Had a great birthday celebration here! Really loved the warm and cozy vibe, and the upstairs area was the perfect space for our group. Plus, the holiday cocktail menu was a hit with all my friends. Will definitely be back - thank you to Rhine and our lovely server for being so friendly and accommodating! (Note: I left the rating for food blank since they weren't serving a full menu on Sunday night, but they were kind enough to make some great charcuterie boards for our group)

Came for drinks after a show at the Capital One arena after passing every packed bar in the area. Had a wonderful experience!! The drinks and staff were absolutely phenomenal! The bar manager was VERY kind and chatted with us over an experimental cocktail which was VERY delicious. Vibe is lovely all around I would highly recommend.

The bartenders are adept at creating personalized drinks tailored to individual preferences, ensuring a unique experience for each guest. The ambiance is both elegant and inviting, making it an ideal venue for various occasions, from casual gatherings to special celebrations. The staff is attentive and friendly, contributing to a pleasant and enjoyable visit. For those seeking a memorable cocktail experience in Washington, DC, Morris American Bar is a must-visit destination that consistently delivers quality and creativity.

As a cocktail enthusiast, I’ve sampled 90 cocktail bars in the DC area - Morris is undoubtedly one of the best, if not THE best, cocktail spot in DC. Fairly priced, cozy decor, and creative, spirit-forward, divine cocktails - but what truly sets them apart is their incredible personnel. Rhine and Rita are not only mixology experts who can craft a perfect cocktail to your specific likes, they are exceedingly professional and courteous and always make the experience at Morris feel special. We love this place and continue to come back for them - thank you Rhine and Rita, for always making our time at Morris so wonderful!

Came here for a midweek happy hour and the drinks were fantastic. They were flavorful and strong. The place is cozy and perfect for a small gathering or a date. The bartenders were very kind and the service was prompt. They take their time with the drinks because they come out looking amazing. Perfect for those Instagram posts. Also, this may be a weird observation, but the bathrooms were so incredibly clean! To me that says a lot about any establishment. The bar is close to great restaurant options so you should definitely stop by here for a pre or post dinner drink.

Morris is without a doubt an absolute gem of a cocktail bar and my personal favorite. The bartenders are not only inventive but also thoroughly well-versed in classics and contemporary drinks. You can tell the whole team is proud of their bar, and it really shows. The seasonal menu is their own impressive creation, but make no mistake, they gladly take requests and offer new suggestions. Inside is a time capsule of a classic bar. The colors, decor, lighting, music – it is the perfect place for relaxing drinks. Outside is shaded and casual, exactly what you want for a group of friends. Other bars even the often lauded “Bests in DC” have fallen short of what Morris is consistently doing here in terms of quality, knowledge, skill, and service. You get way more than what you pay for here. As amazing as it all is, it is not at all stuffy. Everybody is friendly, easygoing, and enjoys what they are doing. This review is long overdue and could not be more well deserved. Morris often surprises, never disappoints, and after all their extra hard work during the pandemic, I cannot wait to sit at the actual bar again. Until then, cheers!

Morris American Bar isn't what you expect. It's literally inside the sterile looking Convention Center so it's easy to miss the door when walking by. However, once inside it's anything but boring. It's the perfect little cocktail bar. They have several rooms for dining and a long bar for those of us wanting a drink. It's a very casual classy place with beautiful wallpaper giving it Gatsby style (you know, from the book The Great Gatsby). The bartenders are friendly and know what they are doing. In addition to wine, beer, and cider, they have a great seasonal cocktail menu that often changes. Each drink is 12 (not bad for a quality drink in DC) and it's 2 off until 7pm for happy hour. I went with the bartender's choice and had an excellent drink. If you want a classy chill happy hour spot with beautiful atmosphere, head to Morris American Bar. It's in Mt Vernon Square so there are plenty of other excellent dinner spots to go to afterwards (I recommend the Kinship!).

Popped in for a cocktail with my wife. She had a Mexican Firing Squad and I, feeling a little adventurous, chose bartenders choice. I specified tequila as my liquor and the server inquired if I'm someone who likes sweet and refreshing or strong and slow drinking. I asked for somewhere in between but less sweet. I was presented with the very best tequila cocktail I've ever had and I'm an old(ish) fart with a lot of experience with tequila. I had 2. My wife very much enjoyed her cocktail as well. Service was great, atmosphere was great and the drinks were spot on. We'll be back.
