"It’s my second time here. I can solo without a reservation and sat the bar. I always recommend this place to anyone in dc who wants a well balanced drink and fun experience. I got the illicio (gin cocktail) the bartender, Ori even offered to smoke it for the photos. The drink was refreshing and tasted like blueberry muffin. I got the Nero’s revenge since I love mezcal and it was tart with the lemon but balanced sweetness. Lastly I got the orbis (bourbon) drink that was the sweetness cocktail but boozy. I did get a small bite, the meatballs. Very filling and tasty - no notes."

"Love love love this place. A new favorite. We ordered off of the happy hour and couldn’t be more pleased. Good service and good food. The restaurant is such a cool vibe. We took a peek at the wine bar upstairs…and I can’t wait to come back to indulge in the self service wine bar. We went downstairs to the speakeasy…..obsessed. We got two cocktails that were delicious."

"It's Mr Speakeasy at another Speakeasy. Nero is a nice, relaxing bar that deals with specialty drinks, wine and more. Bridget, ori, crystal and ashley was fantastic. Definitely made the experience fun. Did I mention the drinks were fantastic?"

"This review is for Sabina, the speakeasy underneath Nero. Coming in was pretty cool, the door looks like a continuation of the brick wall. Once inside, the venue is intimate, quaint, and dark with loud club music playing. The staff was friendly enough and interestingly dressed… we appeared to be in a swinger’s club based on everything we had seen and experienced thus far. Their cocktail list was rather small and they also didn’t seem to have much in stock in the way of rum or other items we sought. Very few of the cocktails listed appealed to me, so I chose one on a whim and it was so sickly sweet that I actually felt sick after drinking it. We ultimately just were one-and-done here and headed out. The vibe was great, but that was about it."

"Great experience! Rented out the top floor for a birthday back in December. Vik and all of the staff were extremely helpful and kind. Was a great deal for a large group and people loved the pour your own wine set up. Really nice atmosphere and cocktails were all incredible too. 10/10 would recommend for anyone hosting a party or to swing by for a drink. I’ll have to come back to checkout the speakeasy soon."
