"For a unique spin on the fried pickle, Present Company serves pickle chips in a salty, fluffy tempura batter. Even if you don’t fancy yourself a Russian dressing fan, their dipping sauce still works well to bring out the flavor of the pickle." - Hannah Yasharoff
"Located inside D.C.’s oldest firehouse, this pub cranks out Nashville-style hot wings sure to bring on a sweat. Orders are dressed with whiskey, maple, ranch, and shaved celery. There’s now delivery, too." - Missy Frederick
"Geeks Who Drink set up shop at this Mt. Vernon Square watering hole each Tuesday. The game starts at 7 p.m., and reservations are a must (available through Resy). The same trivia group also sets up shop at sibling bar Pub & the People every Monday night." - Travis Mitchell
"Mt. Vernon Triangle’s tavern is getting into the single spirit all month with a special “Single AF” cocktail menu. Options include the It’s Not You It’s Me (Smirnoff Cosmo); Table for 1 (Libelula margarita); and Red Flag shooter (Chacho with a grenadine float)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Chef Lincoln Fuge brings a fine dining touch to the pub food at this standout firehouse bar with a brick-lined patio on Massachusetts Avenue NW. The Nashville native’s hot chicken sandwich ($17) comes with a Maine maple sugar and whiskey sauce, pickles, and slaw on a potato bun. Speaking of spicy, Fuge also showcases hot sauces made from chiles grown in his garden to go along with his Hook and Ladder line." - Tim Ebner
