The Wells DC

The Wells, a gin bar on Capitol Hill was a dope experience.  I call it an experience because it's super exclusive.  They are currently only open on Wednesdays and Thursdays. They open reservations for the upcoming month towards the end of the month which are usually booked up quickly.  August reservations are open NOW! They require a $15 per person deposit, but this goes towards your bill.  

Our reservations were a few nights ago.  I received a text about 15 minutes before my reservation to text back when I arrive to the green door.  There is an inconspicuous green door nestled between The Duck & the Peach and La Collina which are sister restaurants of The Wells. The hostess met us outside and showed us to our table.  After seating us, the hostess locked the door behind us which definitely made me feel like I was in a speak easy.

The bar is immaculately decorated but also super chill and laid back.  The service was great.  Our waitress was attentive.  The gin craft cocktails were all amazing.  I'm not usually a gin fan, but I enjoyed the Patio and the Bee's Knees.

I highly recommend for a date night or girls night.
