L’Annexe

Great bar in Georgetown. You might miss it while walking around in the area, but I highly recommend. I came here with co-workers after work for some drinks. The bartender was professional and well-versed with his work. There are unique drinks that really work well for anyone. The bartender made the drinks a little strong, but that's better than being watered down. The atmosphere is great, and it feels cozy in here. Can't say anything about the food here as we just had drinks. The bathrooms are located in the basement.

Perfect vibe for a catch-up, nightcap, or date. L'Annexe is located in the heart of Georgetown and their cocktails were well worth the visit. Inventive with creative takes on classics (the rotating old fashioned included duck fat - yes it was delicious), L'Annexe provided a great atmosphere with light music, a casual buzz from the conversations taking place, and friendly and attentive bartenders working their magic and making great recommendations. While we didn't come for food, we could not say no to some light bites. This is a gem and one we look to revisit soon!

This is such a cute bar. Great ambiance and fun place to hang out with friends. I got the Calling all Angels, which features rum, scotch, pineapple, green chartreuse, almond milk, and citrus.

A low-key but still lively bar in Georgetown with a great selection of cocktails. We stopped in after dinner on my birthday. The manager and our server were very friendly. Our server, Will, helped us pick the perfect cocktails based on our preferences and made the night extra special for us. Exceptional service, sophisticated cocktails and a classy environment. Would definitely recommend!

This bar had such a unique and cozy atmosphere! We were a relatively large party, so they seated us in the back. It felt like a hidden gem tucked away from the rest of the bar, giving us a more private experience.The drink menu stood out because it was full of unconventional options. Our waiter was helpful guiding us through the menu and recommending drinks based on our preferences. I got the BBLL which was really good and refreshing.Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a spot that offers something a little different from your typical bar!

This bar has three distinct areas. One is the bar, which is the first thing you see, and, in my opinion, the most chill area. The second part is the dining area, which is incredibly loud if it's full. The last area is this library-like section in the back, which seemed really cool and the most speakeasy of it all. But according to the staff, they charge by the hour there.I was first, and I briefly considered relocating from the dining area to the bar, but we just stayed there. It really was loud, lol. I got the Benny Blanco and shared a taco and slider with my friend. Benny Blanco was fantastic, and, while the Korean taco had good flavor, it fell apart. For almost $10/taco, they should definitely not be falling apart! Layering up extra saucy tacos should be a given. Slider was good too.I had a good time, but I wouldn't call it one of my favorite city speakeasies. I could hear the music from down the block... and it's really not hidden, haha -- but that back room? That definitely counts.

Came here for some drinks and the wait took awhile. We got the espresso martini, which wasn't bad. A little too strong for my taste so my boyfriend finished mine.

Fabulous bar! Definitely worth a repeat! Great service, cozy environment, with a natural look and feel, and just the right type of food in the menu to not distract from the fact that it is a cocktail place. We tried a few of the drinks, and I can say every single one of them was delicately prepared by the mixologist at the bar. Highly recommend!!

This is a cute bar. Very small, but cute. It's located right on M St in Georgetown, so I can imagine that parking is a nightmare.The inside had a lot going on, but I like it. It looked like a classy bar, a log cabin, and a speakeasy all in one, with a huge map of DC on one side of the bar. We walked in without reservations on a Friday evening, and it was packed. There were no seats available at the bar and all the tables were taken. We waited for a few minutes, and luckily, one of the tables left, so we were then able to sit. The staff was mostly nice, but out server seemed very timid and confused. The drink menu is very creative and exciting, with drinks ranging from $18-22. I opted for the Wild Margarita Chapter VII. It was supposed to be like a spicy cucumber margarita, but it was surprisingly on the bland side. It wasn't bad, just a little disappointing. My friend opted for a mocktail since she was driving. Although mocktails aren't listed on the menu, the server said that they did have one. Unfortunately, my friend did not want it because it sounded sweet. A manager walked by, so she asked the manager if the bartender could come up with something creative. Luckily, he did, and she liked it. We didn't stay long, but I am looking forward to coming back and trying more of the drinks because I'm still intrigued and liked the vibe of the bar.

I think the portion that's shown online (the gorgeous library vibe) doesn't match the normal experience here. First, you only get sat in the trendy portion if you have a group of 6 or more. The front bar was cute but the middle part we were sat in was cold and very millennial. I was quite bummed that we couldn't be sat in the nicer atmosphere but whatever.Drinks are all $20-$25+ which I guess is normal for the area. For $19 you can get three burger sliders without even a side of chips or fries. The burger quality was good but they were too messy and they want to up charge you for a 4th slider so a party of 2 could both split and have 2 each. Make sure to specify Tap water and not just still- their still water is $8 Evian. Service was ok but was never sure who was our true waiter or waitress.We were the only people in the middle room at 5:30 and they decided to sit another two top directly to our right. The tables are about one foot apart so it ruined the date night vibe (and there were 9 other open tables they could have been sat). The drinks were a bit too funky- a few were OK but duck fat bourbon drinks didn't sound too tasty.Overall the ambiance wasn't what expected, we basically ended up with over priced water and sliders and sitting directly next to strangers in an empty room.
