) which was very balanced. It was slightly tart from the lemon, not super sweet, but not spirit forward either. It was a great tiki style drink. My second drink was the imperial city ($15) which was herbal and floral from the yellow chartreuse. It was fruity and another balanced drink. They have non-alcoholic drinks as well which was accommodating. Also, if you were curious like me and wondered what the ingredient "luster dust" was, I asked the server and she said that it is edible glitter. It was chill and peaceful at 8pm which was perfect for us and we enjoyed our time here.

This cool place has excellent cocktails! I had the St. Regis Julep and the Midnight Blossom. In general this place feels like a great place to have some nice, enjoyable specialty cocktails in the heart of Washington, D.C. They also have a variety of seating, including bar, downstairs, and above the bar. The bartenders are great and you should check this place out!

The vibes of the bar were perfect and the customer service was fantastic! The building was having some heating issues and the manager gave me a warning call in advance of my reservation. Incredibly helpful and friendly!

I just LOVE the concept of this place. Small and Quaint with the best service and attention to detail. This is one of the places you come after dinner and you want some delicious cocktails or a midnight snack. They have different food vendors who host on certain nights. Tuesday is "Taco Tuesday" and Sunday is Carribean night by Reggie who serves the best beef/chicken curry samosas.

Thanks for taking care of me, Morris. Came here solo because I'm on a work trip, and I really wanted to get a drink and relax after work. For any solo bar-goers who just want a drink & not be bothered on a Sat night, I'd suggest this place. They played chill r&b musics & beats at a volume expected at a bar during the weekend, but I still enjoyed it. I asked for a "quieter" and less busy spot and the hostess led me upstairs. Only one other party was seated there, which was perfect. I got the besito, which was the spiciest cocktail I've had and I loved it. Just FYI - 20% gratuity is applied on all checks. Menu says 2 hr time limit for all tables.

We were brought to the empty upstairs, which has a weird vibe separate from the rest of the bar. It feels as though they made the bottom floor cute and when they got to the upstairs they ran out of room and/or money and just but the most uncomfortable and bright orange seats they could find (it doesn't match anything downstairs). We were sat in the corner, directly above the bathroom. Someone decided to use said bathroom during our first 10 minutes and we could smell it so we had to reseat ourselves to the other empty end. Service-wise was not extremely welcoming, with no personality and not the friendliest and unfortunately an automatic 20% gratuity on all checks. When we ordered our drinks, I asked if any of the cocktails were sweet and rather than making some sort of recommendation, the guy just told me they were all balanced, which didn't help at all. They also brought my friend the wrong beer. There is so much potential here yet we will never be coming back because everything is just off.

What a wonderful surprise - this place is not only open late but absolutely delivers such a great vibe and care for those who attend Rita was my bartender both of the nights we went and was absolutely fantastic - her and her partner work there and deliver from the heart and and with care - the food is good too but the ambiance, the energy and the love within this busy space is awesome - we will be back and happy to continue to frequent this space. Thank you for everything.

TACO NIGHT! The best tacos I have had in a long while! How did I not know this place existed?! Ahh yes, COVID times. The drinks were great, I love that they craft specialty cocktails based on flavor profiles or let you choose your own adventure with a menu. The service was also great--how our bartender heard us above the din was unreal. He had a sixth sense for hearing our request no matter how busy he was. And then of course, Taco Tuesday. Every taco I tried was SO good. As in, how can I order a bunch of these to take home after already eating a bunch with no judging? The ambiance was also great. I was skeptical that it was attached to the convention center, but this had none of that vibe and had its own Miami meets speakeasy DC vibe.

This is such a hidden gem. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is cozy and beautifully decorated. Great place to grab drinks after work with colleagues or a start/ end to a date night. They have a wide variety of cocktails for $15 each and a fully stocked bar. There are also a few bar bites. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating with your drink preferences.

Spurious trip here but definitely worth it. Drinks are pricey but definitely delicious; can't have just one! I'm also a big deviled eggs fan and these were pretty tasty as well. Ambience was 10/10. Love the ceiling lights and the music was a big hit for us. Definitely coming back.

Cocktail: 4 stars Food: 3.75 Ambiance: 4.5 Needed some food before entering the car show and this place looked open. It was about 6:30pm. They looked fairly empty. The host (and later also partial waiter) asked if we had a reservation. We said no, they asked if we could just sit at the bar. We found this pretty weird because they were empty. I told my partner maybe they were waiting for a rush? Since they do stay open til midnight. We only a stayed for 25 min (again the car show) and it never got full. The bar wasn't bad it was just weird that we couldn't sit at one of the 5-6 empty tables. Anyway. I want to say something about the bartender (seemed to be the main bartender because the person sitting next to me seemed to know them well, like comes daily and knows all the bartenders well) . Anyway this bartender cares a lot about the craft. He seemed offended almost thah I didn't want a cocktail lol. I was like you seem upset that I don't want a cocktail (my partner doesn't drink so I don't always order drinks when around them) and also been trying to save money. He was like well it's a cocktail bar so yea. But it's fine... Long story short I ended up ordering a cocktail. Don't remember what it was. It was one of the weekly ones. It had white rum and real strawberries and it was good. I wouldn't say their cocktails are $15 good but I mean mostly everything is top shelf alcohol so makes sense. We ordered from the taco Tuesday menu. We ordered quesadillas chicken and steak. It was ok. They are just cheese and meat with pico on top and they are kinda small so we were still hungry After the car show. They're definitely bar snack size for the $11 cost. But makes sense for the location and all.

What a surprise! My friend has been telling me to check out this spot for months now. Taco Tuesday kept getting pushed back, but schedules finally aligned and I got to go! Tuesday is the only day Morris has food, otherwise it's a cocktail bar! Cocktails typically range from $13-$15, but the Taco Tuesday deal is a good one. You can get 1 cocktail with 3 tacos, 1 torta OR 1 quesadilla for $20. Good deal with dealing with fancy drinks and tacos in the city, that's for sure! I decided to go with the chicken, pork shoulder & veggie tacos. They definitely felt and tasted like street tacos and my only critique is that the veggie one had more mushrooms than I care for (and that's just personal preference!), but it was enough to have me swap it out when I got my second 'special'. The carne asada taco I had was bomb! I find this spot to be perfect for a date. I could see myself being on the second level and staring down at others while vibing to their excellent music playlist, or being down there with the folks and just taking it all in. Their drinks are excellent and I cannot believe I passed this place so many times in the past! I'll be back!

3.75 stars. Morris is a cute cocktail bar right near the convention center with a large cocktail menu and limited food menu. Came for drinks on a Friday night and was overall happy with the experience. The good: the service at Morris was excellent! Our server was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations. Though limited, the food menu is full of tasty sandwiches. The portobello grilled cheese was yummy and I added prosciutto which made it even yummier! Also, Morris has a great vibe, perfect for a date night or drinks with friends. The cons: the cocktails. Everything else about Morris is pretty awesome but the cocktails are a little meh for a cocktail bar and extremely pricey. I enjoyed a mezcal cocktail and a rye cocktail, both of which were fine but not very memorable or that tasty honestly. Despite the mostly average cocktails, considering the excellent service and great vibe I would still come back and give it another go.

Just a warning to everyone, they include a 20% gratuity to your bill, regardless of the size of your party. They circled it on the bill, but did not verbally mention it. It was very dark in there and I did not see it and tipped on top of it. So, we ended up giving them $28 on a $70 bill. I paid with a credit card and gave the server cash, so he knew we did not see the added gratuity and did not say anything. In my opinion, the gratuity should be optional and based on the quality of the service. An automatic 20% is high, and then to not make it clear it has been included, unacceptable. Since they are located by the Convention Center they count on people not returning anyway. I want to make sure locals and visitors are aware of the situation. I won't return even though it was a nice enough place.

5 stars for strong drinks and great service. 1. Drinks They do look great in presentation and very boozy too. Even during the covid19 situation, they're open and offering drinks to go. They even had packed the cherries and garnishes so well for the mixed drinks we ordered as take-out. I was positively surprised to find nuts too, like you would have gotten if you were there when it was open. 2. Service: no-nonsense, nice, respectful and honest I just love the people who run this place. I cannot wait to go back when they open for business for a sit down. I'd recommend supporting this awesome place during shutdown and order take-out drinks!

Always a pleasant place for a drink - it's really hard to go wrong here. Don't balk at the fact that this place is next to the convention center - it's not some sort of generic convention restaurant. Morris American Bar is an absolutely beautiful (and very blue!) gem of a bar that serves some amazing cocktails. You really can't go wrong with drinks here - I've never had a bad drink here, period. With that said, this place really shines if you know what you like, as the bartenders and staff really know how to adopt their drinks to your tastes.

