SO romantic & vibey with dim lighting. Amazing wine list and you have to order the French onion soup & chocolate soufflé to share!
Minetta Tavern DC
Red velvet interior, candlelight and voted one of dc’s most romantic restaurants! Recommend for both brunch and dinner!
Bistro Cacao
old-school Italian! Great service and the mushroom truffle pasta is a must
Caruso's Grocery
Love the rooftop for the summer! Perf to split some sake and rolls! The garlic edamame dumplings & udon carbonara are both must-orders
Perry's Restaurant
obsesssd with the drunken love pizza!! Inside it’s dimly lit with candles as decor and the outdoor patio space is also very aesthetic.
Grazie Nonna
Cafe by day but at night it becomes sort of a cocktail lounge and eatery with delicious Latino-inspired dishes to share. Love the pork belly and the carrot cake is also to die for! Cocktails are unique and nicely curated - loved the nochebuena!
The Royal
Perfect for sharing multiple small plates and has an artsy vibe about it. Hummus is super creamy and patatas bravas and lamb kefta were other good options!
Gypsy Kitchen DC
bars🍸
Go during happy hour to listen to live jazz and split a bottle of wine!
St. Vincent Wine
We LOVE this place. Must order the mint lemonade & they have so many good shareable dishes including the hummus, pita and chips, labneh with za’tar, batata harra fries! Their drinks never miss!
The Green Zone
Perfect spot to enjoy a drink before dinner! Crowded but worth the hype! Don’t take reservations but can put yourself on a waiting list
Jane Jane
Super vibey and has an amazing daily happy hour! Half off drinks and $1 dumplings. You HAVE to order their garlic noodles!
Bar Chinois
The interior is super aesthetic - think a chic velvet green library. Bartenders are so knowledgeable and it fun to have them pick drinks that suited our palette! Beluga caviar and chips are an upscale app to order
The Wells
Atmosphere is amazing and so are the drinks! Sister bar to Jane Jane & perfect for pre-drinks before dinner in Union market
Bar Betsie
Fun seasonal decor. Offers small plates for sharing and has a iconic espresso martini

Unassuming speakeasy. Very vibey with great cocktails. Super lowkey

Cute for a rooftop date in Georgetown! Really liked their espresso martini!
The Rooftop at the Graham
