"You never know who you’ll run into at the Tabard Inn & Restaurant. An old colleague? An old flame? Your grad school professor? The over 100-year-old establishment is an in-the-know revolving door for DC, and even though it’s located in well-trodden Dupont Circle, chances are whoever you bring here didn’t even know this place existed. A wood-burning fireplace, live jazz on Sunday and Monday nights, and cozy, low-slung ceilings make this a great place to come for a cocktail while half listening to the music, half listening to the person you’re with." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
