15 Best Bars in Washington, D.C. | Condé Nast Traveler
"Restaurateur Jamie Leeds picked up her Petworth drinking den Hank's Cocktail Bar this year and moved it to Dupont Circle, taking over the floor above her long-running restaurant Hank's Oyster Bar. Now there's even more room for experimentation, and like all of Leeds' establishments, the menu here goes beyond the ordinary. Happy hour includes "trash gimlets" made with repurposed ingredients, while a "Yam Thale" off the seasonal menu plays with savory and sweet with a mix of chili, fish sauce, peanut gin, cucumber, lime, ginger, and cilantro-peanut oil. Bonus, now you can head downstairs for lobster rolls after a drink or two." - Adele Chapin
