Best cocktail bar I've found in the area so far. Selection behind the bar is small so going off-menu is limited but what they have is better than the PX or The Gibson...especially if you're into the NY brown & boozy style. The Quackerack is a fantastic Sazerac/Vieux Carre variation. By chipping their own ice they avoid a major problem with DC cocktails (i.e. the Tabard Inn would be good if they didn't have horrid ice..completely ruins their drinks).
Solid, well-executed, contemporary restaurant food. Maybe a bit conservative but glad to have it in Silver Spring. Good service. They try on cocktails (house bitters and so forth) but they're not very good.
Leopold is very good. These days even the Montgomery County liquor stores carry Luxardo (at almost double retail price which is bizarre considering how cheaply they sell some other stuff).
