All Souls Bar

Don't sleep on the extensive cocktail list! They got 40+ cocktails on the deeper menu - can't wait to come back another time and try something new

Great neighborhood bar, finally reviewing after all these years. It's more laidback, great for catching up with friends, not loud. Bar inside with seating inside and a nice patio when weather is good. Cocktails are cheap for DC standards - order at the bar and take them to your seats.

Came for the spacious patio outside and was pleased with how friendly and open the bartenders were to us brining our own food to eat while we drink. That alone deserved 5 stars.But no, the inside was on brand and cool. The drink menu is condensed, but I like it that way (less overwhelm). I ordered a cosmo which was just perfect--maybe best I've ever had and a beautiful pink color. I also ordered a no 45, which was tasty and refreshing.Some time around 8pm the place got really busy where tables were covered and the inside was standing room only, so I feel this is a good spot to start your night.

Went to All Souls for a date and I've never been before. They only have like bar snacks but they obviously have a wide array of drinks. The servers were nice and down to earth. It gave rocker, dim lighting, vibey. I saw a lot of people there on dates and a couple groups of friends. It wasn't the most outrageous prices for drinks. I got the Rose and Makers Mark which was $12 for the two drinks. A 2 in 1, which is good for a date if you're a Rosé girl like me and are with someone that likes Bourbon. Good for the checkbook!

This place is the true definition of a neighborhood corner bar. It's cozy inside with a nice, airy patio, and the bartenders are so friendly and knowledgeable. They have a good selection of beer and wine, but their cocktails are where they really shine - there's a shortlist of specials on the board above the bar, but my friend who brought me showed me the pro-tip of pulling up the full cocktail library on their website!The one I chose had aperol, rum, maybe some grapefruit/other fresh citrus juice? Whatever it was, it was absolutely phenomenal. So smooth and clearly made by a very seasoned mixologist. I'd come back here in a heartbeat!

This is my sister's default bar; she's a DC native. She converted me and it's where I bring friends when I'm here on a work trip. It's a cozy, dark, neighborhood bar focused on cocktails, mostly made from standard ingredients (I wouldn't exactly call it "craft" but they're not basic either. ) Service is quick, staff are friendly, and if you look through the library on their website, there's guaranteed to be a drink for you. They've started using more products made in DC, which is also cool. Prices are lower than most cocktail bars, and yes they do add a mandatory 22% "tip", but people, wait staff have to eat. They now kind of have a little food, but basically bring it yourself or order in. Can't go wrong with a giant slice from the pizza next door. I'll stop coming back here when it burns down, pretty much.

As I continue to tackle my list of places to go in DC, I decided to check out this place yesterday. It was meh. It's a dive bar located in a pretty quiet neighborhood. The bartender wasn't friendly at all. She was busy writing things in a notebook and doing crossword puzzles and seemed like a rather unfriendly person. The drinks were ok. This place definitely isn't my cup of tea but I wanted to scratch it off my list as it gets good reviews online.

Stopped by for a drink before a show at The Howard Theater. They had a great special with Rose and Maker's shot for $12. Can't beat that! The vibes were cool and the bartenders were nice. Will go back.

It's pricey and dark and hard to find seating but the bartenders are nice and the drinks are good. No happy hour & they have a 20% service fee added. Make sure you come early to get a seat. LGBTQ friendly and accessible friendly (there was a small ramp & it's open/large inside).

Came with friends from out of town before dinner reservations and ordered the All Souls. The sparking rose and maker's mark was a nice combination that was soothing and searing. The space looked small but was quite cozy and comfortable. We sat together and chatted easily without disturbing others. There is one restroom but it was clean and gender neutral. We didn't have any of the food but the snack options looked tempting.
