The Biggest New Restaurant Openings in D.C., March 2025 | Eater DC

"Billed as the country's "first nonalcoholic LGBTQ+ bar," this concept opened in the iconic space that long housed the Gibson speakeasy and revives the dearly missed back patio. The venue opens at 8 a.m. daily with hot (Lost Sock) and cold (Commonwealth Joe) coffees, teas, and turmeric juices, and it serves spirit-free cocktails as late as midnight on weekends." - Tierney Plumb

I heard about the queer space Spark Social House offering Non Alcoholic Beverages and Cocktails we decided to stop by and check it out with my girlfriend and a couple of friends. It was a very cute Bar with a nice heated patio nicely decorated.. very cozy. Was pretty busy downstairs, we toured the building and on the upstairs bar we ordered our drinks and let me say!!! They were otherworldly, Slay Bells with Aperol and Cranberry was my pick for the night. Our friend ordered New Fashion and was skeptic about it. She thoroughly enjoyed her Boozless Cocktail. Our Bartender Elijah was very nice and patient guiding us through the menu and explaining to us the concept of the doubled menu despite being busy with a bunch of people around the bar! Final thoughts definitely a regular spot for the weekend even during the day to enjoy their coffee specialties! Great job Spark Team

If you ever find yourself at this bar and don’t get a drink from Elijah, you’re genuinely missing out. Elijah is hands down one of the best bartenders I’ve ever experienced. From the moment you walk up, Elijah makes you feel seen, welcomed, and completely at ease. He has that rare ability to read the room perfectly: whether you want playful banter, a comforting chat, or just an expertly made cocktail served fast, he nails it every single time. His energy is infectious in the best way, fun, confident, warm, and effortlessly cool. The drinks? Immaculate. Balanced, strong without being sloppy, and always consistent. You can tell Elijah actually cares about what he’s serving and who he’s serving it to. Even when the bar is slammed and the crowd is packed, he never loses his composure or kindness. He somehow manages to keep things moving while still making every person feel like a priority.

Lovely coffee shop that has now turned to my go to when I need to get some work done with a delicious cup of coffee. The Wifi works well and there are plenty of outlets. The staff genuinely wants you to enjoy yourself feel comfortable in the space. I've been to a few evening events as well and highly enjoyed that. Good turn out and I'm excited to see what they put on next.

Went here for a holiday party, and it's become my new favorite place! I love that they have so many non-alcoholic options, with mocktails (every cocktail has a non-alcoholic version) plus juice, coffee, and tea. I got the Purple Reign non-alcoholic version and it was the best mocktail I've ever had! Spark Social also supports Free DC, so that's another big reason I'll be supporting them going forward.

Was lucky to be there on opening day! The staff is extremely kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is friendly and comfortable—with cute details all over the space! And don’t even get me started on the gorgeous patio! There are plenty of outlets all over, so it is ideal to go work and focus, while also running into friends and enjoying a delicious drink. Cannot wait to be back!

Had a great time here celebrating my bf’s birthday with some of his friends. The vibe was great, drinks were tasty (with mocktail options for every cocktail), and the best part of the experience was the service! Shoutout to Elijah for making our night! He’s the best.

New routines, spaces, or environments can be hard for me. I can say confidently as a result, that I've not felt as seen, safe, and comfortable as when I visited Spark Social House today. There were a number of spaces that each differently helped me stay focused on work, or fully immerse myself in my book, or journal...all while sipping delicious drip coffee and eating one of the better grilled cheeses I've had in a while. This team has created something really special here where everyone feels like a regular; and I hope they get ready to see me regularly.

The folks here were so wonderful and friendly. Food and drink was wonderful. I loved the variety of locations and sensory options. The artwork posted about is wonderful. Very welcoming for people with low sensory threshold. I'll definitely be coming again.

Love that there's a new coffee place on 14th! Spontaneously stopped in on our way home one evening and shared a latte. The drink was great- not super sweet but still good. Great friendly service and I feel like it would also be a great spot to get some work done in. Excited to come back again!
