Lucy Bar

I’ll admit it—I stopped at this restaurant just because it had my name on the building. 😂 But wow, I’m so glad I did! The food was amazing, the drinks were delicious, and the whole vibe was spot on. Super happy I made this one of my D.C. stops, and I’ll definitely be back!

Chill spot. Good pizza. I thought both pizzas we got were great but my boyfriend was concerned that the burrata pizza was “too cheesy.” The bartender was great and very attentive. Excellent drinks. There’s usually a lot of people around the entrance waiting to put their names in/check in to reservations but the bar is usually empty so would recommend eating there.

IMO one of the best Neopolitan style pizzas in DC. The crust was perfectly baked and the tomato sauce - absolutely authentic! Not too sweet, not too sour, not too concentrated but just right! This was second time dining at Lucy and the food and service were on point. Has quickly become one of my go to places!

Our son lives in this neighborhood and recommended this place while we are in town. I’m Italian and this is one the best pizza I ever had in the US. The perfect balance of charred and chewy crust, the sweet fresh tomato sauce and cheese combo, just right, this pizza screams Naples in all its goodness. We also had the nduja croquettes and they were delicious. To top it off, service was prompt and our server Nick was delightful. Lovely dinner!

The atmosphere was lovely and the place was clean and well organised The live jazz on Thursday added a special and artistic touch to the evening. The food was very good, especially the pizza I highly recommend it. It was delicious and perfectly made. The staff were all friendly, and our waiter Fakir was very kind and professional in his service. Overall, a great experience I definitely recommend visiting!

This was the “salad” we ordered to go from Lucy. If you look closely you can see a couple of leads under the chicken. If you are looking for a healthy option around DC and want a salad, look somewhere else.

Great ambiance and atmosphere. Decent service. Tried the fried squash blossoms and they weren't that great. Filling was some sardine something instead of fluffy lemon ricotta... Should have read the menu... Fried arancini was better... Live jazz heightened the cool atmosphere and the open window bar seating looking out onto the street is a nice touch.

Went for a little happy hour moment and ended up grabbing food as well! Happy hour is such a cozy vibe and a really intimate spot to catch up with a friend or have a lovely date night. The mushroom pizza was absolutely delicious, the crust is really to die for. Got the bruschetta as well and was not expecting three different types (I may just be bad at reading) but it was also a really unique experience. Service was a little slow, (not the fault of our server at all but it seemed like they were a bit understaffed). The aperol spritz was delicious and I would definitely come back for their jazz nights.

Lucy Bar is a fantastic spot that combines a lively atmosphere with delicious food and drinks. The Neapolitan-style pizza is a standout, with creative toppings. I loved the fun cocktails; they really add to the experience! The restaurant has a cozy vibe with some outdoor seating, and plenty of inside seating, perfect for enjoying a nice evening. Inside, the decor and art create a unique ambiance that's both inviting and fun. The wait staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed.

The ambiance was great. Cozy and definitely a nice spot for date night, dinner with friends or a solo date. The servers were nice. I got a mocktail which was okay. I Brussels sprouts starter was good, but too much chipotle mayo on top. Maybe less or put it on the side. My main was the risotto with oxtail. This was nasty. The risotto tasted like box Mac and cheese and was hard. Not Al dente hard, but a little uncooked hard. The meat was room temp and dry with no flavor at all.

Came for a pre dinner cocktail and didn't disappoint. Cute place with great decor. We sat outside on a warm and windy evening. I got the Hot Kiss (tequila style beverage) and my friend got a fernet and coke. Sidney our sever was fantastic. Def come check this place out :)

Cute aesthetic for a girl's happy hour or date night. Their Aperol spritz happy hour was fun and tasty and the pizzas were a good size & had a crispy crust. I enjoyed the variety of pizzas & the sauce was flavorful. Service was fast and we also went when they have live jazz playing so it was really nice!

Finally tried their food and it is a 10/10 I am obsessed with the portobello mushroom

Lucy Bar has great ambiance, but I was a bit disappointed by the fettuccine. It was tasty, but essentially a creamy fettuccine alfredo, which I didn't feel like was clear on the menu. The description was simply "zucchini, basil, mint" which to me implied a lighter dish, so I was surprised when the sauce was alfredo and the zucchini was fried. It was a tasty, elevated alfredo, just not what I was hoping for. Perhaps they could consider a change to the description? On another note, the caesar salad was good, my partner's pizza was yummy, and the dirty martini was spot on! Would go back to try a different pasta.

