Never Looked Better

It's a bar. Tucked away in a random alleyway this spot is cute for a date night if you've lined your stomach enough to binge drink as they don't serve food. I had:I'm Blue - 10/10 - very tropical and simplebut did the trick. I'd order it again. My favorite part was writing on the walls lol. Other than that it's not much to write about. The service was great and the drinks were as well. I'd come back if someone was paying :o).

I LOVED the vibe of this place! A friend and I came after having dinner nearby, and for a Saturday night, though I snuck over before we wrapped things up just to make sure we weren't entering a crowd. I was surprised that it wasn't more crowded. I guess it's doing a great job of being hidden -- though I know many people know about it. I won't spoil the surprise too much about the entrance, so I'll skip that. The security guy once you get inside was one of the friendliest I have ever interacted with. He allowed me to walk through, and... I imagine the decor changes with every season, but I loved the beach vibe they had going.I loved the multiple options... we could be loungy under some umbrellas, sit at the bar, sit at some more traditional tables. So nice! The music all night was spot on... as were the vibes. It got busier as the night progressed, but nothing crazy. And the bartenders were incredibly friendly as well. I recommend the spot to anyone nearby. That whole alley is poppin!The drink prices are on par with other speakeasies, but I didn't see as many unique ones on the menu. There were a couple though! I found out that the ownership is shared with The Mirror, which happened to be my very first speakeasy in DC.

Never Looked Better is definitely a cute vibe. I prefer this location over other "secret" speakeasies around the downtown area.The staff was chill but professional, and there was a female DJ that was keeping the vibe going. The bartenders are nice too, and were attentive to my crew.The theme inside was cherry blossom and it was fun. There's plenty of bar seating and a few couches that are for reservation.The drinks are good..and strong, so just a heads up.The diverse crowd, and the mix of hip hop, house, and old school music-makes this place an excellent choice to finish out the night. The bathrooms are unisex...and are kept surprisingly clean. Highly recommend!!

Never Looked Better is definitely Insta ready, but that's pretty much all it has going for it. Never Looked Better had been on my list for ages, so when we finally had the chance to pop in on a date night, we search and scoured and finally found it. The ambiance is super cool, with tons of photo spots. The music was fine when we stopped in. Please note, we are millennials. We def stopped in on the earlier side without a crowd at all, and that was fine by us. The three stars comes from the drinks. There's zero creativity. My espresso martini was good, but the menu lacks innovation. If you want an a-ok drink that you could easily make at home, by all means, stop by and take a sweet pic while you're there. If you'd like a beverage that you can't make at home, I'd skip this one (or pop in just for one and the pics... seriously, it's grammable), and head to one of the numerous spots nearby.

This is a TRUE speakeasy, not one of those fake speakeasy's that say they are a speakeasy, but are blatantly obvious, everyone knows where it is, and there is at least an hour wait to get in. I love that it's one way in and one way out to keep it discreet in the very active blagden alley. The bouncer is also always super helpful, asking if we know the address for the Uber and where the exit and bathrooms are. The drinks are strong and delicious and the decor is Instagram worthy. The djs are always playing the best music and the whole place is just a vibe! Located below eighteenth street lounge, the speakeasy feel is definitely there and it's never too overly crowded!

Love this cute speakeasy. They always have great service & yummy (strong) drinks! It's not a huge space but they do have a little spot in the back that is more lounge-y.

Never looked better is a fun place to find and then enjoy the atmosphere. The decor inside gives lots of opportunities to take pictures. There's lots of space to sit whether its up against the wall or under the neon signs. I wouldn't suggest spending too much time here as most of the fun is actually finding the place. The cocktails aren't original but they are good. The service is fast even when it's busy and its to your table so you dont need to wait around the bar area. Recommend stopping in and then continuing on to one of the other speakeasies in the area.

Cute speakeasy! Brought a friend from out of town the bartender was amazing and very personable, only tried one cocktail but I plan to come back!

Such a cute underground speak easy bar! It's usually always pretty empty when I go so you get served immediately! The drinks are always super strong but gooodddd! I usually get the Moscow mule but can never finish it though haha! Would def recommend!

The vibes here are immaculate. Absolutely loved the aesthetic of this place and the playlist was absolutely on fire! Kit, the bartender was so friendly and kind! And the cocktails were delicious. No notes!
