Jack Rose Dining Saloon

Washington DC

Winner of World's Best Spirits Selection at the 2022 Spirited Awards, regional honoree for Best American High Volume Cocktail Bar at the 2020 Spirited Awards, and Top 10 nominee for Best American High Volume Cocktail Bar at the 2019 Spirited Awards.

Housing more than 2,700 whiskey expressions across three floors, Jack Rose Dining Saloon is the most ambitious spirits destination in the District, and arguably on the entire East Coast. The ground-floor dining saloon pours an extensive cocktail program built around that collection, with bartenders who can navigate obscure single malts and pre-Prohibition American whiskeys with equal fluency. The rooftop terrace opens seasonally with a more casual menu, while the cellar-level Premier Drams operates as a tasting room and spirits shop for serious collectors. Listed on 50Best Discovery, the bar earns its reputation not through gimmickry but through sheer depth, no other bar in Washington gives you this breadth of brown spirits under one roof. A pilgrimage for whiskey drinkers, and a revelation for everyone else.
