The Critics

In this week's chat, Tom Sietsema shares where he'd go for a well-made, classic cocktail, particularly near 14th Street. "Among the best bar tenders on that delicious stretch of the city are the shakers and stirrers at Estadio, 2 Birds 1 Stone, Bar Pilar and Pearl Dive. Over on 18th St. NW, you should check out the liquid pleasures at the young Bar Charley." [WaPo]
