Tabard Inn

Stormy weather for the weekend. Sigh. With all the gloominess looming, I think I’ll tuck myself away in a corner at Tabard Inn and indulge in some serious wine. Not only do I adore this quirky inn but they also happen to have one of my favorite wines by the glass – Bruno Porro Dolcetto di Dogliani.

Artini is a monthlong competition among 12 of the area’s top mixologists to create the most artistic martini. This year, the source of inspiration for the cocktails is the Corcoran’s current exhibit “A Love of Europe: Highlights From the William A. Clark Collection.” Every Tuesday through Thursday through March 31, one competing cocktail will be featured for tasting at different venues from 6:30 to 8:30. Here at After Hours, we’ll be showcasing some of the cocktails.

In this era of flea-market aesthetics, it's refreshing to discover a bar that feels broken in because it actually is. At first glance, the crowd at this century-old Dupont Circle institution looks like it's composed of policy wonks who might let think-tank business spill over into cordials, but those guys are here for the same reason you are: to relax over a nouveau bourbon rickey while reclining in a fireside armchair worn in by nothing but asses and time.
