The Fountain Inn

I started with these Rebellious Old Fashion cocktail and it was delicious. We got marinated olives as an appetizer and they were served warm. They were delicious and the perfect company to our cocktail. The portion was generous. Then I got the evening's special, which was wagu beef and broccoli. The waiter described it as sort of a riff on Chinese beef and broccoli. But it couldn't have been more different... and more delicious. This is probably the best dish I've eaten all month. It was absolutely amazing. I told our server that I wanted to marry the chef, that's how good it was!Service was excellent! Highly recommend and I'll be back (to marry the chef). Jk!

I loved my experience at The Fountain Inn. My friend and I had such a good time doing the Historical Cocktail Tasting. We sat at the downstairs bar and enjoyed hearing the history of the inn and the cocktails we were drinking. Our server was great. My favorite was the Fish House Punch, and I ordered a variation of that as a final drink, while my friend got the Sanibel. We shared the corn risotto and Innkeeper's Ration charcuterie board, and both were delicious. The dark, cozy feel of The Fountain Inn is perfect. They also have outdoor seating. I'm very interested in returning and trying some of their other experiences.

I came here for a whiskey tasting and it was excellent. They had us upstairs in a small room that was very cozy; leather chairs, nice decorations, a nice fireplace.The staff were also all very friendly.They have a very large whiskey selection with newer bottles but also older and rarer bottles. Their cocktail menu also looked delicious and fairly priced. Will have to come here again for cocktails or a flight of whiskey!

We found this place because of the bourbon/whiskey menu and it didn't disappoint. Great service and drinks. Food was good too! We sat upstairs and had a lovely evening with friends for my husbands birthday. Just wish they didn't have the 2 hour limit because we would have stayed longer. Food is small plates so price adds up but delicious!

The Fountain Inn is everything you'd want in a D.C. cocktail bar- history, location, space, quality, and service. As part of my 39th birthday celebration, my wife surprised me with dinner at Herbivore Indian followed by drinks at The Fountain Inn. Here's our experience.1) Cocktails: Their menu is large with over 250 different options from cocktails to wine to beer. Their liquor is displayed beautifully behind the bar and includes unique options like a new rum from Thailand. If you love sweet cocktails, they don't have any overly sweetened, but they do have sour. Their cocktail menu includes originals and seasonal options. To start, I ordered the Snallygaster, which comes with strawberry. For my second drink, I did "bartender's choice" and got a drink made with Thai rum, orange wine, and egg whites. Both were very refreshing, complex, and unique.For more still drinks, my wife loved her Old Fashioneds. 2) Space: Off the busy part of Georgetown, it feels more like a neighborhood space. They have a small bottom room and bar and an upstairs where they host tastings and events.The space is intimate creating a perfect date spot. The space is beautiful! 3) Service: The bartenders take pride in their craft and are very skilled. It was a delightful experience.If you love cocktails, go here! Opened in 2021, it honors a 1783 tavern with deep history once in the area.

The Fountain Inn is a delightful whiskey and cocktail bar in a quaint rowhouse in Georgetown. Their selection is expansive, their mixed drinks are delicious, and the staff is knowledgeable and kind. Certainly recommend!

As a bourbon lover, this is my kind of place. With the growing popularity of bourbon and whiskey, it isnt terribly hard to find a place that sells the stuff, but that presents a problem. Any establishment can buy a bunch of bottles, put them on a shelf and charge ridiculous prices, which is an invasive and common occurance in this area. This place is different though. The history aside, its a quaint and cool space, reminiscent of a speakeasy. All of the staff were super friendly, and were very knowledgable about the items they have. I was presented with a drink book that had a decent sized selection...but it wasnt about how many bottles they had, but what they had and their prices. Their selection/offerings were a wide spectrum of basic every day/low tier to high end/rare/very old offerings, so theres something for everyone. What makes that better is that their prices were FANTASTIC. Like, seeing their prices makes you wonder why everyone else charges so much. As an example, the Weller CYPB in the picture was $49. They also offer food but dont come here looking for a fill up because everything is small plate. I had the gnocchi and it was very good so I would recommend trying that. Last thing ill offer is that they sell bottles as well, which are barrel picks.

Charming little bar.... very men's club. Small bar with 4 or 5 stools but very friendly staff. Drinks were great but the food was mid since they were in the process of finding a new chef. Definitely worth the effort to find parking in Georgetown.

Man all I need is some Jazz playing in the background... The atmosphere was cozy. The place was very quaint and Demure very Demure.. the alcohol list was impeccable, especially the hot tottie. I will just go there just have the hot tottie. And I had one of the best salads I ever had.

A somewhat pretentious place. While drinks and ambience were good, the service was just a bit...iffy. We were sitting comfortably at the bar and our daughter came a bit later. But she couldn't join us because "this is an 18th century building, so people can't stand by the bar" (wtf?) They also impose a 22% mandatory service charge. Not sure it's worth it, despite the supposedly pre-prohibition bourbons on offer.
