600t

"The 600 T bar, located in the heart of the city, is a hidden gem that's worth seeking out. This speakeasy-style bar is tucked away behind an unmarked door, so it can be a bit tricky to find. Once inside, the decor is a mix of vintage and modern, with plush velvet chairs and dim lighting creating a cozy ambiance. The bar boasts an impressive collection of spirits, with a particular focus on whiskey and other brown liquors. Cocktails here are expertly crafted, and the menu changes frequently to highlight seasonal ingredients. Popular drinks include the Old Fashioned and the Bee's Knees, but the bartenders are happy to make recommendations based on your preferences. As a speakeasy, reservations are highly recommended, and the bar can get quite busy, especially on weekends. The prices are on the higher side, with cocktails ranging from $14 to $18, but the quality of the drinks and the atmosphere make it a worthwhile splurge. "

"Located beneath a nondescript rowhouse on Florida Ave. without a sign or even a name. 600t is known for its expertly crafted cocktails that focus on bold flavors. The unmarked entrance might make it easy to miss. However, the minimalist decor—candlelit tables, clean lines and moody lighting—sets the stage for a curated playlist of ambient and jazzy tracks. Ask the bartender for seasonal recommendations, as the menu evolves to showcase fresh, local ingredients. Small plates are not to be missed—think charcuterie boards and artisanal snacks that complement the drinks. This intimate bar was conceived and designed by Steve Lawrence and bartender David Strauss, veterans of D.C.’s craft cocktail scene who envisioned a space that celebrates the art of mixology without the fanfare. It maintains an air of exclusivity with its intimate seating arrangement, so arriving early or securing a reservation."
