"Part of Ford Fry’s mini Germantown empire (The Optimist, Star Rover, and Jacqueline), Le Loup is tucked away upstairs from The Optimist in its own little nest of spirits and snacks. The nautical-themed haunt features little nooks, banquettes, and couches for sipping on cocktails like the Fire Within made using Japanese whisky, scotch, aquavit, green apple, and celery, or snacking on fresh oysters and smoked fish dip with trout roe. The non-alcoholic options here are also complex palate pleasers." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
