Alba Huerta's Washington Corridor cocktail bar built around Southern drinking traditions — the bourbon and rye programs run deep, the menu draws on Southern hospitality conventions (mint juleps done with serious precision, the classics handled with chef-grade discipline), and the room is warm and considered. James Beard Outstanding Bar nominations multiple years running. For Southern-rooted cocktail dining from one of America's most decorated bartenders.
