"Lots of bars serve food, but few have dishes that stand out as much as the drinks. At this Olde Richmond spot, you'll almost always find dates and friends crowding the courtyard with mystery wine and perfect negronis, club sandwiches, hot roast beef, and one of the best salads in the city. The great food and lively energy makes this fun bar worth crossing town for—even if you're not drinking." - alison kessler, candis mclean
