Jack Rose Dining Saloon

"This multi-faceted Adams Morgan bar and restaurant boasts a whiskey list with literally thousands of options. An open-air roof deck sprawls across the third floor, which serves draft beer and allows for good views of bustling 18th Street NW below. The food menu features Southern comfort fare such as deviled eggs and crispy chicken skins. Jack Rose’s experimental basement bar Dram & Grain recently resurfaced under next-door sibling spot Imperial." - Tierney Plumb

"Jack Rose in the storied Pontchartrain Hotel is a celebratory space oozing color, style, and pop culture chic. Chef Brian Landry creates modern Creole fare at Jack Rose — try the fried chicken parmesan — and outstanding pub cuisine at Bayou Bar, a destination in itself thanks to the spectacular live jazz that takes over the intimate space five nights a week." - Beth D'Addono

"For $50 an attendee, Jack Rose promises guaranteed two-hour reserved seating in its indoor saloon, unobstructed views of the race on a projector, a welcome pour of Bardstown Bourbon’s fusion series, a round of classic Bardstown mint juleps, and a Derby platter for the table, which consists of cucumber sandwiches, hot browns, and biscuits." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb

"The terrace at Adams Morgan’s longstanding whiskey bar is the place to be at sunset, when bar bites are $2 off select beers start at $6 and pinot noir wine $22. A few doors down, sister spot Imperial slings gin and tonic goblets and lobster risotto across a leafy rooftop." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi
