The Tacky-Chic Camp of NYC’s Bad Roman and Holiday Bar
"A clubhouse-like, influencer-favored spot where a long bathroom line and homogeneous clientele set the tone; the menu leans into social-media moments (notably the SFK — a negroni paired with a chopped salad named after Serena Kerrigan) but the execution often disappoints. Cocktails were uniformly weak, salads came out soggy, and even dessert’s “hot fudge” was thin and watery. Service seemed unfamiliar with its own specials, and dishes like the peanut chicken salad, shrimp cocktail, burger, lobster pasta, and fries failed to redeem the overall experience." - E. Alex Jung
"A standout chopped salad on an otherwise country-club–adjacent lunch menu, featuring a confetti of minced salami and sun-dried tomatoes caught among cucumber chunks, chickpeas, and ridges of shredded lettuce; the restaurant also offers a brunch-only lobster Cobb that pairs well with a Bloody Mary." - Tammie Teclemariam
A hidden gem. Love the atmosphere and feel. The live music is great. Thankful for the hospitality. Great place to play pool.

Staying across the street, why not try it. Called to reserve to walking out, everyone was on game and pleasant to work with. With most DC locations it comes with a noisy atmosphere, but workable.
Food, fantastic. Atmosphere comfortable. Will be back.

Nice looking bar for great times, friendly owners. We deliver beer and liquor to them at my job so I can't say much about the experience there but looks very nice and clean!

Very clean yet I would still consider it a dive bar. Is it the best Mexican Dive Bar in the area? Quite easily due to the very welcoming service even when your Spanish is at a 4th grade level. Drinks are cheap and there's plenty of booze to choose from all the way from top shelf liquors to wells when rent is due. It also has a decent little patio out back to support smokers that need some room to relax. Felt safe in a bit of sketchy part of town but it just adds to the character of the place. Was told that Saturday nights are the busiest so I'll be back.
