The Best New Bars Around D.C. Right Now
"Neighborhood wine bar Nero reopened in fresh Dupont digs this fall. Situated a short walk from the original, Nero slides into a storied brick row house that formerly housed Bar and Lounge 54, Tulips, and Irish Whiskey. Weekday happy hour (4 p.m.-7 p.m.) includes discounts on cocktails, local brews, and bites. The menu picks up right where it left off, fusing Indian and Italian flavors under one new roof. A secretive, subterranean speakeasy is filled with flickering candles and cocktails made by a Death & Co bartender." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
