"We went here for the whiskey selection but loved everything about the place. We started with the chicken skins and they were so good! I could have just ate those all night and been happy. My husband got the Asian whiskey flight and the waitress brings the bottles for you to see with the drams and gives a short explanation (much better than a lot of wineries/distilleries we visit). I ordered the Desert Flower cocktail which was just amazing! For dinner, I had the pasta dish and my husband ordered the pork chop. The pasta was delicious but the pork chop was out of this world! My husband also talked to the waitress about what he likes in a whiskey and put in some specific requests and a price point and she hit the mark with the one she brought back for him. We were just overall very pleased with our experience and will definitely return when we visit DC."

"This isn’t just another overpriced New American restaurant! I didn’t come for the whisky selection per se, but the seasonal cocktail I got was one of my favorite cocktails ever. It was a pumpkin infused whisky drink that was incredibly spirit forward and not too sweet in any way. I also got one of the single barrel cocktails. The deviled eggs, tartare, and Mac and cheese balls were all wonderful appetizers. I got the pork chop as my main which might have been my favorite pork chop ever. My two friends really enjoyed their crab cakes, although they are small so maybe don’t order if you’re very hungry. The flash fried Brussels were great too!! Katie and Michael were both fantastic servers!"

"A must for whisk(e)y lovers visiting DC. This is the Library of Congress for whisky. Exceptional selection and friendly staff make this a fun place to try out new drams. We found a table on a Thursday evening! You can spend as much as you want here because they have it all, including normally unobtainable whiskies that aren't widely available as bottles. (Over two visits we tried Springbank Amontillado Cask & Local Barley, Cadenheads Campbeltown Enigma, plus Dailuane and Ledaig Independent Bottlings.) But you can enjoy without breaking the bank by looking at their $10 drams. The bartenders have good knowledge of their library - set your price and state your preference for a recommendation or check out their zillion-page menu, which includes scotch, bourbon, rye, and world whisk(e)y from Ireland, Wales, England, India, and the USA. SMWS (Scotch Malt Whisky Society) members will find a selecting of their bottlings here. Don't be put off by the offer of ice, you can get a water dropper but you have to ask. More in the way of education could be offered here. It might require more staff but it might be fun for many patrons to have a built-in learning experience (maybe online guides to types, regions, and flavors)."

"I LOVE a whiskey bar vibe! I had really high hopes for this place - a pdf of 82 pages detailing all their whiskey??? Yes please!! We're my expectations too high? Maybe. My drink was good - an interesting experience but not something I'd ever order again. But the biggest reason I'm rating low was the noise! It was so loud in there! Not quite the whiskey bar vibes I was expecting when this place was recommended."

"If you love whiskey, you have to go to Jack Rose when you're in DC. Amazing selection, and beautiful bar! I had to try the house single barrel flight, and it was delicious. The bartender was very friendly and informative at first so I was very surprised when the bartender didn't ask me what I thought, or even which one I liked better. Highly recommend, will return"
