"Diving" into DC speakeasys.
Secrets—keeping them, leaking them—are currency in this town. From Rahm to Real [Housewives of DC - HOLLA]…new boozy hideouts for one-on-one lobbying/gossiping are all the rage. And since information is power, I'll share a bit of info with you: The Passenger.
Below is my very own ByTheNumbersTellAll about The Passenger, a rough-and-ready watering hole I HIGHLY recommend for a night of casual refinement:
Beers in cans: 15
Beers on tap: 4
Cocktails on the menu: 2
Number of cocktails on the menu called the Sherry Flip that come in a pitcher: 1
Dim light fixtures: 11
Dark corners for aforementioned one-on-one lobbying: 7
Naked light bulbs hanging from the ceiling by wires: 1
Naked women hanging from the ceiling by wires: 0 (yet)
Approximate date of the wood floors: 1890
Hot Dogs on the menu: 2
Hot Dogs with Kimchee (I KNOW, RIGHT? where my koreanz at??) on the menu: 1
That being said, the best thing about The Passenger are their personally tailored cocktails. Just do your best to describe the type of drink you're in the mood for - sweet, not so sweet...idk - and I promise these bartenders will be able to decipher. I said I wanted something tasty, light and different and got some type of apricot liquor, lemon and absinthe cocktail....or four :)
Four stars!
Anyway, stay tuned for more DCadventures from me
