No Kisses Bar

What a cool spot! This bar is located in the back of the pizza parlor, Sunny's. They have a ton of amazing natural wine that I was grateful to try - really interesting offerings that you might not find everywhere else. The decor is really funky with cool lighting, weird wallpaper, and lava lamps. There's even a large outdoor patio space connected to both the bar and the pizza shop that looks like fun. I would love to return and actually eat here too - they have gluten free pizza that looked pretty good judging by the pics on Yelp. It's cool to see a place like this in an area of DC that doesn't get quite as much attention. There's so many amazing cocktail bars in DC but not as many incredible natural wine bars, so they really are doing themselves a favor by standing out with such a unique selection. I can't wait to return!

We were disappointed with No Kisses. The atmosphere is phenomenal, dim but colorfully lit in front with an outdoor beer garden setup in back. However,it's a cocktail place, and the drinks were not great. I would say it's a cocktail place for people who don't like cocktails because they aren't mixed well. Both drinks we tried were way overpowering on the sweet mixers and a little watery. To charge $12 for this is criminal. If you want a good cocktail, go up the street to Reliable Tavern instead (or if you can venture to another neighborhood, McClellans Retreat, Copycat, Morris, All Souls, Service Bar, Green Zone, etc). All are similarly priced at much higher quality. If you just want a beer while eating some Sonnys pizza, it's not bad.I mention Sonnys because the bar is connected to Sonnys. While Sonnys is open, you get to No Kisses by walking in Sonnys and going through a side door, but if Sonnys is closed, you go down the narrow alley between Sonnys and Doubles.

Recommending to anyone and everyone I give a tour of DC. The area is not as a popular destination compared to the other neighborhoods to go out but this place is going to change that. Its about 3PM and you're eager to check it out so you came a couple hours before it opens. What are you going to do? Don't fret because the sister stores are there for you to kill time and that's exactly what we did. No Kisses is part of a trio where the backyard patio is shared among the businesses. Instead of the patio in the sweltering heat, we plopped ourselves right in Colony Club.Its 5PM! The entrance is already setting a mood. Walk into the bar and I'm digging the vibe from the light fixtures down to the velvet booths. Also, they have a very killer playlist. Claps to you. Take your date here. Grab a drink or two and chill for a while.

I must admit that I hadn't planned on coming here. I was actually at Sonny's next door for pizza but the placed was packed. We didn't even know there was a bar next door until our server said we could grab a drink there and they would bring our pizza. The bar was completely unexpected. The entire place was lit with purple light. It was cool, and set a nice vibe, but I had to break out the glasses to read the drink menu on blue paper! The crowed was dIverse, the vibe was comfy, and the drinks were tasty.

Terrible terrible terrible place. Would never eat here. Roaches crawling out of the walls in the back patio. The servers were confrontational. All in all gross and not a fun time.

I came here on their opening night curious to see this secret bar. After I finally found the entrance I was blown away with the retro vibe, the light up ceiling and beautiful velvet booths that line the walls. I've tried many different drinks there. By far my favorite from the menu is the genever and juice. Also during the fall they make this great apple cider with a little whiskey. That'll warm you up on a cold night. But what's also great about this place is that you can talk to one of the bartenders and they love to go off menu. I tried this vodka and chocolate liquor style drink once, oh my god it was so amazing. And what's even better here you can order food next door in Sonny's and they'll bring it over to you. I don't know what they're doing during covid. I think they're selling gift cards online and they have a staff relief fund I encourage you to donate to. Let's make sure this amazing bar survives covid.

No Kisses is an amazing new bar with a beer garden out back and a gorgeous interior. The cocktails were pretty good, and they also sell pitchers of beer. This bar is right next to the new pizza place, Sonny's, on Georgia Ave. They share a kitchen so you can order Sonny's entire menu. We ordered a pizza, the meatball sandwhich, and the garlic knots. After recovering from my carb coma, I am happy to report the food was enjoyed by all. The pizzas and large salads are huge, big enough to feed 3-4 people each. I'm not sure what this place would be like when the weather is cold, but during the warm months is a beautiful spot to enjoy the weather and some good drinks with friends. We also noticed several people with young children so it's also family friendly!

The odd fashion was my favorite cocktail of the night. I also tried the Capetown Spritz which was very refreshing. If you get hungry, Sonny's Pizza is next door. You have to go over to their side to place your order, but they will bring your food into the bar for you to enjoy there. The patio was packed with a variety of people, young and old, enjoying pizza. Throughout the night there was an increase of customers going straight to the patio and others enjoying the cushy seating and dim lighting of the bar. Someone eventually turned on the ceiling light where variety of colors flashed across the ceiling. This was a nice touch that drew a few people to take photos. The music was a mix of chill vibes, I caught songs by Solange, Teyana Taylor and Lauryn Hill throughout the night. The cocktails are well made. I can see myself coming back and bringing a friend from out the area for a lowkey spot to grab a unique cocktail.

I really like the space, and I like Sonny's pizza. But reading some of these reviews....gotta give some honest feedback...I agree it's perfect for day drinking...except they're not open during the day....The cocktails are ok, but nothing to write home about, and the menu is really limited. The bartenders are super friendly, but if they're not popping a beer, or making one of the menu cocktails, they're not having it.Again, the space is awesome, and I think with some course correction and menu evolution, it'll be awesome. Until then though, there's too many other places. I am looking forward to giving it another go in a month or so and seeing what's up.

Beautiful outdoor space where they serve drinks from a vintage truck. I only passed through the indoor area but it had a very cool vibe to it. Very friendly staff here and great food is available to order from Sonny's Pizza next door. Would highly recommend!
