Forget the three martini lunch. D.C. is now one of the preeminent drinking destinations in the country. Shaw’s own Columbia Room was just named “Best American Cocktail Bar” by Tales of the Cocktail; local drink makers continue to push the envelope at a growing number of homegrown distilleries, breweries, and cideries; and no season is complete without an Instagram-ready beverage (Tiki? Sgroppino?) As such, it’s time to round up the top drink-related maps and guides Eater DC has to offer. Bookmark this as your definitive guide to drinking in the district.
