Jack Rose Dining Saloon

A nice bar with a nice environment, delicious whiskey, and a large entrance, so it's very easy to find. There are many waiters and the service is relatively timely. Overall, I am very satisfied with the hotel.

Good atmosphere - the second floor bar area has a retractable roof which is great when the weather cooperates. The food is good, though not cheap. Weekends are always crowded, so weeknights are your best bet. The bartenders are helpful in suggesting specific whiskeys (Scotch whiskey (specialist) or other than Scotch, ie: made from rye, bourbon, etc.) and other types of adult beverages.

OMG! If you love whiskey or want to experience something special, spend an evening at Jack Rose. It has the largest whiskey collection in the country - correct me if I'm wrong. While some can be and are very expensive, it's a must to have at least one drink. The friendly and welcoming staff makes you feel very relaxed. I know The Saloon has other rooms but I only ate/drank in the bar. Upon entering The Saloon, my date and I were immediately transported to a whiskey wonderland! Bottles upon bottles! It was jaw-dropping. They started our entertainment with the Crispy Salmon Skin Squash. I didn't want to drink whiskey but asked them to give me something special so my first two cocktails were not listed - if they were, I couldn't find it on the menu. I do know there was one called Mother in Law which was amazing! We tried many of their small plates and all of them were devoured within minutes of receiving them! The bone marrow, oysters, scotch eggs, and combos were all delicious and tasty. A friend in the restaurant was celebrating his birthday so we had a night of whiskey tasting. Pictures are attached of the four samplers. Everything was delicious served in their own ceremony. I can't wait to go back. It's pricey but worth every penny. Plus, share a drink with friends during a happy hour and split the chicken skin. It won't break the bank and you'll leave on Cloud 9. Enjoy!

My husband is a whiskey lover and was recommended this place by his brother during our trip to DC in September 2017. It was me, my husband, our 19 month old son and a couple of my husband's friends when we visited this establishment. I was delighted with their service as they accommodated us (exhausted parents who had been walking around all day with a bulky stroller and a wayward baby) very well. My family went to The Saloon first and ordered everything they had on small plates: steak tartare, pumpkin ravioli, grilled pork belly, seared scallops and a lobster roll. Everything on the small plates was priced between $15-20 and was quickly served and artfully decorated. Every plate looked delicious and tasty. As for the whiskey. Let's face it, this place has one of the most extensive whiskeys that would delight the average whiskey connoisseur. My husband ordered a few different whiskeys - poured in whatever size (ounces) you like, in whatever glass you prefer, and with a small sipper bottle with water to add, or not, your whiskey. You can tell he's a happy guy. If you're a whiskey fanatic, this is the place for you! Overall, the atmosphere was just right. The service (especially the whisky expert) was helpful and friendly. The whisky was excellent. The food was delicious and tasty. What else could I add?

This restaurant has a unique menu and the meals are excellent. Recommend the chicken liver & onion appetizer and the pork chop for entree. Order biscuits with your meal and they are made to order and brought still hot. If you like a good bourbon or whiskey you can choose from over 2000 bottles on the wall. Finish with a burnt cream ice cream or bourbon ball on the spot. One of the best meals I had in DC.
