Classic & modern cocktails, late-night eats, speakeasy vibe
"For a little fancier late night fare, there’s The Golden Age, which serves items like charcuterie boards and golden crab fritters. The kitchen stays open until 1 a.m. on weekdays and 2 a.m. on weekends. They even have live jazz music until midnight on Sundays." - Missy Frederick
"The extensive cocktail list at this Dupont Circle spot is sure to make bargoers feel comfortable as soon as they come in from the chilly weather. The In Two Shakes cocktail takes tips from a hearty rosemary lamb chop dish, using lamb fat-washed scotch, rosemary, thyme, ginger, honey, and lemon to make a whole winter meal out of one drink." - Emily Venezky
"An all night happy hour (that may end early if a winner is announced) will fuel an Election Night watch party at The Golden Age, with $2 off cocktails, wine, and beer. The back room TV will be streaming the election results." - Kalina Newman
"The Dupont Circle cocktail lounge makes use of its 86-inch TV to host a watch party. Customers are encouraged to hang around for its late-night happy hour (midnight to close) for $2 off cocktails, wine, and beer. Its kitchen stays open later than most, until 1 a.m., to send out its popular burger and smothered mushroom toast." - Emily Venezky
"In addition to its top-tier cocktail program, the Golden Age is serving a special drink in honor of the Olympics. The “Abra Cadaver” puts a coffee-infused spin on the “Death in the Afternoon,” an Ernest Hemingway classic from the bar that carries his name in memory in Paris. It’s a blend of Caffe Borghetti, proper French Absinthe, and coffee, ideal for anyone who prefers to sip on something dark." - Vinciane Ngomsi
