15 Best Bars in Washington, D.C. | Condé Nast Traveler

"At José Andrés’ cocktail lab in Penn Quarter, the sister to the exclusive Minibar dining experience, the drinks are works of art that don't take themselves too seriously. The current cocktail flight includes the "Divine Wind," a drink that changes color in front of your eyes as clarified lime juice transforms the cocktail's butterfly pea flower syrup from blue to pink. You don't have to opt for the flight though: there are 100 cocktails on the menu and bartenders can dream something up on the spot. Book a reservation well in advance for a fancy, but fun, D.C. night out." - Adele Chapin
