AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014In 1850, Senator Clay mixed the first mint julep in D.C. and since then has become the bar's signature drink. In fact, the original recipe is still used with the ingredients on display at the bar. Read more

Library LadySeptember 12, 2011“You adopt the universal habit of the place and call for a mint-julep, a whiskey-skin, a gin-cocktail...for the conviviality of Washington sets in at an early hour,” wrote Nathaniel Hawthorne in 1862
ℋumorousMay 8, 2016It’s good to have a stiff drink in the Round Robin Bar of the hotel where Julia Ward Howe finally found some printable words for the tune of “John Brown’s Body.” —Christopher Hitchens
- John-Henry PereraNovember 2, 2015It's a quaint little bar. Their cocktail and drink programs could use a lot more depth.
- ElisaMarch 30Cool historic bar. Mint juleps were on the sweet side and not really worth the price tag though.
Check out the Whisky Bar in the hall up the stairs. They have a wide selection of Scotch.
Laura HoweMarch 19, 2010Not exactly a young crowd. (Read: lots old guys in blue blazers and khakis.) But the wine was great and you always see someone notable there. A dignified DC watering hole.
Now that the templates is dipping down, order an Irish coffee to warm up
Chris BorgesonApril 16, 2013Far from impressed by the service and the drinks. Additionally, staff gave me attitude for ordering two drinks while my companion was in the restroom. Needless to say, I won't be back.
amazing historical location - and the Laphroiag is reasonably priced!
Very bad experience at bar: were charged for a port wine 4X as expensive as the one we ordered, waiter (Glenn) refused to believe us.

"Grand, historical hotel! Even if you can't stay, well worth a visit to witness the interior; or grab a drink at the scotch bar or Round Robin bar, which claims to be the origin of the mint julep."
Andrew Doll- 7.7
