I truly love this place. The ambiance is delightful, and the customer service is consistently excellent. The food and drinks are always of high quality. The atmosphere is welcoming and elegant, making it the perfect spot for any occasion, whether it's a casual dinner or a special celebration. The staff is attentive and courteous, always ensuring that every visit is a pleasant experience. Whenever I have a negative experience at other American restaurants, I return to Jack Rose to recover from the disappointment. This establishment has become my go-to place for its reliable excellence and warm, inviting environment!

Great rooftop. Great whiskey selection. Happy hour on Saturdays until 7:30pm with half off bites. The chicken skins, deviled eggs, and calamari were good. Service you grabbed at the bar was fine.

If you are a whiskey lover, this is by far the best whiskey bar in DC. They have an absolutely amazing selection of whiskeys and for reasonable prices (relative to the cost of the bottles). My husband and I love scotch and Jack Rose has one of the best collections I've ever seen, second only to what the Islay distilleries had when we visited. We have been on a Campbeltown kick recently, which is extremely difficult to find in DC, and they had a good selection from both Springbank and Glen Scotia. AND it wasn't super marked up, as one would expect given how scarce these bottles are. When you order a dram, they bring you the bottle, pour a dram, and then leave the bottle on the table so you can read the labels. We didn't get the food, although I did a few years ago and from what I can remember, it was just average. They also have a rooftop that is really nice when the weather is nice, but the whiskey menu there is much more limited.

Highly recommend hosting an event at Jack Rose. Rooms have a food and drink minimum that are easily attainable, beautiful spaces, custom menus for your event and the food was amazing. We had the balcony space but would have loved the tiki bar in the back if our group had not grown. For custom menu you can choose signature cocktails or combos (we combined Manor Hill Pilsner w/ Ardbeg Wee Beastie) Brittney, tbe point of contact for events, was AWESOME! Kind, communicative, and went out of her way to make it a great night for the whole party. For the food we chose passed apps including Mac and cheese bites, hushpuppies, chicken sliders, BBQ meatballs, and veggie kabobs. Then a dessert table with lil pies that were a hit. To have a designated server for the apps and a designated bartender in our private space I feel like it was a great deal. Thanks for the amazing experience!!

I Went here for a birthday and was pleasantly surprised. They food menu was very limited so that's the only downer. The drinks were great. The drinks were flying from behind the counter, service was friendly. I'd check this place out if ever in the Adams Morgan area.

There is not too much to say about this landmark, but JUST DO IT! This is a quiet and beautiful whiskey bar with stellar service. We only sat at the bar inside, but I would recommend trying their upstairs and visit during their happy hour. We observed many other patrons enjoying food and meals. It's also located nearby many good Adams Morgan restaurants.

I absolutely loved this bar. It wasn't just the fact they had an obscene number of whiskies, it was how the visit transformed my attitude towards peated scotch, which I wasn't a fan of before this visit. The bartender who served me asked what I wanted and I gave him what I thought was a near impossible task: I told him I wanted to appreciate peated scotch, but I didn't have a history of of liking it. He suggested I get an exploration flight and he asked me what I liked: Spicy Ryes. He smiled, came back with three bottles and took me to school - turns out I like peat when supported by a rounded sweetness - like the kind that can be provided by resting in a sherry cask. I left a better person. Thank you!

I stopped by yesterday night with some friends for dinner. We were drawn as one of us is a big whiskey fan. The second we walked in the restaurant we were all impressed- it's a beautiful, cool, sophisticated place and the walls lined with bottles are very impressive. We all loved watching the bartenders slide the ladders around and climb up to the ceiling to get specific bottles. It was a quieter night, but the service was fast and our server was very nice and knowledgeable. Our whiskey loving friend got the house cocktail, a Jack Rose, which was dangerously good. We ordered a variety of dishes, from burgers to the ham and biscuits to a beet salad. The food was fancy and very delicious, but still a good deal for the price. I would love to come back and spend time upstairs, or splash out and take the time to order a tasting flight. Overall we all enjoyed our time at Jack Rose!

While I've been here a few times on their rooftop bar, I finally got to experience some of their vintage bourbon & whiskey on the main floor. ~ 3000 bottles of whiskey to choose from, which actually has the largest selection on the western hemisphere. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and made the experience 100 times better - gave us curated recommendations based off our pallet. Definitely worth going for special occasions - wish they still had a cigar area though.

I recently visited Jack Rose for a birthday dinner and was blown away by how large the whiskey selection was. FOOD (5/5): I ordered one of the signature cocktails Adonia and a Bison Burger. Adonia was a very good cocktail. The Ardbeg 10yr and baked apple bitters in the drink added some smokiness and fruitiness to the drink and with how it tasted of a hint of cinnamon, I'd say this drink is perfect for the fall and for anyone who'd appreciate a sweet whiskey cocktail. As for the Bison Burger, it was also very good. It packed a bit of a kick from the pickled fresno chiles and was served with a lot of fries. Overall, it was a solid burger. SERVICE (5/5): The waiter was extremely knowledgeable and was able to offer recommendations when asked questions about certain selections of alcohol. The wait staff was very quick to take away finished plates and fill up our glasses of water. AMBIANCE (5/5): Walking into Jack Rose is like walking into a dimly-lit library without the books. Much of the walls near floor to ceiling are lined up with all sorts of whiskey. There was sliding ladder situated behind the bar adding to the aesthetic of the restaurant.
