About

An easygoing room with serious drinks is what makes this U Street favorite stand out. Service Bar brings real cocktail craft without any stiffness, so it works just as well for a casual night out as it does for people who care about what is in the glass. The menu is known for inventive, well made drinks, and the kitchen has earned its own following for fried chicken that feels far better than standard bar food. What stays with most people, though, is the balance of quality and comfort. It is polished, lively, and pleasantly unpretentious.
