CherylSeptember 7, 2014Happy hour is awesome here! The trio of sliders is delicious. Tons of beer to choose from, cocktails are exquisite too. Excellent service. Would def recommend. No free wifi here.
Andrea NewlandFebruary 18, 2011This used to be the 1223 dance club...great cocktail lounge, awesome bar staff, martini theme everywhere...great lavendar martini's....good food-chicken skewers and hummus! Jazzy music...great place..
RichardJuly 31, 2011Great drinks. Excellent appetizers (tomatoes and marscapone, mussels, flatbread); terrific entrees and small plates (scallops and Lamb chops were great). Super service: Seth is helpful and fun.
Pam KingMarch 3, 2015Nice rooftop happy hour, with one of my favorite bartenders in DC. Would love to see them change up the selection though.

Arielle McDermottFebruary 20, 2012Adam is the most informative bartender I've ever had. Ask for him. Also, the entire place is gorgeous. Beautiful lighting, and clean.
Justine JanuszkiewiczJuly 29, 2013The caramel martini was the best martini I've ever had, and I'm not even a huge fan of caramel.
AdrienneOctober 9, 2011The bartenders can be a little rude, but the Martini's are definitely worth it! They have a pretty decent Happy Hour from 4-7.

Armands ChagnonFebruary 12, 2011Tell the bartender Sean Wolf a fruit/season/feeling/emotion or favorite alcohol and he will come up with a drink for you
Frank MartinJune 26, 2011Jonathan is an amazing bartender with a vast knowledge of drinks. Look for him; tell him Frank sent you!
CarolynMarch 14, 2011Great upscale bar- no line, no cover, not a club, great drinks and a really nice staff!
Juliana H.October 2, 2011Just invented a new cocktail! Prosecco, Stoli Chocolate Raspberry and Chambord...the Jul-tini!
Gavin SchmidtMarch 6, 2012Act indignant when they tell you to get off the swing... Why in the world did you put this in here if you don't want people to swing on it?
Steve McWhiteNovember 13, 2011Steve and Will make awesome drinks...these guys really know their alcohol!
Make sure you get Jonathan Sali at the bar. Great, creative drinks & a lovely guy
jenifer coutureFebruary 12, 2014If you're going to call your establishment dirty martini the least you can do is make sure all of your staff know how to make one (very disappointing)
Make sure to come in on valentines day for an amazing dinner!
Bill FischerDecember 12, 2011Cosmo was on the mark - very good. Space was cold, had to keep my jacket on and the lights were so bright.- Restaurant week is coming up and Dirty Martini has some great new plates!
Detroit On TapDecember 7, 2010Great happy hour: $2 Off Drafts$3 Off Cocktails$5 Wine by the Glass$6 Appetizers
Julian BravoJanuary 19, 2014It was probably the WORST martini I've ever had: salty, simple, didn't taste like gin. The other cocktails weren't good either. Service was average. Not coming back.
Stephanie P.July 13, 2013Ok. So this place absolutely sucks. Service is awful and it's not classy at all - they pretend to be, but it's a joke.
Pedro BrachoNovember 14, 2014Manager try to charged me a drink I didn't order, and instead of have a humble attitude the guy was rude. Not cool
Michael O.February 5, 2012Lame drinks...Manhattans were disappointing...don't be fooled by the name...they don't make good drinks here.
