"Behind an inconspicuous door off S Street, Left Door is a dark and moody speakeasy that’s perfect for a nightcap. For walk-ins only, this intimate space above a laundromat feels like you’ve disappeared from the District and entered a completely different time period. Serving classics and experimental drinks alike, you’ll feel cozy and tucked away from the rest of the world." - Abi Newhouse, Nicole Schaller
