THE BAR

The Past Is Pouring

Our cocktail program looks backward without getting stuck there.

Roughly three-quarters pre-Prohibition classics, the rest modern riffs. Dirty Martini, District Still Negroni, Oaxacan Old Fashioned, Maghrebi Mojito, Morning Glory, and a full spirit-free list, alongside a curated selection of wine and beer.

Cocktails, Wine & Beer

Stone. Slate. Low light. The remnants of another Washington still visible around you.

A Hidden Time Capsule

District Still draws from the ritual and discretion of the city's after-hours history while creating something distinctly current: a place where dinner stretches into drinks and conversations are given time to unfold.
