The Best New Bars Around D.C. Right Now | Eater DC

"Adams Morgan’s iconic “18th and U” address made an anticipated comeback in November with renewed energy, colorful cocktails, and a Beyonce-themed bathroom. The LGBTQ-friendly reboot offers everything from comfort food favorites to Bravo-viewing parties and lively weekend brunches flowing with bubbly beverages. Behind the bar, Her Diner shakes up fruit-forward crushes as well as twists on classics that include a dill pickle brine martini, a Hugo spritz, and a fig vodka mule. The restaurant is the brainchild of Kelly Laczko, who makes her debut as an owner and operator after spending 10 years as general manager for the space’s previous occupant, Duplex Diner." - Emily Venezky