Best pizza in the city by a mile. Lucy's has such a great ambiance for a date or nice dinner with impeccable service and delicious food. You simply cannot go wrong with anything on the menu here. The Lucifer pizza, prosciutto appetizer, and pasta alla Norma are my absolute favorites, along with the valpolicella and pursuit of passion.

Great service and cute atmosphere. Vibe is chill and welcoming. Food was hit and miss. The salads were incredible and the lamb pasta was tasty. However the cacio e pepe is 100% not cacio e pepe. At best it's fettuccine Alfredo with some pepper. Not a lot of flavor. The veal tortellini were pretty good but super salty. The most disappointing thing was the cheese / margarita pizza. Soggy crust and the sauce was so bland. I would likely give them another chance and order differently :)

When you want to try going to Franklin Hall during the Women's world Cup, you should probably count on trying to get there an hour early to avoid the line trying to get inside. The other alternative was right next door, Lucy Bar. What a hidden gem and a second best to seeing the World Cup. I met up with a friend to watch the game and getting a seat at the bar was perfect. We couldn't have planned a better night and had our own tv in front of us to get up close and personal. We started off with an Lucy Spritz which had Hayman's gin, Campari, Tumeric-orange syrup, lemon juice, prosecco. Not my usual, but wanted to change it up a bit. My usual is an Old Fashioned so you can see this was a big departure and a welcoming drink which reminds me of summer - light and refreshing. I had two of these and didn't realize that the alcohol would catch up with me, but it did. However, we ordered a pizza, the Monalizza which had mozzarella, ricotta, spicy 'nduja sausage, roasted tomatoes and Mike's hot honey. I enjoyed the flavors of this pizza and the dough was nice and soft. A great combo of flavor and who wouldn't love ricotta on their pizza?! Overall a great place that has a good ambiance with low lighting, great zen-like furniture and good vibe. I love the neon sign so you can't miss this place on its corner off of 14th Street!

Nice little bistro/ bar. It is a perfect place for small tastes and good drinks. Lucy's is a small vibrant bistro style bar. They don't need to have a large menu. Theirs is perfectly paired and suits the NE vibe. Pizza fresh toppings seemingly tasted like they were picked right before prep. The brussel sprouts are so good. Roasted with a nice bit of creamy dressing on them. The cocktails weren't overpowering as much as they were delicately infused with delitful liquors and fruit juices

We were looking for one last place to grab some food (preferably Pizza) and a few more drinks and stumbled upon Lucy online. I grabbed some last minute reservations and we headed over. We came in a little early but they were still able to seat us at the other end of the place. It's a super bright and loud place but wasn't too big. For drinks we got the Aperol Spritz, Rum & Pear, Giulio Said No, and a glass of Prosecco. We weren't too hungry but couldn't help and check out the pizzas while we were here too. We got the Roni My Ronies, Monalizza, and the Trufflelicious to share between the four of us. I got the Rum & Pear and it was a solid drink. Slight pear flavor but could definitely taste the lemon. All the pizzas were so good. Just a perfect crust on each of them and just the right amount of toppings. If I had to pick one, it would be the Roni My Ronies. Just the right amount of cheese and pepperonis that cupped up perfectly. Service staff was on point and checked up on us a good amount. Really great atmosphere here and I would love to come back for the pizza alone!

Pre-made "signature cocktails" ranging from $14-16. It's not with it coming here for drinks. Go to Jane Jane where they'll actually mix the cocktails per order. Their Prosecco comes in a can at Lucy. The only saving grace here is the pizza. 4/5 for pizza. 1/5 for drinks. 3/5 for service. 3 stars is fair.

Absolutely loved this place. Such a cute indoor/outdoor space. Interior is lovely designed. Food was incredible. The Beet salad was unique and tasty. Brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly with a delicious sauce. We split the gnocchi and Lucifer pizza, both . Not to mention the cocktails were great. Raving about the Pursuit of Passion. Would absolutely go back.

