The Golden Age

The vibe in this place is LOVELY! The front area has a long bar and some high tables -- I showed up with people after a meetup dinner, and everything was unfortunately full. We opted to go to the back, and SURPRISE! It's a really dope lounge area. Gives major speakeasy vibes, with the decor, dim lighting, and all!There is food, but since I had just eaten I didn't look at it at all. It may be a bit hard to see because of the lighting, but their drink menu has multiple cocktails in every spirit category. When we came in, we were initially told that we would have to go to the bar to order. But when we sat in the back, someone came to us, and delightfully answered any questions about favorite drinks, recommended recipes, etc.I didn't get to stay long at all because of another engagement, but it didn't take much time to realize how dope of a place this is. I can't wait to return in a more relaxed manner and experience more of the place.

The Golden Age is one of my new favorite spots in the city! I had always passed by when coming from my nail appointments and was excited to pop in on a Thursday evening.The ambiance is unmatched! I felt as though I was transported to the 1920s. Gorgeous lighting and attention to detail. This is a sister bar to The Mirror (downtown) and resembles a similar style menu / drinks. I could see this as a great spot to start the night before dinner.Decent prices for food and drinks. I enjoyed the Confit potatoes - very well cooked, dusted with cheese, and lots of flavor in each bite.I am very excited for my next visit!

10/10 service. I came here to celebrate my birthday with a friend and as life goes, she wasn't able to make it. The people here (and I hate forgetting the two names) made me feel special and celebrated. In all honesty, the burger was not for me. But the menu looks great, the happy hour goes late, and the drinks are good! It just feels like a place you want to hang out at for a while.

This was such a cool place!! It's a speakeasy vibe, the food (chicken kabob) was delicious and the drinks were good & strong! The bartender was nice and made me their version of a French 75 (air mail). I'll be back and definitely recommend for a late night spot.

Cute spot to go for cocktails! Dimly lit and beautifully designed. We were able to get a table for all 6 of us. It wasn't busy when we arrived, but more people came in as we were about to leave.Delicious cocktails and a nice atmosphere. They do have low alcohol and non alcoholic options too.The staff was nice and friendly. The guy checking IDs outside played rock paper scissors with us so we could get in. We lost but of course, he was kidding and still let us go in. LOL

Fits the bill for your nice interior, low lights, going-out cocktail bar. It's classy with a capital C. It should make the list of stops on your Dupont barhopping Friday night......and also great for a Tuesday evening when I went. The cocktail selection is fun to read through. What caught my eye was the low alcohol section. I ended up enjoying the Paloma. My friend and I loved the glasses our drinks came in.The food menu is a cut above other bars. The entrees sounded really good, but they also have small and shareable things like charcuterie. We sat at the end of the bar and the staff was still pretty attentive to us. We got seated right away, but the place did get busier as the Tuesday night went on. Huge points to the nice bathroom in the basement. (Mints???) Probably the only time I've Shazam-ed a song in the bathroom because I was so curious what the tune was.

The Golden Age has a speakeasy charm with a cozy, dimly lit atmosphere that's perfect for drinks and small bites. The attentive, friendly service complements the inviting vibe. The mezcal Negroni I tried was well-balanced and flavorful. Overall, it's a great spot for a relaxed drink, and I'd definitely return.

If you want a well crafted cocktail, this is your place! I tried an old fashioned and the black Manhattan! Amazing!! Perfect for a date night, solo night out or out with friends! Not only is this a cocktail bar, they have food. I wasn't hungry but the menu looks so good. I visited on a Wednesday last week after work. They're open at 5 pm and stay open late. They have happy hour! Woot!The place is aesthetically pleasing. Service was top notch. The company wasn't bad either. I highly recommend and I can't wait to visit again.

Golden Age near Dupont Circle--FANTASTIC spot! Great burger, excellent cheese board. Truly HUUGE flavors. They're doing things right here, folks. Highly recommend!

I love this place and can't get over how it's still one of DC's best kept secrets.The space is as cozy as can be and is the perfect hideaway, especially as the cold weather rolls in. The lounge and bar is adorned with candles and there is a comfortable mix of bar and table seating. It's a great place to have intimate conversations and enjoy a fantastic, craft cocktail. The team they have in place behind the bar are total professionals but they're all also incredibly personable and cool.Another perk is that they serve food and they do so pretty late into the evening. I've typically just enjoyed light bites like the shrimp cocktail and lamb kebobs, but they also have hearty entrees (one of my friends always orders the burger and loves it!)This place is just all around solid and enjoyable. Looking forward to the word getting out more, because it's definitely a place to keep high on the radar!
