Midcentury modern wine bar with craft cocktails & bites
"A Capitol Hill wine bar is running a "Winter Warmers" menu featuring mulled wine, hot toddy, and spiked cider for $12 each and offering asparagus soup for $9." - Tierney Plumb
"Hosting an ugly sweater wine class ($65) with the theme “The Island of Misfit Wines” this Sunday at 1 p.m.; attendees are encouraged to come dressed in their ugliest, mismatched Christmas sweater to impress the wine bar’s staff and potentially win a prize." - Emily Venezky
"On Capitol Hill I attended The Eastern’s daytime Halloween party and wine class on Sunday, where employee Eric Morris naturally transformed into grapes." - Tierney Plumb
"This well-appointed, midcentury modern bar from the owners of nearby Barrel does a lot in a tiny space. The wine list guides customers by familiar tastes, including recommendations from Austria, Argentina, or Greece, “If you like Chilled Reds.” Casual bar bites include pimento cheese dip, charcuterie like a “gin and juice lamb salami,” and tuna tartare in an orange ginger glaze." - Emily Venezky
"For those who’d like a lesson while sipping a beverage, the Eastern is offering a French wine class for $50 per person. Starting at 1 p.m., a sommelier will lead the tasting and snacks will be provided from the restaurant. Snag tickets here." - Vinciane Ngomsi