Had made a reservation for Lucy Bar on January 1st at 6:45pm to celebrate a 1 year anniversary and was very excited to try this restaurant, especially for the live music on Wednesdays. Having received a text earlier in the day asking to confirm the reservation, and a follow up text at 6:15pm, we were very shocked and thoroughly disappointed to arrive and see that the restaurant was closed. We were given no notice of this closure, and had to discover by checking their Instagram to see a story post at 6:05 saying they were closed, when they had sent a confirmation text to us 10 minutes later. We took the Metro from College Park and went heavily out of the way in hopes of celebrating our anniversary, however this level of unprofessional service heavily threw a wrench in our night. Would love to give Lucy Bar a try in the future but this experience definitely put a bad taste in our mouths.

Good local spot for pastas and pizza, easy to walk in and get a table. Also happy hour goes until 7pm which is nice.

Finally checked out Lucy last night! Food: 4/5 the pizza are personal sizes and about $20. Monalizza hot honey white pizza was tasty and had a solid crust. Drinks: 4.5/5 ranging $13- $15 The cocktails and espresso martinis were fabulous! Atmosphere: 4/5 super trendy spot with fun vibes. FYI - it's barstool seating which wasn't comfortable.

Cool & oddly quiet cocktail & pizza bar. I found this place from Instagram and decided to give it a go. The cocktails were pretty good. Our bartender was really nice and knew a lot about the menu. I gave 4 stars because they could've put more effort into the prosciutto pizza. It was dry and bland.

last Saturday's lovely little dinner at @lucybardc the girls and I enjoyed their bussel sprouts with lemon zest, balsamic glaze, and garlic aioli, the gnocchi was to DIE FOR & the "Green Goddess" pizza with roasted garlic cream, spinach, smoked mozzarella, tomato and ricotta -- i'd recommend checking out @lucybardc on your next GNO!

Surrounded by many top restaurants like Maydan and Seven Reasons, Lucy is a corner bar not be overlooked. With a happy hour menu, an outdoor patio and a well-designed bar, my buddy and I enjoyed grabbing Tuesday evening drinks. Here's why: 1) Drinks: They have a robust cocktail menu, including a few tasty frozen drinks perfect for the summer. I had two Orange Crushes and they both were well blended and very good. 2) Service: It was efficient and friendly. They treated us like we've know each other for years. If you're looking for a nice bar with quality drinks, go to Lucy.

The ambiance is amazing and they have a good happy hour. I had to give a lower score because we got the pizza with a gluten-free crust, and it was not good. We're not sure if this is due to the crust choice or if the food isn't good.

We really wanted to like Lucy Bar, which has a beautiful aesthetic and cute patio, but we were disappointed by the food and service. Service - they were severely short staffed it seemed. I counted only five people working the entire dining room/patio, and that included the Host and Bartender. The servers themselves were excellent and knowledgable but clearly overwhelmed and overworked - not sustainable. We waited a while to get seated even with a reservation, to get water, to get drinks, to get food, etc. So definitely, a place to go to for a leisurely meal! We pretended like we were in Italy for real! Just be prepared to go with the flow when you go. The food - this is where it gets really disappointing. For $20-30 entrees, I really expect more. We spent $65 per person, including cocktails, appetizers and dessert, and it was money I wish I could have back to be honest. The cocktails were delicious. We had croquettes, beet salad, and meatballs. They were pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The beet salad was the best. For entrees, we shared the Monalizza (very good but I think the crust was slightly undercooked, still delicious), pappardelle (fine but I can make it at home with equal results), the Oxtail pasta (good but slightly under seasoned)... and finally...Stanley Tucci's "favorite" fettucine, which was terrible. I truly regret not sending it back and asking for a different entree or our money back, and that's on me. However, this pasta was literally not seasoned. It tasted like nothing. I really think they forgot to add an ingredient like pecorino romano or just plain old salt. Mistakes happen and again, that's our fault for not sending it back and letting the restaurant know, but for a very simple dish that I can make four delicious servings of at home for the same price as one bland bowl at Lucy Bar...it was disappointing. The dessert was fine but not great! We had the tiramisu which was standard and tasty! The salted caramel molten cake was not molten in the middle unfortunately and I could not taste the salted caramel at all. If you're looking to treat yourself to a nice meal where you plan to spend almost $100, I would look elsewhere!

