Overall experience was well worth the price. The flavors of the drinks were complex but tasteful. Jeff was our server and he was super knowledgeable about all the various flavors. He was enthusiastic and super accommodating when there was a flavor that I wasn’t a fan of. Michael the manager on staff was amazing and checked in to ensure we were enjoying our experience at periodic points throughout the night. Overall worth it.

What an enjoyable experience! From arriving to leaving 6 cocktails in a couple hours later, this place delivered a high end yet comfortable top notch experience. Each cocktail represents a different José Andrés restaurant in DC. The price was $150/person to make the reservation for 6 different drinks. Though the drinks were smaller than a usual cocktail in size, they were full in flavor, balance and presentation. Our server did a wonderful job making us feel comfortable, and giving us information on what they were serving to us next.

A lovely evening! We came for the cocktail flight & ordered some bites to help with the alcohol consumption. I don’t want to spoil it by going through all the tiny details of our evening but know that the staff is professional & friendly, the cocktails are wonderfully curated, there’s bites if you get hungry & all in all a great evening to unwind & enjoy oneself!

If you’re a fan of spectacularly cool cocktails or just culinary chemistry in general, this place is a Must Visit. We came in for the Winter In Japan themed drink menu and it was as amazing to watch them prepare as it was delicious to drink.

Had a great experience with some friends at Barmini. There’s no doubt the staff is professional and the atmosphere is sheik. This isn’t a watering hole, it’s a high-end experience. It’s almost counter Jose Andres…

Barmini is the best cocktail experience you’ll find in Washington, DC, and provides a unique glimpse into the coveted Minibar. The drinks are creative, delicious, balanced and memorable. The staff is hyper attentive, welcoming and thoughtful. We celebrated a birthday and Barmini made it feel extra special. Thank you for an incredible night! First, there was plenty of room. Barmini does not cheap out on luxury and space. They could’ve easily stuffed the place with ten more people; however, they managed to create an exclusive and private experience by limiting the number of guests. Second, the drinks were amazing! We conveyed our distaste for one drink and the staff expediently offered a much better cocktail. Except the one cocktail, each drink was a story – filled with nuance and unique flavors. Third, the bartenders and servers are true professionals. We absolutely loved Gina! She was charismatic, masterfully graceful, and fiercely knowledgeable. Who knew that our bartender completed culinary school! I forget the name of our main server, but he, too, was incredible. Lastly, the food was beyond this world! The grilled cheese, beef tartare, and philly waffle will remain some of the best food I’ve ever tasted. Bravo to the team!

The indoor decor gave me science lab vibes – a place where one can experiment on perfecting a cocktail. The service was top notch, with the presentation and making sure that we enjoyed the drinks. We had signed up for their cocktail flight experience, so they sent over 5 cocktails, all with a Japanese inspiration to them. There was one that was a bit more liquor forward with Japanese whiskey that i wasn’t a fan of (mainly because i can’t drink whiskey), and the staff was kind enough to switch it out for me.

What a great experience! I was worried that I wouldn’t like the drinks… But I was wrong. They were all fantastic… And beautiful! My friend didn’t like one and they replaced it with something she loved. This was worth the cost easily. The food was excellent as well. We had the grilled cheese, sirloin waffle and bourbon banana dessert. All were perfect paired with our drinks. The service was informative without being intrusive.
