Washington DC, United States
Sitting above a ground-floor Chinese-American restaurant, Copycat Co. brings a playful, pan-Asian-inflected cocktail program to the H Street corridor, a neighborhood that has carved out its own identity, distinct from the Blagden Alley and U Street establishments. The bar leans into Southeast Asian flavors, lemongrass, galangal, coconut, pandan, woven through approachable formats that keep the room fun and the pacing brisk. The Pisco Punch with pineapple syrup and the Szechuan-tinged Margarita are regulars on a menu that changes with the seasons. The rooftop opens in warmer months, offering one of the best perches on H Street. A bar that brings the neighborhood's irreverent energy to the glass.