Charming bar, open late. Great cocktails- very creative. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Fun new spot worth a visit. The design of the space is amazing, with long open windows providing fresh air, and tons of seating. There are bar seats, tables, stools for window seating, and a few tables outside. The lights were down low, and the beats were popping, so a nice mood was set immediately. We visited around 9:00 pm on a Saturday. The place had lots of life, but there were still plenty of open seats available, no reservations needed. They are sister establishments with the pizza place next door, Slice & Pie, and you can order pizza at Lucy. Pizza and cocktails are an unbeatable combination you don't see often enough. For drinks, they are known for their frozen pina coladas and orange crushes, but they have lots of unique cocktails available. Their focus is twists on classics. My wife had a black magic, which is an old fashioned variation with a hint of allspice and saffron. She really enjoyed it. It came out looking deep purple and tasted boozy and delicious. The cin cyn is a negroni riff with cynar and grapefruit bitters. Very refreshing if you're a fan of bitter drinks. After eating, we shared an espresso martini as well, and their take is one of the best in town. It is definitely different than any other espresso martini you'll find, which we appreciated. It has salted agave and "mole spices," which give it a very slight cinnamony taste. Yummy. The drinks are priced from $11-14 apiece. There are a few draft beers and tons of wines by the glass or bottle available as well, if that's your thing. What puts them over the top is the food. Their garlic knots are crisp on the outside but soft on the inside, super fresh. Don't skip them. We also shared a pizza, the 'roni ($16). It came with four large slices of thin crust pizza with crsip, thick crust. It was a good portion for sharing - we split the knots and pizza and were both full when we were done. The pizza is solid, good amount of pepperoni, and a perfect pairing with the cocktails. The menu has lots of red and white options to choose from. It seems like we've become spoiled with new pizza options the past couple years, between Martha Dear, Sonnys, Lupo Pizzeria, the thin crust options are through the roof, and Lucy's take is on par with these others. The only negative remark we have is about service. The first guy to serve us, the guy with a pony tail and glasses, was super sweet and attentive. About halfway through our meal, though, he left, and his replacement was terrible. He didn't pay attention to anyone at the bar despite it not being busy. We had to flag him down to order, and he made a show of how annoyed he was to have to serve us, and we weren't the only ones who got that treatment. That issue aside, we had a nice time and will try them again.

This place is amazing! Food is very fresh and delicious! The service was wonderful, very friendly and spaced out the dishesh perfectly. The place is very chic and gives parisian vibes.

The food is delicious. The pizza's have vegan cheese available for all their options. They took dairy allergies seriously and helpful. The atmosphere is amazing and the open windows offer a beautiful breeze.

Went with my girlfriend. Her pizza was great and gluten free crust was solid. Service and ambiance was good. However I'd caution against the oxtail pasta "signature" dish. Was the most expensive entree and I finished it before she was done with her first slice. More of an appetizer than an entree. Taste was great but not nearly enough food for the price.

We definitely enjoyed our meal at Lucy Bar! Their happy hour(s) selection of cocktails was a good deal. Our pizza was awesome (yay, vegan cheese option!) and so was our beet salad! Overall, a bit in the pricey side, but we'll be back!

My food was good, however the service and price we paid was not. Also incredibly and unexpectedly loud, even for a Saturday night. Will opt for another pizza place down the road next time.

Came here to celebrate a birthday for lunch. Ambiance is super cute and colorful. We had 3 apps (bruschetta, Brussels, and burrata) - all equally delish. Two pastas as our mains (ravioli and fettuccine) and for an Italian place both were so light and refreshing. Service was great and attentive. I'm but into proper spacing between courses and I felt like everything was timed perfectly. No rushing us through the meal! Overall highly recommend. Come check this place out asap!

Decided to have Monday night cocktails because it's gorgeous out and there's a new bar in town @lucybardc ! The frozen pina coladas are amazing (I'll take them all ) and my husband got a Moscow mule which had a great balance to it. Definitely recommend!

This place is great! Food and drinks were so yummy. Sydney was especially awesome. She had great recommendations and was so attentive. Will definitely be back!

Amazing drinks, even better service. Josias is the best! Underrated spot, highly recommend a visit if you're ever out on 14th St.

josais is the best bartender in town, best service and hospitality. i love lucy because of him

Probably the best Italian Food that I had outside of Italy. The ambience is so vibrant and great for fun. The bruschetta is to die for and the pasta is amazing! Their band plays live music and their servers are so friendly. It's also reasonably priced. Would definitely come back!

I LOVE Lucy. This is such a fun new spot. The pizzas are perfect to split between two people. We love to get the monalizza with hot honey. The grandma's meatballs are a must-get app. Their cocktails are made with love and you can tell. totally a 4.75 place, there is live music some nights and it can get a little loud if your sitting close by!

