"It always feels like a party at Mt. Vernon Triangle’s high-energy hangout for Frenchified cocktails, Champagne, DJs, dumplings, and industry regulars since 2021. Popular cocktails include a Calvados daiquiri and the “Big Pink” with tequila, créme de cassis currant liqueur, and Q grapefruit soda and a Calvados daiquiri with lime and simple syrup. The French beverage program the bar is known for made it over to 14th Street NW last spring with the arrival of the team’s stylish new izakaya called Bar Japonais. A second Bar Chinois is en route to National Landing." - Tierney Plumb
