Q&A

Q: What should I wear to the speakeasy experience?

A: I'd suggest dressing up a bit! Think classy yet comfortable. A nice cocktail dress or slacks and a button-up would fit the vibe perfectly. The venue has a vintage feel, so you might want to channel the 1920s a bit with your outfit. But don’t stress too much—just look polished and you’ll be fine!

Q: Can I reschedule if my plans change?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! They have a flexible policy for rescheduling, usually requiring at least 48 hours notice. Just reach out to them directly, and they’ll help you find another date that works.

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this experience?

A: Yes, since it's a cocktail experience, guests must be 21 or older to enjoy the drinks. However, they do offer zero-proof options for anyone underage, so your teens can still join in on the fun! Just keep in mind that the atmosphere may be more suitable for adults.

Just got back from the Sips from the Past experience—what a blast!

I took my partner to the Sips from the Past speakeasy experience in DC for our anniversary, and it was amazing! The cocktails were super creative, especially the one inspired by the 1920s—it had this smoky flavor that was divine. Plus, the small plate they paired with it was delicious. The ambiance really transports you back in time. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable date night! Just make sure to wear something nice; it adds to the whole vibe.

Thinking of gifting the speakeasy experience—need some advice!

I’m considering getting the Sips from the Past experience for my friend's birthday. She loves history and cocktails, so it seems perfect! Does anyone know if the food portions are good? I want to make sure she gets a decent meal along with the drinks.
