Our Take

barmini by José Andrés — Penn Quarter

barmini is José Andrés's avant-garde cocktail bar adjacent to minibar — a 12-seat reservation-only programme where each tasting walks through laboratory-precise spec, theatrical effects and edible-cocktail technique.

The format is fixed — six cocktails, around 90 minutes. The bar uses spherification, rotaries, fat-washes, and edible glassware throughout. One of America's most ambitious cocktail programmes.

Reservation strictly required via website. Bookings released monthly.

What to Order

Spherification

José Andrés signature technique. Used throughout the menu.

12-seat Capacity

Bar counter only. Reservation strictly required.

Edible Glassware

Cocktails served in edible vessels. The theatrical conceit.
