Reviews for Residents Cafe & Bar in 1306 18th St NW, WA
Beautiful place, good drink selection, food is okay for munching, reasonable prices (for DC), and great atmosphere to hang out.... We sat inside, but there was a big space outside as well. Fun fact, the bathrooms use a ~$80 candle to keep the space smellingnice. Pics taken at closing, otherwise it was packed and they don't allow people to stand which keeps the space notstuffy/crowded.

Absolutely delicious and super fun menu! Loved everything we ate/drank. Giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because they threatened... to charge us $25/person for our two friends who had to cancel because they were sick. Didn’t end up charging us but it reallyshifted our moods the whole meal! Not cool :( Read more
We came for a last minute dinner and drinks with a group of 5 and luckily Residents had an open table available for us to... reserve that night. The ambiance is gorgeous! Interior is well decorated and even the outdoor patio seating is filled withplants and cool decor. We split the $60 bottled cocktail and decided to get passion punch. It gave all 5 of us 2 drinks each which basically came to $6 per drink so a pretty good deal. However for our food, it came out to be much pricier than Ithought. I ordered the mini gyros and fries, both listed as appetizers on the menu, but ended up being pricier than I thought.Although it was good I found the portions to be small. It's definitely a fun vibe and great to come with friends, but it seemsmore suited for happy hour than dinner. Read more
Wow, wow, wow! If you are looking for a “WOW” factor, this is your place. This place is beautifully decorated and popular.... So if you are with group of friends or you are on a date it is a great place either way. Drinks are unique and well garnished!I recommend the octopus and gnocchi -delicious! It is really different from typical bars and restaurant seen more like a spot inthe Village. 1000% recommend but definitely do your best to get a reservation; No walk ins as I've seen people get turned awayall day.

Fabulous in every way. Definitely sit outside if the weather is conducive. Drinks were heavenly - had the ‘Wild... Strawberry’. Ordered the sea bass, it was truly wonderful. My friend had the mini gyros and fries. The soft scoop with mangowas the perfect light dessert to share after. Read more

This place is cute and the drinks are really good. Our server was very nice and helpful. The star of the show was the mini... gyro. The pasta was eh and the burger was good but not the best we’ve had. I would come again just for drinks and the minigyros. It seems like the menu changes often which is refreshing so I would love to come back and try new things. Read more
I’m not much of a brunch person. But! I will do brunch at Residents. Anytime. This place is ah-mazing. The service, the... drinks, the food — delightful! Every staff member is friendly and helpful. They genuinely care about their guests and wantthem to have a good time. The cocktail selections are really interesting and delicious. My fave is the Mexican coffee. I’veoften said, “Move over espresso martini. Here comes the Mexican coffee!” Finally, the food. So many great dishes withwonderful flavors. They are all so different you’ll want to keep coming back to try them all. We certainly have! Cheers! Read more
