Incredible, artisan cocktails in an intimate space . It’s an upscale setting that requires a bit of decorum—a perfect experience for a special evening for any sort of pair. Rezzies are hard to get. Read more
Exquisite cocktails . Fantastic bar team. The service is excellent, and Jose Andres has maintained the same level of craftsmanship as the adjacent minibar. Come for at least a flight. We’ll be back.
Bill Addison was "hooked by a dish called 'Ibérico tendon ,' where noodles fashioned from Ibérico ham consommé and Japanse kuzu root mimicked the translucent chewiness of beef ligament."
Favorite bar in the world! Love the taste, presentation, and scent of their drinks! Try their banana whiskey drink and aviation
A parade of delightful deliciousness - amazing vibe on a Thursday - and we just got here and had our second course. Reserve ahead - very select crowd.
Great cocktails and finger food in a swanky but comfortable lounge . Get the cocktail flight - excellent!
It is hard to go wrong here. Buffalo chicken skin was great. Lobster roll , banh mi & grilled cheese on point. Every cocktail delicious and great service!
Get the drink pairings. It's practically a steal. Also, the razor clam and the beans were two of the best things I have ever put in my face.
Amazing drinks, knowledgable bartenders , and great service. Get the lobster roll - hands down most amazing thing. Oysters and grilled cheese are on point.
Outstanding all around. Do the cocktail flight and get some snacks .
Very fancy , definitely lived up to expectations. Mocktails were surprisingly insanely wonderful, and the "snacks " were like art .
Maybe the best cocktail bar I’ve ever been to. Skip the flight and order all the cool drinks you want
Excellent, creative cocktails in a bright , modern space with excellent service make Barmini worthy of a special occasion .
The tiki menu (available for a limited time in early summer) is insane! We love the Mohan's Mistress. Read more
Try the foie Gras waffle and grilled cheese next time. Bahmi slider was ok. Liked uni panini and chimichirrones. Sparkling water costs $7! Excellent drinks

Terrific hidden gem . Not many places serving cocktails like this

Tasting is the best way to go for a first timer! Great experience.
Get the flight. Absolutely get the flight. 10/10.
When was the last time you picked up a mezcal-spiked cocktail and ate it like a snowball? José Andrés’s 27-course menu kicks off with just that and follows up with other mind-bending surprises.
What's not to like? Get your crazy cocktails with liquid nitrogen . You're worth it.
The restaurant address is incorrect. It is on The corner of E Street NW and 9th St. And, Daniel the maitre d is great! ;)
One of the best dinners I’ve ever had
The Gardner a gin and egg white cocktail and the olives
Excellent cocktails and incredible bar bites . Get the Buffalo chicken skins .
The 28 course meal has a bunch of really fantastic dishes. In the end, our check was expensive (expected) and I didn't really dig the ultra-structured nature of the meal.
Holy mother of everything. This meal was fantastic and completely worth it.
For those that like Whiskey and a bit of theatrics: try the highlander.
The drinks are a wonderful experience
BarMini has its own separate drink and snack menu . Passion fruit kisses are yummy!
