Awesome bar on H St. with speakeasy vibes. Delicious drinks, small bites (start with the hot mess tots!), and friendly, attentive bar staff. Music great too.

Service was amazing when I went. I arrived literally at 10PM when their kitchen closed and my bartender still let me sneak an order of dumplings in. It was so worth it! My first time here and glad I found it. Cute cocktail bar with speakeasy-ish vibes with reasonable prices. Will def be back!

Customer service was not right from the start and never warmed up. The inside is rather on the dark side for décor but is nice for a drink and go. Ordered the ceviche which was very sweet and didn't taste like ceviche more like a mango salsa. The kale salad was very soggy and lacked overall flavor. The hot honey shrimp were flavorful but due to the service would not return or recommend.

I showed up last Sunday to watch the Commanders play the Giants and had a great time at this bar. I got the Sunday football special, which let me choose between 2 food options and a drink. I wound up getting the old bay wings, hot mess tots, and a surf side tea, all of which was pretty good, especially getting all that for $14! It’s definitely a great vibe for football Sunday, and I’m thinking about coming here more often during the week as well!

Annie literally remembered us from more than 2 years ago!!!!!! Still my fav painkiller - tasty and strong. Service is obviously impeccable. Ambiance is changing - the menu is new - feels a bit more boogie and I'm not mad about it :)

The bartender/servicer was by himself but he made sure everyone is served with great services. Five stars for him. We order mess totes, buffalo wings and hot honey shrimp. All delicious. Nice small bar, with good atmosphere.

I actually stumbled into this bar late on a weekday night. They were the only bar only on the block and ended up being the perfect after-dinner spot. My date and I sat at the bar and ordered drinks. There were only a few other patrons so the energy felt relaxed and intimate. We were able to catch a few minutes of a Women's World Cup game, which was awesome since it didn't feel like a traditional sport bar. The lighting was low, the bar was backlight with greenery, and the cocktail selection was unique. I liked everything about this bar and I'll definitely post another visit when I'm on H. St.

Great spot. The staff is really friendly and the food is delicious. They often change up the menu by bringing in guest chefs too.

Had a great time here! The drinks and service were great. Didn’t have any of the food, but we totally would have had a few different things if we hadn’t just come from dinner. Can’t wait to come back!!Dietary restrictions: Had good gluten free drink options
