The Reef is a bar located at 2446 18th St. in Adams Morgan.

Cost – $$$

Service – C
The doormen are a bit annoying, which is typical for Adams Morgan. The bar staff is nothing to really write home about. That being said, they don’t do anything egregiously bad so they get an average grade.

Food – ?
Do they serve food? Je ne sais pas.

Decor – B+
Not a bad feel for a place in Adams Morgan. You almost forget that you are in a trashy neighborhood when you’re up there.

Feel – B+
I would say as far as Adams Morgan goes, it probably attracts a decent caliber of people. Definitely not a bad place to go socialize.
