"This bar inside the refurbished Watergate Hotel could probably coast by on style points alone, thanks to a flashy design involving 2,500 illuminated bottles. But look beyond the surface and find a deep and diverse whiskey list (though it’s mostly geared towards high rollers). The bar also offer flights and pairings called “whiskey siblings” which showcase similar flavors." - Missy Frederick

"Six spooky igloos surrounded by fog will take up residency outside the Watergate’s lobby bar. Themed cocktails include the Jack O’Lantern and the El Diablo, made with dry ice. Look for a candy bike cart parked in the lobby for a trick-or-treat fix." - Tierney Plumb
"The retro whisky bar inside the Watergate hotel stirs Toki Suntory Japanese Whisky, Dolin Blanc Vermouth, Matcha Green Tea Kit Kat syrup, lemon, pink lemon whip, and apple blossom flower. The name doubles a history lesson, referring to the pedestrian path that follows a cherry tree-lined canal between zen Buddhist temples in Kyoto. Influential 20th-century Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida is said to have walked it for daily meditation." - Tierney Plumb
