A Hand Roll Sushi Counter With an Attached Highball Bar Lands in the Heart of Old Town - Eater DC
"Upstairs at 728 King Street, a gold-adorned bar called King's Ransom replaces PX. At King's Ransom, beverage director Jon Schott (the People's Drug) and Alex Taylor (Hank's Oyster Bar) will pour Japanese whiskeys and employ a rare toki highball machine to mix chilled, carbonated cocktails. While Handover has clean lines and a tranquil aesthetic, the upstairs cocktail bar skews darker. King's Ransom references the British influence over Hong Kong, complete with 23-karat gold logos of a king and moon and black velvet chairs with golden legs. Food upstairs will include bento boxes and poke bowls. Creative tuna tostadas with daikon radish arrive on an avocado shell." - Tierney Plumb
