"Reynold’s Bar and Casamara Rooftop are teaming up for Midnight Rendezvous, a two-venue New Year’s Eve party. For $130 per person, enjoy gourmet canapés, DJs, signature champagne cocktails, a midnight toast, and party favors, while moving between Casamara Rooftop’s Après Ski vibe and Reynold’s cozy “house” party, finishing the night with a late-night snack and next-day recovery kit." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Hospitality magnate Jason Pomeranc’s bi-coastal brand Sixty Hotels, with locations in NYC and Los Angeles, revitalizes the prime Dupont real estate where club Gryphon and cult cocktail bar Sheppard once sat. Years in the making, Sixty DC’s 80-room boutique hotel opened in late May with a pair of dining destinations led by Hanif Harji of Toronto’s Scale Hospitality. Anchor restaurant Casamara celebrates the coastal flavors of Spain, France, Italy, and Greece with dishes like citrusy branzino crudo, Iberico pork chop, harissa roast chicken, truffle bucatini cacio e pepe, and lamb rotolo. Retro-chic cocktail counterpart Reynold’s in the back slings all sorts of martinis and fancy bar snacks like mini lobster rolls, foie-gras poutine, and truffle popcorn. A 3,000-square-foot rooftop is coming soon." - Eater Staff
"A few steps away is a retro-glam, midcentury-modern lounge adorned with Americana artwork and floor-to-ceiling wood paneling; guests can enter through a back door connected to the hotel or through its own separate entrance on 18th Street NW. The drinks program leans heavily into martinis: "We lean into the martini in a very meaningful way," Harji says, and the lengthy opening cocktail menu is organized into sections for martinis, forgotten classics, seasonal affairs, and large-format options like a French "750." There are classic iterations and more adventurous choices, including a savory pesto-washed tequila and tomatillo brine martini known as Nightshade. (Across the hotel program, playful-but-traditional examples include the Pepperoncini-tini, a dirty martini featuring Grey Goose vodka and a pepperoncini brine finished with a feta-stuffed olive.) A selection of snazzy bar bites includes lobster rolls, poutine, grilled cheese, truffle popcorn, and caviar dip-and-dill chips. The lounge aims for a snazzy, retro-glam vibe and will be open six days a week from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. (closed on Tuesdays)." - Mekita Rivas
"A jewel-toned cocktail counterpart to the anchor restaurant that plans trend-forward martinis dusted with bubble gum “spice dust” and elevated bar snacks such as mini lobster rolls, foie-gras poutine, and truffle popcorn; it anchors a boutique hotel project with a significant rooftop presence led by a bi-coastal hospitality brand." - Tierney Plumb
"A jewel-toned cocktail counterpart that plans to sling trendy martinis sprinkled with bubble gum "spice dust," per a release, and to serve polished bar snacks like mini lobster rolls, foie gras poutine, and truffle popcorn — a glossy, playful late-night option tied to the new hotel operation." - Tierney Plumb
