"While this wood-framed hideaway in Shaw isn’t technically new, the dearly missed drinking den reopened this year after a long hiatus. The sibling bar follows the Mid-Atlantic ethos of the Dabney, its Michelin-starred sibling up top, with a more-accessible menu of local oysters, snacks, cheese, charcuterie, and wines. Meanwhile, the team’s nearby French bistro Petite Cerise just debuted a new coffee bar." - Tierney Plumb
"I wrote that Brad Langdon was named bar manager at The Dabney (and its subterranean sister bar, the Dabney Cellar), replacing Sarah Ruiz, with Alex Zink remaining as beverage director and Langdon currently recruiting to expand the bar staff and program." - Eater Staff
"Hidden down a flight of stairs in Shaw, this companion bar adjacent to Blagden Alley’s Mid-Atlantic standout is a cozy, dimly lit space to park, drink interesting wine, and snack on oysters, cheese, and charcuterie. It’s perfect for date night or a small group." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
"The Dabney Cellar is the purposefully-inconspicuous underground wine bar with serious culinary cred. An extension of chef Jeremiah Langhorne’s award-winning restaurant in Blagden Alley, the Dabney Cellar features oysters and charcuterie, plus a small, thoughtful menu of frequently-changing dishes like foie gras parfait and scallop crudo." - Lisa Ruland
"Opened recently by Jeremiah Langhorne, Dabney Cellar is described as his newly opened project alongside the Michelin-starred Dabney." - Warren Rojas
