"This unassuming place was surprisingly sophisticated and delicious, with top notch service. A lot of thought went into the presentation and preparation of each cocktail. Of the 5 we tried, each one was unique and tasty. I recommend them all, the hummingbird, African penguin, flying squirrel, golden pheasant and the Kumamoto manhattan. The deviled egg appetizer was tasty, but I definitely recommend trying the chicken. We had the chicken tenders and a chicken sandwich and can’t wait to go back for more. This place had some comfy bench seating but the bar stool seats were not the most comfortable. But don’t let that stop you from going, it still get 5 stars from me and we will be back!"

"If you are looking for a place that treats flavor like a complex puzzle, Service Bar is the answer. They avoid the common trap of just mixing two sugary red liquids with a shot of well liquor and calling it a day. Instead, they source about eight exotic ingredients from across the globe, blending them into a drink that is remarkably smooth and genuinely memorable. It is the kind of balance that makes you realize what you have been missing at every other standard bar in the city. Make sure to go when J is conjuring magic."

"Really enjoyed having dinner here the other night. It was competitive to get a table, but we were able to because we walked up right when the doors open. The fried chicken was some of the better chicken I’ve had in DC, perfect crunch, not dry. (I had it spicy and the spice level was ideal - heat without losing flavor). If you want to treat yourself get a glass of champagne with it. I took advantage of a happy hour pisco punch (solid pisco and a good HH deal at $9 I believe), and then I tried one of the gorgeous bird inspired cocktails, the Kiwi, coming in at a cool $19. Worth it at least once for the presentation, which over performed, and for the cocktail itself that had a unique flavor profile without being overly strong or distracting. Really enjoyed it and will be back at some point."

"I almost don’t want to write this because I’d love to keep this place a secret. Service Bar is that good. The drinks are adventurous but always delicious, the food outshines most restaurants in DC, and the simplicity of it all somehow makes it even better. Yes, it’s a loud, lively bar with limited seating—but the energy is unmatched and the playlist doesn’t miss. We really enjoyed yourselves!"

"I think the server was having a bad day or had other personal things going on because they were pretty short and were not too helpful when we had questions. The establishment, however, probably had the best chicken tenders I've ever tasted with house made ranch, honey mustard, a Chipotle like sauce, BBQ, and a buffalo sauce. The drinks were pretty decent, but mines had too much ice. The atmosphere was fine and it did the job! I'll definitely be back to give the service another try but also to try out some of their other menu items."
