About

Behind the heavy doors of a former bank vault, this is one of Washington’s most distinctive places for a drink. The room feels glamorous without turning stiff, and the service keeps the experience warm and easy. Cocktails are the main draw, with ideas that go well beyond polished classics and often feel genuinely original. Even so, the bar never loses sight of pleasure, so the drinks remain inviting rather than academic. It is a strong choice for anyone who wants a memorable cocktail bar with real personality.