Such a great little bar with an awesome setup inside! We were staying a block away and came here for drinks and I got a panini, everything was delicious. The staff are really down to earth and you can tell that they really care about providing exception service and tasty drinks and food. Highly recommend!

Randomly stumbled across Morris American Bar while trying to kill time before our dinner reservation nearby. We sat out on the patio but the inside was decorated pretty neat! Would love to enjoy a drink indoors next time. They have a taco food truck outside, which was really good. I ordered the vegetarian taco and the mini quesadilla; both were delicious but I would order 10 more quesadillas next time, they're amazing! They offer a guest bartender menu on top of their regular cocktail menu, which is such a fun concept! My favorite drink was the Jamaican Gentleman. The only downside to our visit was the urine smell on the patio corner our table was located. It's out of their control but definitely took away from the experience.

This speakeasy-themed cocktail bar is a hidden gem in Mt Vernon Square. With plenty of outdoor seating (yes, they have heaters) and adorable decor inside, they are a cozy spot for a date or a night out with friends. All of the waitstaff there are bartenders, so if you have any questions about the huge cocktail menu, they're super knowledgeable. If you tell them your liquor and flavor preferences, they'll whip you up something amazing. They told us that all of their cocktail ingredients (juices, compotes, etc) are made fresh each day. The cocktails are generally $13 each which is a small price to pay for a quality drink. They also have weekly special cocktails for $11. We had some bites to eat along with our cocktails and it was the perfect night out. On Tuesdays & Sundays they have a taco truck on site to serve up tacos, as well. Overall: amazing service, friendly vibes, and tasty food & drinks. We'll be back soon!

Morris American Bar should a "must go to" if your in the DC area. As my wife and I planned our trip to Maryland I instantly started hunting for places for a night out. As I scrolled through Yelp, Morris American bar popped up. I do what I always do and read the reviews and checkout the pictures and the menu. Everything looked in order so I added it to the list and let me tell you it was above and beyond what I wanted it to be. Let's start with the GOOD: The service was EXCEPTIONAL, the beverage director Doug took care of me and my wife all night and let tell you he can make some amazing cocktails. I ordered one from the menu and then I tested his knowledge with a couple classics (Aviation and Corpse Reviver #2). All the drinks were spot on, absolutely made to perfection. The inside of the bar is beyond gorgeous, I love the blueish gray color used throughout. Gives it a very nice and classy feel to it. Even the bathroom was stunning. Dress code is casual, I had a suit and tie on from dinner but jeans a shirt would work fine to. The noise level is perfect. No need to speak above a normal tone. This is a perfect spot for drinks on date night. The BAD: Really nothing bad at all to say. Maybe a wish and that would be that they have some sort of light snack. Currently there is no food at all Overall a wonderful experience, this place comes highly recommended and honestly I can't wait to go back.

Really bad experience after about a dozen visits and I won't be returning. Ordered a penicillin which is my favorite cocktail which I've gotten almost on every visit here and the bartender didn't it make it properly. After my companion mentioned to him that I didn't like my drink he took it personally listing the ingredients and that he made it right. (Side note: I've bartended for years but ok bro). I told him it didn't taste right and he proceeded to throw the drink in the sink making a loud bang because of the large ice cube. This was not only immature but unprofessional. I ended up getting an old fashioned which is a pretty basic cocktail and it was mediocre. So for my second drink I got a different cocktail from a different bartender (not making that mistake again) and that was pretty solid. The second issue is that I ordered 2 cocktails over the course of 3 hours while my companion had 7 beers and 1 cocktail. So then he turned into Mr. Octopus and was massively slurring. The total bill was only $74 which was confusing considering the 3 cocktails and 7 beers. So they over served him and underwhelmed me.

Morris is without a doubt an absolute gem of a cocktail bar and my personal favorite. The bartenders are not only inventive but also thoroughly well-versed in classics and contemporary drinks. You can tell the whole team is proud of their bar, and it really shows. The seasonal menu is their own impressive creation, but make no mistake, they gladly take requests and offer new suggestions. Inside is a time capsule of a classic bar. The colors, décor, lighting, music - it is the perfect place for relaxing drinks. Outside is shaded and casual, exactly what you want for a group of friends. Other bars even the often lauded "Bests in DC" have fallen short of what Morris is consistently doing here in terms of quality, knowledge, skill, and service. You get way more than what you pay for here. As amazing as it all is, it is not at all stuffy. Everybody is friendly, easygoing, and enjoys what they are doing. This review is long overdue and could not be more well deserved. Morris often surprises, never disappoints, and after all their extra hard work during the pandemic, I cannot wait to sit at the actual bar again. Until then, cheers!

