The drinks on the menu were ok. Drinks not on the menu even better! The Fledgling (w/ the straw), Infinitum, Dancing with chaos, Lemon drop. The black normal looking door is the entrance, it is very secretive and nondescript. For anyone who has recently seen 1923 it is very much like the Speakeasy making you wonder if you are in the right place. There is a doorman and once you enter in, it is dark and secretive feeling with the candles and dim lighting. We ended up moving out to the patio, which that was a thing even tho no one was out there and there really wasnt many inside. The doorman had to come move us. Our waitress was not helpful nor really engaged with us ....until it was time to pay and then wanted to make an impression. And we never saw any sort of food menu so I honestly don't know that there actually is food.

A true speakeasy !!! Hard to come by now that they are popularized. Unmarked door, looks like a vacant building. But once you get in it’s a pre-prohibition theme and they really stick to it - they won’t serve a drink that didn’t exist at that time (I.e. espresso martini). I recommend a reservation.

Cute, nice, quaint spot. Very relaxed and intimate speakeasy. The bartender Dwayne was amazing! Great drinks and good vibes I will definitely be back.

Squint at the door with an eye to leave the street chaos behind you. Yes, it is that door, just as (hopefully) unassuming as your expectations as a speakeasy. You find it unlocked. A friendly face greets you and finds you a place. The staff are knowledgeable and help you find a drink that suits your preferences. The ambiance offers you a recuse from Georgetown, if only for a while.

Marvelous little speakeasy with an amazing staff! Their cocktails are uniquely seasonal, but they are great at coming up with options catered to your palate as well. When you want to branch out and try new flavors or spirits, this is a great place to do it!

Nighttime Shenanigans at it's Finest 💯 If you're on the hunt for a classic speakeasy with excellent cocktails, bartenders and atmosphere - This is a must visit 🥃🍸 We went here with some friends after a show at the DC Improv - and we were impressed to say the least. Great place for crafted cocktails and conversations can easily be had. Everyone loves hunting for this place - But it's relatively easy to find. Highly recommend 👍👍

The drinks we ordered were consistently bad. The old fashioned was too strong. The infinitum tasted like cheap seltzer with a smell of citrus. No effort on presentation. Super small glasses. I have been to many bars but this is the worst experience I have ever had, in terms of service and cocktails. Cool concept but not worth it.
