"Lobby Bar on Capitol Hill is pulling ingredients straight from Eastern Market vendors, which means you’ll find Maryland crab cakes, Old Bay salmon, and a dirty martini that’s been upgraded with an olive oil wash and oyster brine." - omnia saed

"Owner Adam Shulman debuts a New American restaurant and bar in the former Boxcar Tavern space with an experimental martini program, happy hour, and late-night service. Chef Andre Williams’s menu includes local oysters, shrimp cocktail, crab cakes, a double smash burger, chicken pot pie stuffed with root vegetables, and a weekend-only prime rib special. Cocktail creator Tori Pratt (founder of Pratt Standard Cocktail Company) remixes a dirty martini with caper brine, tops a gin French 75 with a caviar-and-potato chip bite, and jazzes up an espresso martini with brown sugar. The 2,000-square-foot venue features an 18-seat bar, cozy booths, a communal table, an outdoor patio, and sources ingredients from vendors and farmers at the historic Eastern Market directly across the street." - Tierney Plumb
"A surprise new American restaurant on Barracks Row occupying the space that most recently housed Boxcar Tavern; owner Adam Shulman brings a "playful, experimental" bar program with happy hour and late-night service, while Tori Pratt (founder of Pratt & Standard Cocktail Company) designs a specialty martini menu. The 2,000-square-foot room features an 18-seat bar, cozy booths, a communal table, and an outdoor patio; the kitchen plans to source many ingredients from local vendors and farmers at nearby historic Eastern Market." - Tierney Plumb
"On the ground floor, the sprawling 88-seat lobby bar will serve original and classic cocktails paired with snacks, and I expect the music to lean toward jazz and contemporary soul." - Beth McKibben
