"Birthed by D.C. hospitality vets in 2021, Logan Circle’s cozy cocktail den showcases home-style party snacks and a cocktail menu that’s organized by spirit. Classics like gin-based Negronis and martinis play well alongside offbeat creations like the strong Sit Here And Drink (Basque whiskey, Ramazzotti amaro, Benedictine, red wine). The 850-square-foot space sports a throwback look that’s reminiscent of a hip mother’s living room. The team expands to Union Market district this spring with the hotly anticipated Bar Betsie." - Tierney Plumb
"This 14th Street cocktail den is covered in cute wallpaper-covered alcoves, so of course the bathrooms are covered in cheeky 1950s-paper-doll-style wallpaper that looks adorable in a bathroom selfie. However, the most famous part of the lavatories happens to be the ever-changing embroideries outside. The original flower-covered sign that read “please don’t do coke in the bathroom” was stolen (and returned) by a patron in 2022, which inspired the Jane Jane team to sell the constantly revolving embroidery art and donate the funds to local charities." - Abi Newhouse
"Logan Circle’s go-to cocktail den also delivers playful riffs on drinking snacks. That includes finishing deviled eggs with a nostalgic Cheez-It crumble." - Tierney Plumb
"This adorable 14th Street NW bar is a must for cocktail enthusiasts, and the espresso martini ($15) doesn’t disappoint. Its classic recipe combines vodka, coffee liqueur, and cold brew — which pairs surprisingly well with the complimentary cheese crackers." - Tierney Plumb
"LGBTQ+-owned cocktail bar, decked out in over-the-top colorful decor, sells to-go cocktails during the Pride parade like the “Thirst Trap” and T-shirts branded with its “We’re Here. We’re Queer. We’re Thirsty” Pride slogan. Jane Jane also donates 10 percent of sales from its frozen Pink Pony Club cocktail to SMYAL all month." - Evan Caplan
