"Bourbon, located at 2321 18th Street NW, served over 400 American whiskeys, 20 domestic beers, and hearty bar fare. The bar announced its closure on Facebook on Thursday, October 25, hinting at future plans for the brand. Its biggest annual event was the Kentucky Derby party, where 1,500 Mint Juleps were sold. The owner, James Woods, spoke about the challenges of the burgeoning D.C. dining scene and the need to evolve with new creative avenues being paved." - Tierney Plumb
