Some of DC’s best bars also serve some of DC’s best food.

Room 11 is about halfway between the Columbia Heights and Georgia Avenue metro stations. It’s a tiny space, but they are in the middle of an expansion. Grab a seat on the patio and enjoy a few of the small plates with your inventive cocktail or wine, or come by for Sunday brunch.

In Logan Circle, we love Estadio. Right across from the Studio Theatre, where Kate teaches, it’s a great spot to eat before catching a show. If you like gin & tonic, this is the place for you. The multiple choices are all mixed with house-made tonics. We love sitting at the bar and indulging in whatever small plates are recommended to us.
