"Probably the most well-known speakeasy in D.C., Allegory has won countless awards for their beverage program and service, including being named the best hotel bar in the U.S. by Tales of the Cocktail in 2024 and 23rd on North America’s 50 Best Bars 2024 list. Tucked behind the bookshelves of Eaton Hotel’s lobby area, the menu takes a cue from their literary entrance. Once seated inside the lounge, a cocktail menu novella is presented with beautiful illustrations depicting Ruby Bridges’ story through the lens of Alice in Wonderland. Between pages of direct interview quotes from Bridges are innovative cocktails that are as whimsical and creative as the space itself." - Abi Newhouse
