"While this wood-framed hideaway in Shaw isn’t technically new, the dearly missed drinking den reopened this year after a long hiatus. The sibling bar follows the Mid-Atlantic ethos of the Dabney, its Michelin-starred sibling up top, with a more-accessible menu of local oysters, snacks, cheese, charcuterie, and wines. Meanwhile, the team’s nearby French bistro Petite Cerise just debuted a new coffee bar." - Tierney Plumb
