"Accessed through a charming flower shop next door, this surprise subterranean bar is bathed in blue with handsome nautical decor, and its “Legendary Cocktails” list nods to D.C.’s Scottish settlers and tales of the Potomac—try a Tide Water Martini with Maryland crab-stuffed olives bobbing inside. Making a hotly anticipated stateside debut alongside its sibling in Georgetown, the Buenos Aires–born basement bar currently ranks among the World’s 50 Best; set beneath what used to be D.C.’s oldest firehouse along the C&O Canal, the experience begins in that enchanting flower shop, which even stocks natural wines sold until 2 a.m." - Tierney Plumb
