Round Robin Scotch Bar - 1401 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Set just off the lobby of the infamously luxe Willard InterContinental, this high-end scotch bar and restaurant has a reputation for being a popular meeting place for Washington's political and social elite for many years. The Round Robin Scotch Bar is so firmly engrained in DC culture, it applied its trade to great American writers such as Mark Twain and Walt Whitman. With a fashionably inspiring atmosphere and a longstanding tradition of serving the affluent, this downtown spot is a must-see for out-of-town guests regardless of their length of stay.
