L'Annexe

We came pretty early and didn't need a reservation, but it filled up quickly after so I do recommend making a reservation. We had such a fantastic time at this spot on a Friday night! I really appreciated the hospitality, care and knowledge of the staff. Our bartender was Dylan and he really went above and beyond to share knowledge and expertise on the Amaros I wanted to try. Plus all the cocktails we had were exquisite. Amazing atmosphere and energy and kind staff.

Visited on a Sunday afternoon to try the craft cocktails and small bites. We were seated in the front bar area near the window which was open and nice with lots of table space for a group. The service was great - Connor was great and was very knowledgeable about the menu providing us with drink recommendations and food recommendations of some of the restaurant favorites. I truly enjoyed the shrimp ceviche and goat cheese lollipops. We also had the burrata flatbread slices which was a little tough in texture to eat and had an overly healthy amount of toppings which was a little messy to eat. This is a craft cocktail bar so the drinks are very thoughtful and have interesting flavors. I tried the Beach Blanket - blueberry macerated rum yellow Chartreuse allspice and cinnamon and nutmeg. It is smoked with a cinnamon stick and was full and sweet. The team was prompt in clearing the table and bringing dishes as well as checking in on our table. I would love to visit in the evening to experience the interior seating and more of the cocktail menu. There is street parking and nearby paid deck parking $$

L'Annexe is the perfect cocktail bar for a relaxed, mature, and sexy ambiance. The dim lights, small space, give the bar a nice intimate feel. It's in Georgetown, which makes it even better. I came here a few nights ago for the first during girls' night, and my friend and I truly enjoyed ourselves! The Korean BBQ tacos were a complete surprise of how delicious they were. The kimchi was my favorite touch to it!! It's a MUST to order and try. Bartender, JP suggested the Mule Cocktail that I can not remember the exact name. (It was a bit too sweet for my personal taste, but my friend enjoyed every sip! 🥰) I exchanged for the Queen of the South. And I must say, whoever created that cocktail know their drinks because I'm a Florida gal, and that drink was PERFECTO for me👌🏾. The bartenders, Jay and Chris, were also a pleasure to speak to, and all of the genuine service from everyone made it even better. I'm very critical of service because it seems to he a lost art in the restaurant industry, but here, the team stayed true to it. They are also an actual restaurant, so look into the full menu. It's worth adding to your list, especially visiting DC. Thank you, L'Annexe, for being amazing!!! Until next time. 💚
