"Service Bar continues to be one of the top 50 bars in North America for its inventive cocktails and friendly, knowledgeable staff. It’s no surprise the small stalwart that just turned 8 draws a consistent crowd of regulars, visitors, and bar industry friends to U Street NW. The drink menu is arranged by spirits and makes use of seasonal ingredients wherever possible. Fried chicken remains a fan favorite, as do the $7 happy hour specials that include Old Fashioneds and classic daiquiris. Co-owners Glendon Hartley and Chad Spangler also run Amazonia in Shaw, a pisco-fueled paradise p their newly-Michelin-starred tasting room Causa." - Tierney Plumb, Travis Mitchell