Found this please on yep, decided to get a drink before my dinner reservation. I was not disappointed at all, great drinks, you don't wait forever to order a drink, our bartender went out of his way to make us drinks that weren't on the menu. The drinks were so good, that I ended up having three drinks before dinner.

Wow, I expected a typical convention center vibe, but it certainly is not. It is hip and the drinks are perfect. The Sunday Jamaican food (goat curry) is the best I've ever had. I'm buying some of the sauce to bring home.

This place was simply adorable! I felt like I walked into the living room of a tiny chic house I always wanted but am too uncool to actually own. The pale colors, marble, and big flowered wallpaper all cane together quite well. My friend and I sat at the bar and had some fabulous drinks. He had the Gloria, made with gin and Campari, and said it was excellent. He followed with a dry martini and enjoyed that too. I had the oaxacan sunshine, because I'm a big fan of mezcal, and it did not disappoint. The strawberry and lemon complement the mezcal so well. I also liked its presentation with the flurry of ice and a tiny straw/spoon. I followed that with a gentleman's buck - bourbon, orange, lemon, and a bit of fizzy water. Also very good, especially with the candied ginger on the side. We also got some snacks - sardines and St. Albans cheese. The tray was so adorable I almost didn't want to eat, but we did! I'll be the first to admit that my food choices totally didn't match my drink choices, but everything was great! And for a downtown DC bar, not insanely expensive. I'd definitely recommend it, but watch out that it's not a busy time at the convention center - I beg it gets overwhelmed quickly then.

Morris American Bar isn't what you expect. It's literally inside the sterile looking Convention Center so it's easy to miss the door when walking by. However, once inside it's anything but boring. It's the perfect little cocktail bar. They have several rooms for dining and a long bar for those of us wanting a drink. It's a very casual classy place with beautiful wallpaper giving it Gatsby style (you know, from the book The Great Gatsby). The bartenders are friendly and know what they are doing. In addition to wine, beer, and cider, they have a great seasonal cocktail menu that often changes. Each drink is $12 (not bad for a quality drink in DC) and it's $2 off until 7pm for happy hour. I went with the bartender's choice and had an excellent drink. If you want a classy chill happy hour spot with beautiful atmosphere, head to Morris American Bar. It's in Mt Vernon Square so there are plenty of other excellent dinner spots to go to afterwards (I recommend the Kinship!).

Came here on a Saturday night. The interior design of inside the bar is super cute and cozy. Ordered drinks and food. The drinks were about a 8/10 strong but very expensive! As for The food my friend did not enjoy her pizza it was about a 5/10. The bartenders were super nice and friendly! Definitely great service and played good old school hip hop music. I definitely would recommend this place for a quick drink spot.

Speakeasy cocktail bar in Mt. Vernon Square in DC with lots of outdoor seatings and heaters. The service was good and waitress were very accommodating with our drink requests. The interior is beautiful and boogie with a nice baby blue aesthetic view. There's an upstairs as well, so definitely great for girls night out or wanting to have more of a personal space during a date. I ordered the Jamaican Holiday, and it was very pretty. Drinks was strong and quality was good and top-notch. Recommending this place to anyone that enjoys a good drink after work or for happy hour.

I've been dropping in to here off and on for something unique and interesting. The menu is always different for me, but I unfortunately only find myself in D.C. on occasion. I'm glad a really amazing person introduced me to this place. Brings back a lot of great memories every time I visit. Cheers!

Tasty cocktails. Morris American Bar was lively and loud when we visited on a Saturday night, but my partner and I were able to converse easily because the music was played at a reasonable volume. We each tried a pair of cocktails and were pleased with our selections. I would recommend Morris American Bar for cocktails any night of the week.

I love this bar, and will vouch for it all day, everyday. My hubby and I stumbled upon it when my buddy was in town, and it was dope. The space is beautiful. The colors, furniture, murals...perfect. You can totally enjoy a romantic cocktail here, or meet for a casual drink. We sat at the bar, and really enjoyed watching the mixologists do their thing. They had a lot of interesting ingredients, and I know this is silly, but I loved the glassware. I'm such a sucker for a beautiful vessel. Each cocktail was beautiful! I also love smelling my cocktails before I drank them. They all smelled as good as they tasted. We also really enjoyed talking to the mixologists. It is really nice to chat with people who are really passionate about their craft. They even made us some off-the-menu cocktails. We wanted to try some of the concoctions they were working on. It was a good choice. We thoroughly enjoyed everything, and will be back.

