Alias on 14th

Excellent food and drinks! The decor is beautiful! This hip and happening bar recently started karaoke on Wednesdays from 7-10pm and DJ music on the weekends. Latin, hip hop, etc. Amazing drink specials on Wednesdays! $5 house liquor drinks and $5 seltzers! The calamari was on point, and the menu looks so good that I want to try everything! My friend sampled a few dishes and said it was delicious!Bathrooms are clean and there's only a few stairs to get to the bottom where it's located. Staff is super friendly, and I've already returned several times!

Come very picture worthy cocktails and lots of room for your big group. The cocktails were delicious and strong and definitley creative. A few of us got something that was served with a bubble from a bubble gun. So 5 stars for presentation! But at $16 each, the vibe of the bar was a little boring and not totally worth it. We were all there on a Thursday night and the DJ was great, but the dance floor (and the rest of the bar) was totally empty. There was really no one in this bar other than our group of 5 or 6 girls. Maybe try this spot on a Friday or Saturday?? Or if you have a big group and you want to try out a spot you know you'll all be able to get in to. I can see it being great with a good crowd, but an empty bar + pricy cocktails is not always a recipe for a wild night out.

Alias is a cool spot, with stunning cocktails. The vibes on a Thursday evening were... well non-existent. We were a group of 5 and there were maybe 10 total people in the bar, including staff. They had a DJ, but clearly Thursday is not the night to come to Alias. The temperature inside was pretty warm in the reserved lounge area. We had to ask them to check on the AC a few times, which the staff very kindly did. They checked in with us a few times to see if things had cooled down.We all ordered cocktails and they were really well done and beautiful. I ordered the The Bubble-Icious cocktail. When it was served, the server brought a bubble gun to put the bubble on top which was very cool and "instagram-able". At the end of the day, a $16 cocktail needs to come with slightly better ambiance to be worth the trip. I'd consider coming back on a more popular night, but I'm worried I'd get even warmer with more people around.

Came here for the soft opening about a month-ish ago. At first I was super ecstatic! What a cool spot with neat decor and a happening bar. I was definitely loving this speakeasy vibe. Well that vibe lasted maybe an hour as the place turned into a club with tapas/ food service at tables.My perspective on this place changed quickly and not for the best. We got some items to munch on. Majority of the food came paired with fried items that were not listed on the menu e.g. chicharron with the beef tartar...interesting touch but unexpected. Luckily the group I was there with has no dietary restrictions...but what if I had someone in my party who didn't eat pork?! Unfortunately, the fried pairing touch had another set back- the taste. It tasted old and stale..these items without a doubt were fried in cold oil. Finally the service...just HORRIBLE. Understanding it was opening night, we were very patient, but there was a lot that can be handled better with the service.

Overall really enjoyed Alias for the cute aestetic and great cocktails. Came fairly early on a Friday night (maybe 830/9) and the bar was empty. Its hard to tell the vibe theyre going for. Given the bouncer out front and general decor it looks like a club but there were people in the back area eating dinner (the place is attached to Dolce Vita next door) like a restaurant and the pink door is kind of hidden so it feels like a speakeasy.All that being said, i loved my drink. I had the thai tea drink and it was so good and creative! Tasted like a marshmallow and was the perfect treat and the presentation was so cute. My friend had a champagne cocktail loaded with flowers. Delicuous and adorable! The bartenders were super friendly and attentive.Id be curious to see if this place turns into more of a lively club at night but definitely would come back for another delicious cocktail.

This place has shut down :( So sad to see it go, but the owner of Dolce Vita (next door) said it's been closed for a couple of weeks now.

Alias on 14th replaces Sotto, where you previously could catch jazz over drinks and candlelight. Alias is it's devil-horned EDM twin. Think sexy lounge spot for nightlife, with neon signs galore. The stage where performances used to be? Your very own private 'section' with velvet sofas.Discovered this spot after seeing their feature in Washingtonian. The pictures in the article don't lie: this spot is an Instagram destination for sure. Find the bright pink door.Came on a Thursday night for a night cap with girlfriends and we were basically the only ones in the place. They had a DJ playing remixes of both new and classics, so it seemed like they anticipated (or are used to) crowds. Here's to hoping it caters towards an older crowd and doesn't end up like a Salazar!

Super cute spot! Went for date night with my fiancé & we enjoyed ourselves. We went a little earlier in the night so it wasn't packed. Found 2 good seats at the bar where the bartender was friendly and helpful. Suggested an old fashioned like drink to my fiancé and I just got a glass of wine. Our food came out rather quickly and although the portions weren't big, it tasted so good. We would recommend this place to our friends.

Super cute speakeasy vibes! I'm a sucker for a good cocktail with liquor and either champagne or sparkling wine in it so naturally I ordered the Fizzed cocktail drink. It was pretty good, I'd come back and order more drinks again. Honestly I didn't stay at the place long just ordered a drink or two with friends but I'm rating it 3.5 stars for the decor and cocktails (which was a bit pricey starting at $16. When I return again I'll update you all about the food, DJ, and service. Stay tuned!

What a RIPOFF with the MANDATORY 20% TIP. Ordered 4 Jameson Whiskeys in one order and they throw in a 20%, $12 Tip just to hand me over 3 drinks, since 1 was a double. I WON'T BE GETTING RIPOFF AT THIS PLACE AGAIN!!! I SUGGEST everyone argues and fights back about this!!!
