"Adams Morgan cocktail bar Grand Duchess, which quickly became known for its $7 Old Fashioneds and $5 grilled cheeses upon opening last year, had to take a hiatus this summer to tend to an occupancy issue: There was only one bathroom on site, which meant only 15 patrons were legally allowed inside the 1,200-square-foot space at any given time. With a second toilet now in place, 48 people are free to eat and drink (and pee) at the dimly-lit cocktail den, scheduled to reopen Wednesday, September 19 at 4 p.m. First-time bar owners Vinnie Rotondaro and Rory Adair tell Eater its best-selling cheap eats and drinks are making a comeback, along with more cocktails and food in the mix this time around." - Tierney Plumb