Came here about a month ago with some friends, and sat outside. The outside area is pretty loud, and the seating is at picnic tables. The table was a little tight for our group of six, but it didn't seem like there was more seating available, at least none that was offered to us. The drinks were good, but incredibly expensive. I bought three drinks and one small appetizer, and ended the night with an $80 bill. Like I said, the drinks were good, but I don't think they were worth that much, especially given how small they are. The food menu is very small. I had the beer cheese appetizer, which was pretty good, but not a lot of food. I would look at the food menu in advance and decide if it seems worth it to you or if you'd rather plan to eat ahead of time. All in all, I might come back, but with a plan to order no more than two drinks for the sake of my wallet. The inside seemed nice and like a better option than the outside seating, so I would opt for that if I were to come back.

One of the cutest cocktail bars I've been to in DC and reasonably priced drinks (all cocktails are $12!!!). Walked in without a reservation Saturday night around 930pm and there were plenty of seats. The interior is very different from most dimly lit cocktail bars. Pretty ambiance, brighter lighting, cute decor, clean, doesn't smell like cigars, and friendly service. Their menu changes monthly, and we weren't too fond of the cocktails on the menu so we asked for the 'bartenders choice' every time we ordered (8 drinks total). I prefer vodka so all of my drinks had some sort of vodka and fruit mix to it. True to a cocktail bar, every drink was strong and the presentation was great. The bartenders definitely know what they are doing here. I honestly don't remember every single drink I ordered, but I do remember I liked the vodka/honey/raspberry combo the best. FYI they offer no food, only nuts if you ask. Definitely worth checking out especially because the prices are so doable for a cocktail bar (I feel like most cocktail bars charge an average of $15-20 per drink).

This was a pretty cool cocktail bar located in the Mt. Vernon convention center. The decor inside is pretty interesting and eye catching and they also have a covered outdoor patio area. There's a long bar as soon as you walk in, some seating up the stairs in addition to a sofa seat and small tables in the corner away from the bar. Service was good initially but then there was a change in the waitress which only left the bartender to manage the bar and my table which made getting drinks later on in the night a little more difficult then I would've liked but he did his best to accommodate. The fall cocktail menu list had several different cocktail options I gave the "tiger's tail" a try which I wasn't too big of a fan of, a bit bitter to the taste but gin is generally of an acquired taste. I then opted for their weekly cocktail menu and tried the "Russian fruit shake" which comes with fresh fruits which turned out to be a much better choice, a well balanced drink overall and much easier on the palette. The cocktails are priced around $13 so pretty typical for the area. All in all a really good bar for intimate outings, doesn't appear to get overly crowded, and you can actually have a conversation without overbearing music in the background or just being a generally loud bar due to having a large capacity of patrons.

After eating dinner at a different establishment, we decided to utilize our drink passports and find a nearby bar on the list. Although it was raining and cold, Morris American Bar was of walking distance so we went with that. When we arrived, there was a curtain that separated the entrance from the bar area. Once past the curtain we entered what felt like the era of prohibition. It was a speakeasy. The music was classic, the bartenders had on suspenders or 1920 day dresses. There were atomizer perfume bottles behind the bar with some sort of substance in it to add to some of the drinks. Our bartender explained how the cocktail menu changes monthly or did he say weekly, hmmm, whatever the case the menu changes. The first cocktail I started off with was the Stolen Property: Jamaican rum, lemon, Kahlua, maraschino, strawberry. I was skeptic at first because I didn't know how the Kahlua would work this but it turned out delish. Next drink was the Bertolt: apple brandy, amaro ramazzcotti, raspberry, orange blossom water. The Bertolt was a bit strong but still good, it was like a Manhattan. Next drink was the East New York Flip: bourbon, cream, honey, port, egg, nutmeg. The ENYF was my favorite drink. It was like festive eggnog. Finally, the last drink was the Hot Spiced Cider: aged rum, apple cider, nutmeg, cinnamon. This was a nice warm treat. I enjoyed all the drinks. Had it not been for the DC Drink passport program, I would have never known about this bar.