The service is great. Food is fantastic. This is a great spot to relax, and hang out with your friends. Very cool that they have live music too (there was a jazz trio when I was there).

Living in the apartment building right next to this restaurant, I had very high hopes which have *mostly* been realized. I really like the aesthetic of this bar - it is well decorated and a great use of the space. The food and drinks are both very good - recommend the brussels! However, it is clear they are struggling with service - I've been probably 4-5 times at this point and every time, I need to flag down a server...who then seems annoyed with me. I understand it is a new restaurant and they are figuring it out, but the staff have consistently been less than friendly - like I am a burden for wanting to order another drink. I am hoping it will change once they are able to get more staff onboard and they are less stressed.

I'm someone who drinks because it's a social activity, not because I like drinking. I rarely can stomach more than one cocktail because of the alcohol taste... BUT I had 2 cocktails I actually liked at Lucy!!! The basil gimlet and the le voisin were both unique and delicious. My partner had the black magic and cin cyn and really liked the cin cyn. The vibes, music selection (and louder but not too loud) music was also inviting and uplifting. Great date night bar for first dates or long time lovers

This place has SO much potential. I've been here at least 6 times at both busy and dead times. The food is stellar. The drinks are good. The prices are good. The service is SEVERELY lacking. I understand being understaffed but on a non-busy day it takes at least 20 minutes and all sorts of frantic waving after we finish our first drinks to get ANYBODY to come around. Meanwhile, the hostess and other serving staff are sitting around talking to each other or slowly meandering around tables without stopping to ask if anyone needs anything. For the love of god, I want to give you my money!!! Please have someone check in more than once every 40 mins to take it from me!!

stopped by this spot for saturday happy hour and loved the energy! the bar was super cute, drinks were just as good, priced reasonably at 11-13 dollars a drink during happy hour. will definitely return :)

It's a great, chill aesthetic. Checked on a perfect amount, not enough to be annoyed. Drinks were 10/10, especially the Frozen Melon Marg! Food looked super good. Great happy hour. Servers were amazing especially our server, Brent. This is DC's new hot spot!

Great drinks, solid pizza, and fantastic service!! Definitely a great weekend spot or post work dinner/drinks!

Cute spot to grab a drink on 14th! Bustling on the weekends with lively and young energy. I got the frozen melon marg and my friend got la voisin. Both drinks were delicious and sweet. Our server was attentive.

Cute atmosphere, super fun cocktails, and yummy pizza :) I got a margarita, one of their specialty g&ts, and the burrata pizza and would recommend all three !

Amazing neighborhood spot for drinks! I love the music and the cocktail selection is vast. The season cocktails are always super creative. The pizza is delicious as well - easy to share with a group. I love coming here before a night out with friends and have introduced many people to it. The service is super fast.

Truly one of the worst customer service experiences I've had in DC. The food was delicious and the drinks were good, but I ordered a martini with rail vodka and was charged $22 (despite other martinis being on the menu for around $15) The bill stated that I had ordered a top-shelf vodka even though I had explicitly ordered rail vodka. When I tried to dispute this I was told that they can't do anything about this charge because they made and served me what I ordered. The bar manager was incredibly rude, told me there was nothing he could do, but could give me a discount the next time I came in (he wouldn't say how much the discount was, just kept saying "it depends"). I understand the bar manager isn't in charge of how the servers take orders and are responsible for making the drinks that they are presented orders for, so I asked to speak with the general manager or someone who is responsible for the servers/hosts and he said, "oh my god, these people." Will be going back for my discount (assuming I actually get it, since "it depends) and then never going again.

Good decor, ambiance and what not but the food is mid at best and that's putting it midly. Ordered two pizzas that had no meat whatsoever. One pizza -- I counted literally had 7 "pieces" of pepperoni on it. The sausage looked like droplets on the cheese and was a small portion. Full disclosure I was hungry after a workout but that was far from satisfying. It is a shame since they also own Slice N Pie next store but I would've been better off order 3 slices there and paying 20 bucks versus 50 dollars and needing to have another meal afterwards.

Decent options for a vegetarian in looking for quick food, but I've had better pizza. Appreciated the fast service on a Saturday night and non-greasiness.

Cool spot, good pizza, cocktails & music. Staff was nice and attentive. Will be back for sure.
