"Georgetown’s late night scene is pretty pitiful, but thankfully, there’s Donahue. The lounge, which is open until 2am on Friday and Saturday, feels like a place where you’ll meet a mysterious stranger who is an international spy. The crowd is looking for something more laidback than Martin’s Tavern—the other major late night player—so the jazz music is the loudest thing happening. Huddle with your friends at the bar while trying a few cocktails, like the Bay of Bengal that’s served in a flowered tea cup, or the Sakura, which tastes like a vesper martini served in a sake glass." - joe brantlinger, tristiana hinton, omnia saed
