Beneath Barrel · Washington, DC

A quiet corner of a loud city.

Cocktails, rare whiskey, and a room built for staying awhile.

Welcome to the bit

This place belongs to those who first taught us hospitality and those who reinforced it along the way; the people who gave us a seat at their bar, picked us up after long nights, trusted us with their stories, and reminded us to stay curious.

Mentors, coworkers, regulars, guests, friends, and family — this place carries a little bit of all of them.

We hope you feel that when you're here.
