This experience was everything!! A local influencer I follow (@onthemovewithmad) posted about this place and I knew I had to take my bestie here for the adorable grilled cheese and tomato soup. Three weeks ago we did a little staycation & foodie tour of our own in Logan Circle and ventured over to Quill in the frigid weather, which made our experience all the more perfect. First - The Jefferson hotel that houses this little lounge called Quill is simply gorgeous. I'm going to need to come back here and explore. Anyway, I'm going to call Quill a lounge, it was tucked away in a quant little part of the hotel with a full bar and luxury seating. And the music they were playing (think 50s nightclub with mellow blues & jazz) perfectly complimented the setting. We were luckily and I think the cold kept people away, so there was only another bestie couple at the bar. The bartender was our server and was very attentive. The drinks were pretty pricey, so we focused on the foot this go around. Apparently the Roasted Tomato Soup & Gruyère Grilled Cheese is an appetizer, but we each ordered our own. And man were we glad we did. It was served hot & fresh with the cutest presentation. The flavors were spectacular! The soup was steamy and the cheese oozed out of the perfectly buttery toast. Portion size was perfect for modest lunch, but it would be hard to she this with anyone cause it's just so good!Then we had the Baby Gem Salad and the kitchen split it for us, perfect presentation on two plates. Salad was fresh and fantastic. But wait - there's more! I can't remember the name of the desert for the life of me, but it was a perfect ending. These fried dough balls & dip were decadent! Positive we'll be back.

I actually liked this bar! I got one drink called Portugal the drink. It was actually a very good flavor profile. Good construction. I really enjoyed it. It was not very sweet. They had some different drink variations with unique ingredients. I think the thing I enjoyed the most was the ambiance. It's really got a nice aesthetic appeal. Service was very good and they have street parking which is not hard to find that at the time that I came in. They also give you complimentary nuts as well as olives and other pickles to nosh on. While you're having your drink. I definitely would recommend By the way, this is not a speakeasy, but rather a upscale cocktail bar experience. That being said, price is pretty standard. I didn't think it was overpriced, but don't expect it to be cheap. They don't use cheap ingredients and the bar is well stocked. If you're in the area, I think you would like it.

Service was awesome, and the drinks were delicious. John was our waiter and recommended the Quillivardier which I really enjoyed. The only thing I didn't like was the TV behind the bar that made it feel a bit less like the cocktail bar that it's supposed to be and gave it some weird sports bar vibes. Would definitely still come back!

Lovely atmosphere for drinks with coworkers friends and loved ones. The drinks are fantastic. I had the excuse me, sir, which has Beyoncé's whiskey in it Sir Davis. And it was absolutely delicious. I also had the Arancini balls the tuna tart and they were both exceptional.

Classy old school cocktail bar. Stopped in for a couple of old fashions and they were spot on. Great olive and mixed nuts plates complimentary with the drinks. Got there just as the piano player started. It's on the pricier side, but well worth it.

You only get to celebrate 10 amazing years of marriage once. Traditionally it is the Tin year. Forget that - we wanted to celebrate in style. We decided to go to the Jefferson hotel for our celebration. We originally had the hotel on our short list for our wedding reception but went with another venue a decade ago. With all that as background our first stop was the Quill bar and lounge. A great place to start with a nice cocktail. My wife had "Take a chance on me" and I had "La Boheme". Afterwards we shared "De-Peche-mode"The service was fantastic and they gave us some nuts and olives to share. Sitting outside on a beautiful evening got our celebration going in the right direction.If you want to have some amazing cocktails, you have to try the Quill.

Definitely a great bar to grab awesome food and libations. The service was spectacular. The bar tenders know their stuff. I can't remember the name of the burger I had, but it was huge, filling and tasty. #DukeOfEats

Tucked away off the lobby of the Jefferson Hotel, this is a great spot for drinks and a light meal. The atmosphere is clubby but doesn't feel overly exclusive and casual dress is fine here. Attentive service, our waitperson engaged us in an interesting and helpful conversation about museums we might visit, both in DC and Philadelphia. Definitely a hidden gem!
