More often than not, tipsters, readers, friends and family of Eater have one question: Where should I drink right now? While the Eater 38 is a crucial resource covering essential restaurants across the city, and the Eater Heatmap highlights where food lovers are flocking to at the moment, neither of these properly reflect the bars locals are patronizing right now.

Rather than feature the perennial favorites — though drinkers can find those here — this map focuses on new arrivals or places that have made significant changes. This winter, D.C.’s bar scene will ramp up more with Jack Rose’s new Imperial bar and Adam Greenberg’s anticipated Coconut Club.

The featured bars are not ranked. They are arranged geographically from north to south.
