Washington PostAugust 1, 2014An enormous whiskey-focused bar and restaurant from the owners of Bourbon, Jack Rose features an expansive rooftop deck and a dining room/bar offering more than 700 kinds of Scotch and bourbon. Read more
EaterApril 25, 2013This bar from the folks behind Bourbon garnered a lot of attention from people who like to drink on rooftops before it was even open. There's a selection of tiki cocktails available up on the deck.
Bitches Who BrunchMay 5, 2016The tiki terrace is a hidden gem upstairs. Thursdays have half-priced happy hour from 5-9 with fun drinks like the Coco Face and Navy Grog. Make sure you try the fried chicken skins! Read more
Richard BApril 29, 2017Largest whiskey selection in the Western Hemisphere. Great flights, expert bartenders, rooftop upstairs and even a cigar selection. A new favorite.
The vaulted library of whiskey is unprecedented. The upstairs bar/patio is a great place for a cigar and a glass of red wine. Giant fans keep the space well-ventilated, but they are murder on my hair.
Derek GaskinsJuly 6, 2018Bourbon and scotch whiskey selections are second to none. Good food and ambience. Can smoke cigars upstairs under the stars too.
AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014Aside from the main bar, it features a Whiskey Cellar, Prohibition Bar, and open air roof terrace to enjoy drinks and cigars while witnessing the revelry on 18th Street. Read more
Jacqueline SantosJanuary 15, 2014Very much a gentlemen's bar with every kind of whiskey you can probably imagine. And they have cigars for their rooftop. The food was equally as amazing!!
Katie RunyanDecember 28, 2016Always solid cocktail options, plus all the whiskey you'd ever like to try! Downstairs bar is gorgeous, but if its crowded, you can usually find a spot upstairs.
Date Night Is...April 24, 2013Date Night is a whisky tasting at Jack Rose. Don't worry if you're not a whisky connoisseur, just ask their knowledgeable staff for a recco. They'll hone your palette in no time.
Patricia YangNovember 26, 2016This place is a whiskey library! If you are looking for a rare bottle, this is probably your best chance to find it, and taste it!- AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014Located on the edge of the Adams-Morgan neighborhood, this saloon features library-style shelves of over 1,400 varieties of whiskey from floor to ceiling. Read more
ElizabethDecember 2, 2015Probably DCs best whisky/bourbon bar and hidden secret. Worth a flight from Miami just to have the amazing selection they offer
Saman HosseiniMarch 10, 2013love hot toddies/cider upstairs. exquisite cocktails down stairs. deuchy crowd at times but not so bad as Georgetown, and atleast full of people who objectively appreciate quality drinks/atmosphere.
TV Food MapsApril 26, 2015Check out Jack Rose Dining Saloon as it was featured on Best Bars in America for Over 1800 whiskeys to choose from. Largest whiskey collection in North America Read more
David PrlJuly 7, 2014Awesome bar. Impressive whisky walls. No dancing, but great music. A very good place to sit down for a drink in AdMo
Ask for Rachael (scotch sommelier). She is amazing and will give you the best flight of scotch. Girl knows her stuff! Also, the Korean fried chicken wings are delish.
Every liquor imaginable. With bartenders who really know their stuff. And a creative food menu as well. Venison was superb.- Danielle DaSilvaJuly 12, 2018One of the largest whiskey collections in the country. Fried chicken skins and an old fashioned can't be beat.
- TrevorDecember 4, 2015A huge selection of whiskey but there's little in the way of helpful flights, and you can't count on the staff's recommendations. If busy, avoid the noisy semi-outdoor sports bar upstairs.
- Leigh FerreiraApril 25, 2012Largest scotch selection in the US. Many bottles you can no longer get that are part of Harvey Fry's personal collection. Ask to meet him if he is there. Quite a character!
MaxDecember 4, 2015This place serves 2.640 different whiskeys - the continent's largest selection. Bottles shelved like in a library. Enjoy!
Bill NagleNovember 13, 2015Some of the barkeeps are super knowledgeable. Explore. Ask them for options and insights based on what you know you like.
AddisonDecember 15, 2012Go upstairs, to the semi-private room. Not only does he make a spectacular beverage, but Dom also knows how to light my fire
- Ron WillisJune 8, 2014Best Bourbon Wiskey and Scotch selection I've seen in one spot. Try the Bulleit Bourbon age 10 years. Jesus it's good
Gabriel HayesAugust 11, 2015Best bar for Whiskey in DC. One of the best whiskey bars I have ever been too.
Beware: the Dark and Stormy is not the traditional kind (but still delicious!). Check out the small bar at the back end of the rooftop. Or look for Mike and ask for one of his specialties.
Cyril S.July 5, 2015Rooftop at the top, great to have some drinks during summer. A little bit expensive though (9$/shot)
SallySeptember 9, 2014Amazing whiskey/bourbon/scotch collection!! Loved this place. Make sure to make a reservation!
Jonathan ChaiMay 1, 2017Truly epic whiskey and beer list, including rare vintage/cellar reserve beers! Knowledgable staff.
Always a good bet. Rooftop is incredible but can get a little chilly in cooler months, as one would expect.
Paige AnneNovember 24, 2015Great rooftop and whiskey selection. Be sure to spend an evening in the basement!
Jim CMarch 20, 2013Well, the choices of scotch are limitless! Priced for the upper class but limitless choices and a great atmosphere.
The TelegraphMarch 12, 201310pm: Hail a taxi to DC’s diverse Adams Morgan neighbourhood for a drink at the Jack Rose Dining Saloon (18th Street; 001 202 588 7388).
Mert DikmenMay 12, 2013I made the pilgrimage to this Scotch Mecca, and His Highness Fry graced me with his knowledge and whisky stories.
Ricky SherrillJuly 30, 2015The best bourbon selection in DC. If you have a favorite odd are they have it.......just ask.
Cait WeingartnerApril 16, 2013Awesome atmosphere and great bar staff. Very dude-filled scene but what do you expect for a whiskey bar?
Cream of mussel soup and stuffed squid are awesome. Oh, and then there's the bourbon. So much bourbon, so little time!
Megan WillettDecember 31, 2016A little pricey but you absolutely get what you pay for! Slow service but delicious cocktails!
Paul CunninghamDecember 13, 2014Very good food. Incredible whiskey collection. Very knowledgeable wait staff.
Susie ColeDecember 29, 2012Take full advantage of the whiskey advisors, they know what they're talking about!! Great food, service & atmosphere
