The mixologist at Morris is a genius, and I loved the fact that we could tell him our favorite flavor profiles, and he could improvise brilliant cocktails! Egg whites especially appreciated, and did not mind paying the extra dollar. I did wish Morris had a real kitchen, though… Charcuterie plates and sandwiches only go so far, and then you want some hot, cooked tasty snacks to with those great cocktails.

Rita and Rhine are the stars behind the bar and they never fail to shake or stir something up that makes your tastebuds happy. Morris American is a DC staple for cocktails and small bites!
