Art-deco lounge with burgers, kebabs, cocktails, and late-night fare
"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
"Hosting an Election Night watch party with an all-night happy hour (may end early if a winner is announced) offering $2 off cocktails, wine, and beer; the back room TV will stream the election results." - Kalina Newman
"At 1726 Connecticut Avenue NW, I’d watch the debate on the 86-inch TV and stick around for late-night happy hour (midnight to close) with $2 off cocktails, wine, and beer; the kitchen stays open 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
