I am not a bourbon drinker. I’ve tried it but it’s just not my thing. I’m not a fan of dark alcohol. But I am a fan of Bourbon, the restaurant in Adams Morgan. Wow!
- Food: While Bourbon is a bar, the food is upscale bar food. I ordered the grilled chicken and it was delicious. The bourbon sauce on the sandwich was a perfect combination of tangy and sweet. The baked beans had a little too much sugar for my taste, but it was good. We ordered onion rings which were perfectly fried crispy. The seasoning was interesting — it wasn’t as mixed throughout the onion rings as much as it should have been so there were some bites that had a little kick while others were a bit bland. My friend ordered the veggie burger which wasn’t frozen, but a handmade veggie paddy.
- Service: Our server was nice and quick with the ice tea refills.
- Atmosphere: They have an outdoor deck in the back and an upstairs dining/bar area. But we stayed downstairs at the bar. I loved the casual atmosphere. And while we were there on a Sunday morning, there was no smell of the previous night and it was very clean. So yes, you can definitely take your parents here!
- Attire: Casual
- Price: $$
- Overall: While my expectations may have been a bit low, I really enjoyed their food and would gladly go back for dinner and brunch. Plus, for anyone who is a serious bourbon drinker, they’ll love it!
