Barrel

Bar · Capitol Hill

"Capitol Hill bourbon bar hosts its annual Derby Day party with $9 mint juleps, $9 Old Fashioneds, $9 Bourbon Smashes, and chef Walfer Hernandez’s $9 Kentucky Hot Brown skillet. And because it’s also May 4 — “May the Fourth Be With You — there’s also a couple of Star Wars-themed cocktails for fans of both. The race will be shown on TVs with sound, and the guest donning the best Derby getup will win a $50 gift card to Barrel." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
