The Hottest New Bars Around D.C. Right Now

"Downtown’s high-brow izakaya Shōtō doubled down with a next-level lounge in the back. The 2-month-old weekend respite does big-ticketed table service with high-caliber DJs to match. The sprawling time capsule of a space pays homage to circa-1970s Tokyo, when its rock-and-roll era rose to fame. Managing partner Arman Naqi’s vision for the Arcade came to light while wandering the flashing streets of Shinjuku and Shibuya." - Tierney Plumb
