The Early Word on Left Door in Logan Circle

Left Door opened last month in Logan Circle. It's the latest project from Tom Brown, former owner of the now-shuttered Hogo. Mick Perrigo, who most recently worked at El Camino, is leading the bartending team.

The small bar specializes in cocktails, high-end spirits, and also offers bar snacks. Washington City Paper also reports they have a $100 cocktail made from 20-year-old Pappy Van Winkle bourbon is combined with Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne, lemon juice, and honey to make a French 95. The cocktail den only has six Yelp reviews with an overall rating of four and a half stars, but there's plenty of chatter on social media. Read on for the early word on Left Door.
