Bar Dupont - 1500 New Hampshire Ave NW
Set alongside the lobby of the sophisticated Dupont Circle Hotel, this high-end restaurant and bar is a Washingtonian woman's nightlife dream in terms of location and menu. Despite having a lousy window for happy hour (4-6 p.m. on weekdays), Bar Dupont's prime location directly on the circle is matched only by their perfectly crafted cocktails, which are arguably the best in the District. (Order the Manhattan and you won't regret it.) During the summer months, their comfortably spacious patio is an ideal place for groups of ladies looking to channel their inner Betty Draper with their Mad Men-themed specialty drink menu.
